Awesome work and great to see the agnostic approach to the topic. Thank you for that.
Doesn’t libp2p-gossipsub provide some sender anonymity, in this case unlinkability between sender ip and specific message, see On the anonymity of Waku-Relay ?
Some reference to support the following statement would be great please:
libp2p protocols do not inherently protect sender identities.
My understanding is that while libp2p-gossipsub protocol does provide some sender anonymity when StrictNoSign is applied, it is not enough enough to protect specific actors in a system where their network have a predictable pattern.
