Enable devices to communicate or report small data payloads in a decentralized manner. +This can be an interesting way for a government agency or health organization to collect data from the population to study, in a privacy preserving manner. +For example, indoor air quality sensors could be distributed to residents across a city. +The authentication for data push could be done using zk tech: zk credentials of a given device is added to a zk group for a postcode, when pushing data to Waku, zk proof is used so that agency can auth the data and assign it to the right area/postcode but individual indentification or IP harvesting cannot be done. +This can also become an open data initiative: anyone can collect the data from the Waku network for study (DeSci).
