--- title: Worldwide Software Architecture Summit description: Uncompromising Web3 Communication at Scale hide_table_of_contents: true hide_title: true og:image_subtitle: Events --- import { Box, EventBanner, EventInfo, EventAbout, EventProfileList, EventCTA, InputCTASection, EventHeader, Grid, } from '@site/src/components/mdx' Waku is a suite of generalised messaging protocols aiming to be the communication standard for the decentralised web. It enables private and secure human-to-human, machine-to-machine, and human-to-machine communication without reliance on centralised intermediaries. Messaging through Waku is possible from one-to-one to many-to-many.
Waku serves as the communications layer of the Logos tech stack. Alongside the trustless agreement layer, Nomos, and the storage layer, Codex, it is one of the Logos Collective's foundational projects.
Motive: Today's internet is increasingly controlled by a small number of tech giants. Google, Amazon, Meta, and a few others dictate what we see and with whom we can communicate. Their influence is almost limitless, and their actions shape global public opinion and even geopolitics.
To anyone that understands the internet's present architecture, this outcome should be expected. The centralised entities through which we communicate have privileged access to reams of data that we, as internet users, produce daily, presenting an opportunity for the kind of surveillance that was once confined to the pages of science-fiction literature. Thinking that the most powerful commercial and political institutions would not leverage this would be naive.
Yet, it doesn't have to be this way. Advances in cryptography, peer-to-peer networking, and decentralised technologies provide an alternate path forward.

Tune in to listen to Václav’s talk at 13:35 UTC on Tuesday, May 07th!

Topic: “DePIN: Decentralized Infrastructure explained”


Kubernetes and containers took cloud infrastructure by storm and became defacto standard for deploying services and applications. We are seeing similar movement in web3 - it is called DePIN - Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks. In essence, a peer-to-peer and blockchain based decentralized distributed cloud infra. Various kinds of these networks come to live - general compute, AI/GPU focused, storage and more. Let's take a look at what it really is, how does it work, go over interesting projects and think about what the future might hold.
