It is a key part of the implementation of Holochain (https://holo.host).

It turns out that global consensus is not required to maintain accounting balance in a global-scale ledger. DHTs and their validation of the data they host is a big part of maintaining the invariant of the system.

I have been excited about this project for quite some time. They recently released their Rust client, although without networking. I cannot wait to play with it further as it holds the most promise amongst all "Web3" decentalized platforms.
