Is that considered a new thing? I don't think I've ever encountered a P2P service/protocol that also masks IP addresses.
They state they take inspiration from Tor and IPFS, so there are added transport layers below the top layer "P2P" that obfuscates ones IP address. It's nothing new really, and I'm honestly not sure what the advantages are over something like I2P, which largely doesn't suffer from Tor's issues of node ownership as there are no guard or exit nodes to own (unless expressly configured), while also being faster overall.
Idk what it means because for networks to work you need an ip address to send the data to your device.
They just had to add i2p transport to ipfs, could be done in 200 LoC
