The go-waku guide for operators

If you're eager to get started, check out our quickstart guide.

go-waku is a client implementation in Go of the Waku v2 family of protocols 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", 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.
