I2P actually has a functional network, Veilid has just launched, and isn't really available to the public in a meaningful way.
Outside of the practical, I2P is built entirely in Java, Veilid is built in Rust, so potentially more performant, Veilid uses modern ciphers so is potentially more secure, Weilid is potentially easier to modify and integrate into apps, and Veilid locally encrypts its storage, I2P does not.
So, realistically, it's a more modern take on I2P, designed to work on mobile, improvements are subtle, but might help create additional adoption if they can get it into people's hands.

- Aerbil313 3y agoDoes Veilid allow arbitrary networking like I2P? It's advertised as a social media data sharing network.
- kstrauser 3y agoIt does. The VeilidChat app is built on top of the general-purpose Veilid application framework. Chat apps were the first, easiest things to make on that framework, but there's nothing inherently social media (or even messaging) oriented about it.
