## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This are autogenerated, if you are looking for a proper Rust API version check on [`waku-bindings`](https://crates.io/crates/waku-bindings)
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

## About [Waku](https://waku.org/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Waku is the communication layer for Web3. Decentralized communication that scales.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Private. Secure. Runs anywhere.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### What is Waku?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Waku is a suite of privacy-preserving, peer-to-peer messaging protocols.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Waku removes centralized third parties from messaging, enabling private, secure, censorship-free communication with no single point of failure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Waku provides privacy-preserving capabilities, such as sender anonymity,metadata protection and unlinkability to personally identifiable information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Waku is designed for generalized messaging, enabling human-to-human, machine-to-machine or hybrid communication.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Waku runs everywhere: desktop, server, including resource-restricted devices, such as mobile devices and browsers.
|
||
|
|
How does it work?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first version of Waku had its origins in the Whisper protocol, with optimizations for scalability and usability. Waku v2 is a complete rewrite. Its relay protocol implements pub/sub over libp2p, and also introduces additional capabilities:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Retrieving historical messages for mostly-offline devices.
|
||
|
|
2. Adaptive nodes, allowing for heterogeneous nodes to contribute.
|
||
|
|
3. Bandwidth preservation for light nodes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This makes it ideal for running a p2p protocol on mobile, or in other similarly resource-restricted environments.
