It's frigging cool. It's super hard to make a meaningful model for p2p applications because they need all kinds of data structures that are research tier or have scarce real-world data. It's not just connectivity that's hard. If they manage to do everything decentralized and create meaningful constructs. This could be the start of actually realizing all the rhetoric these kind of projects have been promising. This seems to have technical merit, imo.

Feels like creating small, ephemeral groups is an easier part of p2p too, so it fits that particular use case well.
Sounds like a job for Conflict-free Replicated Data Types https://crdt.tech/
