At a high level, peers utilize a scoring function to locally score the behavior of their connections and remove peers with a low score.
`11/WAKU2-RELAY` aims at enabling an advanced spam protection mechanism with economic disincentives by utilizing Rate Limiting Nullifiers.
In a nutshell, peers must conform to a certain message publishing rate per a system-defined epoch, otherwise, they get financially penalized for exceeding the rate.
More details on this new technique can be found in [`17/WAKU-RLN`](/spec/17).

## WakuMessage
`rate_limit_proof` holds the information required to prove that the message owner has not exceeded the message rate limit.
## RateLimitProof
The `proof` field is an array of 256 bytes and carries the zkSNARK proof as explained in the [Publishing process](##Publishing).
The proof asserts that:
1. The message publisher is the current member of the group i.e., her/his identity commitment key is part of the membership group Merkle tree with the root `merkleRoot`.
2. `share_x` and `share_y` are correctly computed.
3. The `nullifier` is constructed correctly.
Other fields of the `RateLimitProof` message are the public inputs to the rln circuit and used for the generation of the `proof`.
The `merkleRoot` is an array of 32 bytes which holds the root of membership group Merkle tree at the time of publishing the message.
The `epoch` is an array of 32 bytes that represents the epoch in which the message is published.
<!-- TODO epoch is going to change to a different type -->
`share_x` and `share_y` are shares of the user's identity key.
These shares are created using [Shamir secret sharing scheme](##Publishing).
`share_x` is an array of 32 bytes and contains the hash of the `WakuMessage`'s `payload` concatenated with its `contentTopic`.
<!-- TODO hash other fields if necessary-->
`share_y` is also an array of 32 bytes which is calculated using [Shamir secret sharing scheme](##Publishing).
The `nullifier` is an internal nullifier which allows specifying whether two messages are published by the same publisher during the same `epoch`.
It is an array of 32 bytes.
<!-- TODO to reflect this change on WakuMessage spec once the PR gets mature -->
