Doesn't it seem odd to have "Pricing" for a protocol that's meant to serve a similar function to IP addresses? Maybe I'm misunderstanding something.

I wonder if Iroh and Zenoh could/should be used together.

The fundamental component of Iroh is p2p routing by key, and the main utility provided by Zenoh is message semantics. The two seem complementary.

Maybe. It's offering "Customized hosting and monitoring for Iroh apps".

Good for Iroh to have libraries within different languages.

I think that with Kotlin support, the creation of some android/multi-platform gui apps can be made easier if they want to use Iroh.

From the same pricing page, it's all additional services: observability, relay hosting, support engineers.

As others have already mentioned, iroh the core library and protocol is fully open source. But to finance the development of it, we offer additional services to make it easier to deploy and run it, especially for larger or more specialized use caes.

Zenoh seems interesting but can you please give me some use case where both Iroh + zenoh can be combined to achieve something more trivially (ie. without hassle) or the use-cases of this combination. I'd be curious to know more about their combined use-cases!
