Description
A node should discover more peers after joining a swarm.
We should assume high churn here, so it's unclear if Kademlia is the right topology.
The libp2p implementation of Kademlia has Coral and S/Kademlia modifications, but the interface is not compatible for multiple swarms. We could assume 1 swarm per node now just to get something working. This might not be a bad assumption for the initial release.

Research direction
Start by reading the current peer-joining and discovery entry points, then compare the libp2p Kademlia, Coral, and S/Kademlia approaches mentioned in the issue. Clarify whether the initial release may assume one swarm per node and decide how high churn affects the topology. Done means a node discovers additional peers after joining a swarm with a defined multi-swarm scope.
