-Update `nwaku` "vendor" dependencies.
+### Bumped items
+- [ ] Update nimble dependencies
+  1. Edit manually waku.nimble. For some dependencies, we want to bump versions manually and use a pinned version, f.e., nim-libp2p and all its dependencies.
+  2. Run `nimble lock` (make sure `nimble --version` shows the Nimble version pinned in waku.nimble)
+  3. Run `./tools/gen-nix-deps.sh nimble.lock nix/deps.nix` to update nix deps
