+description: Add webtransport support to nim-libp2p
+

+
+`vac:p2p:ift:2025q2-nimlibp2p-universal-connectivity-app`
+
+Realtime highly decentralised chat app.
+
+## Description
+
+Create an example chat application that demonstrates libp2p features using gossipsub for messaging, 
+and WSS, Quic, and TCP transports. 
+This app should be published at the [libp2p/universal-connectivity](https://github.com/libp2p/universal-connectivity) repository.
+A future commitment might add support of Kad-DHT to discover nodes, 
+and additional transports like WebTransport/WebRTC/WebRTC-direct as transports (once they're available in nim-libp2p). 
+
+## Task List
+
+### Chat
+* fully qualified name: `vac:p2p:ift:2025q2-nimlibp2p-universal-connectivity-app:chat`
+* owner: gabe
+* status: 
+* start-date:
+* end-date:
+
+#### Description
+Using either [directchat.nim](https://github.com/vacp2p/nim-libp2p/blob/master/examples/directchat.nim) or [chat2](https://github.com/waku-org/nwaku/tree/master/apps/chat2),
+implement a chat application that can interop successfully with other implementations available at [libp2p/universal-connectivity](https://github.com/libp2p/universal-connectivity/tree/main).
+
+#### Deliverables
+- Minimal TUI (send/receive messages, join chatrooms)
+- Connect directly to peers by specifying the peers multiaddresses
+- NAT support (upnp/pmp) (logic can be extracted from nwaku `wakunode2`.)
+- Interop
+
+
+### File Exchange
+* fully qualified name: `vac:p2p:ift:2025q2-nimlibp2p-universal-connectivity-app:file-exchange`
+* owner: gabe
+* status: 
+* start-date:
+* end-date:
+
+#### Description
+Allow sending/receiving files. Must react to messages sent of the file exchange topic.
+
+#### Deliverables
+- Basic UI - Receive file message
+- Allow sending file  (maybe with a chat command `/file path/to/file`)
+- Interop
