A node key is a [Secp256k1](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Secp256k1) (64-char hex string) private key for generating the [PeerID](#peer-id), [listening](#transport) addresses, and [discovery](#peer-discovery) addresses of a Waku node.
### Out-of-band
Out-of-band refers to exchanging information through a separate, secure channel distinct from the main communication method to enhance security.
### Payload
The payload field in a [Waku Message](#waku-message) contains the application data, serving as the business logic message transmitted between clients over Waku. Applications can encrypt the payload or employ encryption methods specified in [Waku Message Payload Encryption](#waku-message-payload-encryption).

The public Waku Network replaces the previous experimental shared routing layer based on a default pubsub topic (`/waku/2/default-waku/proto`).

The Waku Network is a shared p2p messaging network that is open-access, useful for generalized messaging, privacy-preserving, scalable and accessible even to resource-restricted devices. Some of the most prominent features include:

## Why join the Waku network?
1. Applications or projects can build decentralized communication components on this network, gaining from the fault-tolerance of shared infrastructure, the out-of-the-box censorship resistance of a p2p network and the privacy-preservation of Waku protocols.
