An async-friendly WebRTC implementation in Rust, inspired by and largely rewriting the Pion stack. It is built on a Sans-I/O core with pluggable runtime backends (Tokio and smol included), providing a full ecosystem from low-level RTC protocols to SFU infrastructure.

Use cases

• build a peer-to-peer video or audio calling app in Rust
• implement a WebRTC SFU media server
• add real-time data channels to a Rust backend
• replace Pion with a Rust-native WebRTC stack
• build a custom signaling and ICE/STUN/TURN pipeline
• stream media over RTP/RTCP with a type-safe Rust library

When to choose

• you need WebRTC in a Rust project with async/await and runtime flexibility
• you want a Sans-I/O architecture that is easy to test and port
• you need the full stack from ICE/DTLS to RTP and SFU in one ecosystem
• you value memory safety and zero-cost abstractions for real-time media

When to avoid

• you need a batteries-included browser-side WebRTC API
• your project is not in Rust
• you need a turnkey hosted video service rather than a protocol library
• you depend on the very latest WebRTC spec features that mature C/C++ stacks ship first
