# Waku for the Web # Background
We are building Waku to be the communication layer for Web3: We have built Waku to be a communication layer for Web3. Waku is a collection of protocols to chose from for your

It is designed to run on any device, from mobile to the cloud.
This involves research efforts in various domains:
conversational security, protocol incentivization, zero-knowledge, anonymity to name a few.
To ensure we reach our goals, we knew that early dogfooding of Waku was necessary, even if research was still _in progress_ [[1]](#footnote1). <!-- TODO: more about Waku Readiness -->
Thus, we started to push for the adoption of Waku by projects other than the Status app starting 2021.
Waku is the communication component of the Web3 trifecta, This involves research efforts in various domains: conversational security, protocol incentivization, zero-knowledge,
