Improving asynchronous execution in GNUnet

This project concerns foundational improvements to GNUnet, a Free Software framework for building secure, decentralised and privacy-preserving applications. Rather than adding a new end-user feature to this GNU project, this effort will focus on strengthening shared core components that affect how efficiently GNUnet operates in practice. The aim is to modernise parts of the system’s internal execution model so that GNUnet can remain more responsive under load, make better use of available resources, and provide a stronger technical foundation for future development. In practical terms, the project will improve how core GNUnet components coordinate work, exchange information and interact with supporting services, especially in configurations where multiple subsystems run closely together. The expected results include higher overall performance, lower battery consumption on mobile devices, and a more responsive user experience across higher-level services and applications built on top of these core components.
