+### Description
+
+* follow up of [[vac/acz/secure-channels/waku/mls-design|mls-design]]
+
+While MLS, an established protocol, allows us to quicker release a secure key setup protocol with an Ethereum authenticator,
+MLS is federated in nature and makes reliability assumptions in regards to the underlying message dissemination layer.
+We work towards mitigating this using on-chain components in the planned deliverables for the milestone linked above.
+
+However, we still desire a fully decentralized version that ideally does not require an on-chain component.
+This Milestone tracks this effort.
