| How does it work? |
The backbone of Waku Network is the Waku Relay protocol. It is a pubsub protocol based on libp2p gossipsub. Other Waku protocols have been defined to enable capabilities such as:
- retrieving historical messages for mostly-offline devices
- key turn solution for encrypted communication (symmetric encryption, ECIES/asymmetric encryption, noise handshake).
- preserving bandwidth usage for resource-restricted devices
- Economic spam protection (rate limit) with privacy preserving capabilities
- Mass deanonymization protection (research in progress)
If you want to learn how Waku works under the hoods, check out the 10/WAKU2 RFC.
