# The go-waku guide for operators
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*If you're eager to get started, check out our [quickstart guide](./quickstart.md).*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
go-waku is a client implementation in Go of the [Waku v2 family of protocols](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/10/) for peer-to-peer communication.
|
||
|
|
The protocols are designed to be secure, privacy-preserving, censorship-resistant and able to run in resource restricted environments.
|
||
|
|
Moreover, we've taken a modular approach so that node operators can choose which protocols they want to support
|
||
|
|
based on their own motivations and availability of resources.
|
||
|
|
We call this concept ["adaptive nodes"](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/30/),
|
||
|
|
implying that a Waku v2 network can consist of heterogeneous nodes contributing at different levels to the network.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This guide provides step-by-step tutorials covering how to build and configure your own go-waku node,
|
||
|
|
connect to an existing Waku v2 network
|
||
|
|
and use existing tools for monitoring and maintaining a running node.
