title: Predefined Nodes
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Waku applications have the flexibility to embed bootstrap node addresses directly into their codebase. Developers can opt to use either the [predefined nodes by Status](https://github.com/waku-org/js-waku/blob/master/packages/core/src/lib/predefined_bootstrap_nodes.ts#L45) or [run a node](/guides/nodes-and-sdks#run-a-waku-node) per their preference.

#### 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. |
