+
+# Use Cases
+
+Waku is a generalized communication network.
+It can enable numerous use cases, both person-to-person (e.g. messenger) and machine-to-machine (e.g. state channels).
+
+This is a non-exhaustive list of use cases that we have considered and their current status.
+
+If we are aware of other projects using js-waku and other use cases that could be implemented,
+feel free to open a [PR](https://github.com/vacp2p/docs.dappconnect.dev).
+
+Legend:
+- _Live_: We are aware of projects who have implemented this use case.
+- _SDK Available_: An SDK is available to easily implement this use case.
+- _Work In Progress_: We are aware of projects working to implement this use case.
+- _Proof of Concept_: A Proof of concept was created, sometimes as part of a hackathon.
+- _Idea_: This is an unexplored use case, more research and work may be needed.

+## Chat Messenger
+
+| _Work In Progress_ |
+|--------------------|
+
+Waku can be used as the communication layer to a private, decentralized, censorship-resistant messenger.

+## State Channels
+
+| _Idea_ |
+|--------|
+
+Use Waku to enable two parties to setup and maintain a state channel.

+## Voting and Proposals
+
+| _SDK Available_ |
+|-----------------|
+
+For proposals submitted on the blockchain,
+exchange votes over Waku to save gas.
+Votes can then be aggregated and submitted to the blockchain to commit the result.

+## Signature Exchange for Multi-Sig Wallets
+
+| _Idea_ |
+|--------|
+
+Use Waku to enable several owners of a given multi-sig wallets to exchange signatures in a decentralized,
+private & censorship-resistant manner to approve transactions.

+
+## Gameplay Communication
+
+| _Proof of Concept_ |
+|--------------------|
+
+Use Waku as the communication layer for a peer-to-peer, decentralize game.
+Remove the need of a centralized infrastructure for gameplay communications.

+
+## dApp to Wallet Notifications
+
+| _Idea_ |
+|--------|
+
+Enable dApp operators and users to send notification directly in user's wallet by integration Waku in both dApps and Wallets.
+This could be used to notify governance token holder of an incoming proposal or other in-dApp events.
+
+<--->
+
+## Layer 2 Communication
+
+| _Idea_ |
+|--------|
+
+Use Waku as an existing communication network to broadcast and aggregate layer 2 transactions.
+Possibly increasing privacy, anonymity and resilience.

+
+## Social Media Platform
+
+| _Idea_ |
+|--------|
+
+[Chat Messenger](#chat-messenger) is one form of social media that can be empowered by Waku to be decentralized
+and censorship-resistant.
+Other form of social media: news feed, blogposts, audio or video sharing, can also benefit of Waku.
