: Direct peer connectivity is achieved using a hole-punching algorithm that can bypass firewalls and NAT restrictions without needing a central server.

: A native P2P-capable platform that includes a runtime binary, an API, and an application shell to provide the framework for developing production P2P applications.

: The platform includes a command-line interface (CLI) and an on-demand daemon to streamline the development process.

Pear provides a comprehensive toolset for decentralized application lifecycles:

: The runtime is built on Bare , a modular and asynchronous JavaScript runtime for desktop and mobile, similar to Node.js but optimized for P2P.
