Once HDK is ready it’ll be a lot easier for you to use it without as much manual setup. It offers noise as well! https://github.com/HORNET-Storage/HDK-Nostr-Go

We aren’t building HDK for iOS yet (maybe one day if we’re lucky).
Not sure what the best approach would be for libp2p in Damus. I found this swift version of libp2p, but it doesn’t have QUIC support yet (it’s on their to-do list):
was gonna try https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p in notedeck as an experiment
nice that definitely has QUIC support!
At least they have noise for iOS: https://github.com/swift-libp2p/swift-libp2p-noise
