We do use Kademlia - but note this release actually runs 2 DHTs - one for LAN connections and one for WAN connections. You could easily imagine a small Mars outpost as the LAN DHT where you can do fast retrieval for all content already available locally without hitting interplanetary lookup times.

What are your plans WRT Coral? I noticed there's a work-in-progress Go implementation. Is it going to supercede Kademlia eventually?

Yeah, thats roughly the idea. We can evolve the current DHT into something coral-like, or if something better comes along, we will use that.
