Abstract
<a class="anchor" href="#abstract">#</a>
</h1>
<p>This RFC describes the usage of the ENR (Ethereum Node Records) format for <a href="/specs/10">10/WAKU2</a> purposes.
The ENR format is defined in <a href="https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-778">EIP-778</a> <a href="#references">[3]</a>.</p>
<p>This RFC is an extension of EIP-778, ENR used in Waku v2 MUST adhere to both EIP-778 and 31/WAKU2-ENR.</p>
<h1 id="motivation">
Motivation
<a class="anchor" href="#motivation">#</a>
</h1>
<p>EIP-1459 with the usage of ENR has been implemented <a href="#references">[1]</a> <a href="#references">[2]</a> as a discovery protocol for Waku v2.</p>
<p>EIP-778 specifies a number of pre-defined keys.
However, the usage of these keys alone does not allow for certain transport capabilities to be encoded,
such as Websocket.
Currently, Waku v2 nodes running in a Browser only support websocket transport protocol.
Hence, new ENR keys need to be defined to allow for the encoding of transport protocol other than raw TCP.</p>
<h2 id="usage-of-multiaddr-format-rationale">
Usage of Multiaddr Format Rationale
<a class="anchor" href="#usage-of-multiaddr-format-rationale">#</a>
</h2>
<p>One solution would be to define new keys such as <code>ws</code> to encode the websocket port of a node.
However, we expect new transport protocols to be added overtime such as quic.
Hence, this would only provide a short term solution until another RFC would need to be added.</p>
<p>Moreover, secure websocket involves SSL certificates.
SSL certificates are only valid for a given domain and ip, so an ENR containing the following information:</p>
<ul>
<li>secure websocket port</li>
<li>ipv4 fqdn</li>
<li>ipv4 address</li>
<li>ipv6 address</li>
</ul>
<p>Would carry some ambiguity: Is the certificate securing the websocket port valid for the ipv4 fqdn?
the ipv4 address?
the ipv6 address?</p>
<p>The <a href="/specs/10">10/WAKU2</a> protocol family is built on the <a href="https://github.com/libp2p/specs">libp2p</a> protocol stack.
Hence, it uses <a href="https://github.com/multiformats/multiaddr">multiaddr</a> to format network addresses.</p>
<p>Directly storing one or several multiaddresses in the ENR would fix the issues listed above:</p>
<ul>
<li>multiaddr is self-describing and support addresses for any network protocol:
No new RFC would be needed to support encoding other transport protocols in an ENR.</li>
<li>multiaddr contains both the host and port information, allowing the ambiguity previously described to be resolved.</li>
</ul>
<h1 id="multiaddrs-enr-key">
<code>multiaddrs</code> ENR key
<a class="anchor" href="#multiaddrs-enr-key">#</a>
</h1>
<p>We define a <code>multiaddrs</code> key.</p>
<ul>
<li>The value MUST be a list of binary encoded multiaddr prefixed by their size.</li>
<li>The size of the multiaddr MUST be encoded in a Big Endian unsigned 16-bit integer.</li>
<li>The size of the multiaddr MUST be encoded in 2 bytes.</li>
<li>The <code>secp256k1</code> value MUST be present on the record;
<code>secp256k1</code> is defined in <a href="https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-778">EIP-778</a> and contains the compressed secp256k1 public key.</li>
<li>The node&rsquo;s peer id SHOULD be deduced from the <code>secp256k1</code> value.</li>
<li>The multiaddresses SHOULD NOT contain a peer id.</li>
<li>For raw TCP &amp; UDP connections details, <a href="https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-778">EIP-778</a> pre-defined keys SHOULD be used;
The keys <code>tcp</code>, <code>udp</code>, <code>ip</code> (and <code>tcp6</code>, <code>udp6</code>, <code>ip6</code> for IPv6) are enough to convey all necessary information;</li>
<li>To save space, <code>multiaddrs</code> key SHOULD only be used for connection details that cannot be represented using the <a href="https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-778">EIP-778</a> pre-defined keys.</li>
<li>The 300 bytes size limit as defined by <a href="https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-778">EIP-778</a> still applies;
In practice, it is possible to encode 3 multiaddresses in ENR, more or less could be encoded depending on the size of each multiaddress.</li>

<li>Waku v2 nodes that discovered other participants using Discovery v5,
MUST filter out participant records that do not implement this field or do not have at least one flag set to <code>true</code>.</li>
