## Run a Node
|
|
|
|
The Waku network is permissionless and decentralized, consisting of nodes. It is open for anyone to run their node, use the network, and contribute to its support. Please visit the [nwaku guide for operators](https://github.com/waku-org/nwaku/tree/master/docs/operators) to learn more.

|
|
By integrating Waku into your application, you can contribute by:
|
|
|
|
- Running a Waku node within your application.
|
|
- Reporting bugs and suggesting missing features to the development team.
|
|
- Inspiring other developers to explore and utilize Waku for [various use cases](/overview/use-cases).
