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
