[ducksandgoats]

Version: helia: 5.2.0/@libp2p/kad-dht 14.2.0
Platform: both linux and windows 64-bit
Subsystem: helia/libp2p/pubsub/kad-dht

Severity: Critical/High

what i did:
my repo https://github.com/HybridWare/hybrid-browser, use npm install and install all dependencies, and then use npm run start to start the electron app

what happened:
it crashes and the stack trace shows the issue is with libp2p

what i expected:
start the electron app as it should, but instead it crashes and libp2p seems to be the issue

i disabled ipfs/libp2p in my app and now my app works. below is the stack trace for the error that crashes ipfs/libp2p.
