Waku is building a peer-to-peer (P2P) alternative to the centralised communications model omnipresent in modern digital applications. It comprises a family of open-source, modular protocols designed to deliver a decentralised, P2P communications network that preserves user privacy. Under Waku's model, users have complete control over their data and

Over the past month, the Waku team continued to deliver regular updates on several fronts, strengthening the foundations of reliable, decentralised communication.

TLDR: We have just shipped two important features to The Waku Network that offer more granularity for RLN rate-limiting and add support for stateless light clients. Introduction to The Waku Network Waku launched The Waku Network last December 2023. A first-of-its-kind decentralized network focused on privacy and censorship resistance, running

Learn more about how The Graph uses Waku to build a decentralised data querying layer for blockchains Indexing blockchain data can be challenging for projects with complex smart contracts. Managing and querying the vast data generated has become a significant challenge as the blockchain ecosystem proliferates. The inherent properties of

Learn more about how RAILGUN uses Waku to build a privacy layer on top of EVM based chains Does your Dapp need to offer private on-chain transactions? The following scenarios are examples of users that have such privacy requirements: * Donations made for humanitarian reasons: A humanitarian cross-border organisation like UNICEF

A comprehensive overview of the Waku Network. Last December we announced the Waku Network. The Waku Network is the first decentralised and privacy-preserving network that provides Denial-of-Service (DoS) protections for peer-to-peer messaging. It aims to enhance privacy and security in peer-to-peer communication by implementing innovative protocols and technologies. Let us

An overview of the need for decentralised and privacy-preserving artificial intelligence. After the recent boom in the generative artificial intelligence (AI) space, several critics have questioned the convergence of AI and web3. There is also a growing misconception that web3 does not have native use cases within the AI space.

Read in Spanish Did you know that far beyond being a mere industry buzzword, decentralised communication represents a strategic response to the vulnerabilities inherent in centralised systems? It prioritises privacy, security, and censorship resistance, making it an indispensable component in web developers' toolkits. Traditional centralised communication systems have long

In this beginner-friendly tutorial, we will be building a basic TicTacToe game that can be played by two players who are connected using Waku. What is Waku Waku is a family of robust, censorship-resistant, and privacy-preserving communication protocols designed to enable perfomant messaging for web3 apps. When I say ‘messaging’

A glance into how Waku has progressed its scaling capabilities throughout 2023 As we move forward into the last months 2023, our primary goal has been to solidify the scalability of Waku protocols, focusing on Status Communities. We have set and reached our milestone of providing a Waku network that

Device pairing and secure message exchange using Waku and noise protocol. As the world becomes increasingly connected through the internet, the need for secure and reliable communication becomes paramount. In this article it is described how the Noise protocol can be used as a key-exchange mechanism for Waku. Recently, this

Learn how the Waku Network is evolving through scaling, incentivization, and diverse ecosystem development and what the future might look like. Waku is preparing for production with a focus on the Status Communities use case. In this blog post, we will provide an overview of recent discussions and research outputs,
