title: "Bluetooth (BLE)"
---

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) transport support is not yet available. We plan to
work with the community to implement it. If you're interested in contributing,
reach out on [Discord](https://www.iroh.computer/discord).
Bluetooth support is powered by [blew](https://github.com/mcginty/blew), an open source BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) Rust library focused on enabling peer-to-peer applications.

<Warning>
blew is in alpha state and is subject to change without backwards-compatibility until otherwise noted.
</Warning>

blew implements both Central and Peripheral modes, with support for macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux. It is async-only and requires a Tokio runtime.

blew is open source under the [AGPL license](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.en.html). Commercial licenses are available for use cases where the AGPL is not suitable. Contact the [number0 team](https://cal.com/team/number-0/iroh-services?overlayCalendar=true) or [me@jakebot.org](mailto:me@jakebot.org) for details.

## Custom transport API

The custom transport API lets anyone implement new transports by implementing a set of traits for low-level packet sending and receiving. Each transport defines its own address type and serialization format.

## Usage

See [Tor](/transports/tor) and [Nym](/transports/nym) for examples of custom transport implementations today.

Custom transport support requires the `unstable-custom-transports` feature flag. The API is unstable and subject to change. See [PR #3845](https://github.com/n0-computer/iroh/pull/3845) for background.
