Decentralized communication that scales. + +Private. Secure. Runs anywhere. + +### What is Waku? + +Waku is a suite of privacy-preserving, peer-to-peer messaging protocols. + +Waku removes centralized third parties from messaging, enabling private, secure, censorship-free communication with no single point of failure. + +Waku provides privacy-preserving capabilities, such as sender anonymity,metadata protection and unlinkability to personally identifiable information. + +Waku is designed for generalized messaging, enabling human-to-human, machine-to-machine or hybrid communication. + +Waku runs everywhere: desktop, server, including resource-restricted devices, such as mobile devices and browsers. +How does it work? + +The first version of Waku had its origins in the Whisper protocol, with optimizations for scalability and usability. Waku v2 is a complete rewrite. Its relay protocol implements pub/sub over libp2p, and also introduces additional capabilities: + +1. Retrieving historical messages for mostly-offline devices. +2. Adaptive nodes, allowing for heterogeneous nodes to contribute. +3. Bandwidth preservation for light nodes. + +This makes it ideal for running a p2p protocol on mobile, or in other similarly resource-restricted environments. + + + +Read the [Waku docs](https://docs.wakuconnect.dev/) \ No newline at end of file
