Dear Tor Project team, anti-censorship-team and other community contributors

I have developed recently a new library which is called **rust-pt** ​. It is a Rust-based framework for Tor Pluggable Transports.

I anticipate everyone knows rust, it’s a modern, powerful, fast and safe programming language. And Pt requires performance and safety. That’s why, Rust would be an important language for Pt developing.

Now I have developed the rust-pt for 3 month, ExtOrPort ConfigParsing, Errors, Macros and Log system is ready. Of course, I’m still actively developing.

The code is already published in:

> **[pryty26 / rust-pt · GitLab](https://gitlab.torproject.org/pryty26/rust-pt)**
>
> A Rust-based framework for Tor Pluggable Transports. So far, it's not a very polished project and this is not meant to make any money. But watch this space!...

> **[GitHub - pryty26/rust-pt](https://github.com/pryty26/rust-pt)**
>
> Contribute to pryty26/rust-pt development by creating an account on GitHub.

and

> **[rust-pt](https://codeberg.org/pryty26/rust-pt)**
>
> rust-pt

I believe that both community and Tor team, would like to have a Rust-Based Pt library.

But currently, there is not a official Pt library for Rust. And most of the community framework, is not well maintained.

(ptrs last update is on 2024 and ptrs-gesher is relay to the LLM)

I was already raised that in the Anti-censorship meating:

> [@\[tor-project\] Anti-censorship team meeting notes, 2026-09-17](https://forum.torproject.org/t/tor-project-anti-censorship-team-meeting-notes-2026-09-17/22147):
>
> Hey everyone! Here are our meeting logs: And our meeting pad: Anti-censorship play_button ···

If there is any possible, I would like to kindly assign all code ownership to the team.

Of course, anyone interested in helping with development is more than welcome.
