In 2021, we started to push for the adoption of Waku by projects other than the Status app.

Waku is the communication component of the Web3 trifecta,

which originally was Ethereum (contracts), Swarm (storage) and Whisper (communication).

Hence, it made sense to first target dApps which already uses one of the Web3 pillar: Ethereum.

We have recently concluded our [first operator trial run](https://github.com/status-im/nwaku/issues/828).

Nwaku's documentation, stability and performance has improved,
