2013
The introduction of the Ethereum White Paper marked the unveiling of the Holy Trinity, which comprises Ethereum for consensus, Swarm for decentralized storage, and Whisper for peer-to-peer messaging.
2015-2018
The development of the Whisper protocol lagged behind the advancements made by the Ethereum EVM and Swarm, primarily because there was no dedicated team working on building the protocol.
2018
Due to the lack of progress made on Whisper and growing concerns around scalability, Vac was established to focus on researching and developing more scalable peer-to-peer messaging solutions.
2020
Status introduced Waku v1 as its messaging protocol, which replaced Whisper.
2021
Waku v2 supersedes Waku v1.
