Waku

Protocolo P2P

A set of libp2p-based protocols for private, censorship-resistant peer-to-peer messaging, with specifications published in the Logos LIPs repository and a Nim reference implementation. The implementation, long known as nwaku, now lives in the logos-messaging GitHub organisation as 'Logos Delivery' and exposes a C library, a command-line node and examples; the older waku.org address redirects to the Logos site, and the documentation still calls the protocol Waku. Nodes join the network through bootstrap nodes and the protocols cover relay, discovery and message delivery. The cited sources do not describe the full protocol set .
