-* nwaku node running relay and store protocols with RLN enabled.
-* Simple frontend to interact with your node and the network, to publish and receive messages.
-* Grafana dashboard for advanced users or node operators.
-* Requires `docker-compose` and `git`.
+Ready‑to‑use **docker‑compose** stack for running your own [nwaku](https://github.com/waku-org/nwaku) full node:

-* Linea Sepolia account with some balance <0.01 Eth.
-* You can get some Linea Sepolia [here](https://www.infura.io/faucet/sepolia)

-`docker-compose` [will read the `./.env` file](https://docs.docker.com/compose/environment-variables/set-environment-variables/#additional-information-3) from the filesystem. There is `.env.example` available for you as a template to use for providing the above values. The process when working with `.env` files is to copy the `.env.example`, store it as `.env` and edit the values there.

+|---|------|--------------------|--------------|
+| **1** | **rln.waku.org** | Guided web setup | Register RLN in the browser, download `keystore.json`, then return here to proceed |
+| **2** | **setup_wizard** | Fastest one-command bootstrap | Generates `.env`, registers RLN, and spins up the whole stack automatically |
+| **3** | **Manual script** | Power users / CI | Mint & approve tokens yourself, then run the script for maximum control |
