title: Static Peers
hide_table_of_contents: true
---
Waku applications have the flexibility to embed bootstrap node addresses directly into their codebase. Developers can either use static peers operated by Status or [run a node](/#run-a-waku-node).
#### Pros
- Low latency.
- Low resource requirements.
#### Cons
- Vulnerable to censorship: Node IPs can be blocked or restricted.
- Limited scalability: The number of nodes is fixed and cannot easily be expanded.
- Maintenance challenges: Updating the node list requires modifying the code, which can be cumbersome and involves releasing and deploying.
## Overview
```mdx-code-block
import StaticPeers from "@site/diagrams/_static-peers.md";
<StaticPeers />
```
