Ready to integrate Waku into your application for private, secure, censorship-free communication? Explore the available SDKs and contribute by operating a node.

## Operate a Waku Node

The Waku network is permissionless and decentralized, consisting of nodes. It is open for anyone to run a node, use the network, and contribute to its support. Please visit the [nwaku guide](https://github.com/waku-org/nwaku/tree/master/docs/operators) (recommended) or [go-waku guide](https://github.com/waku-org/go-waku/tree/master/docs/operators) for operators to learn more.
