This guide provides detailed steps to bootstrap your your node using [Static Peers](/learn/concepts/static-peers) and discover peers in the Waku Network using [DNS Discovery](/learn/concepts/dns-discovery).
:::info
If you do not set up a bootstrap node or discovery mechanism, your node will not connect to any remote peer.

:::tip
Until [node incentivisation](/learn/research#prevention-of-denial-of-service-dos-and-node-incentivisation) is in place, you should [operate extra nodes](/#run-a-waku-node) alongside the ones provided by the Waku Network. When running a node, we recommend using the [DNS Discovery and Static Peers](#configure-dns-discovery-and-static-peers) configuration to connect to both the Waku Network and your node.

## Retrieving connected peers
You can retrieve the array of peers connected to a node using the `libp2p.getPeers()` function within the `@waku/sdk` package:
```js
import { createLightNode, waitForRemotePeer } from "@waku/sdk";
const node = await createLightNode({ defaultBootstrap: true });
await waitForRemotePeer(node);
// Retrieve array of peers connected to the node
console.log(node.libp2p.getPeers());
```
