Waku

WAKU IS UNCOMPROMISING WEB3 COMMUNICATION AT SCALE A family of robust, censorship-resistant communication protocols designed to enable privacy-focused messaging for web3 apps.

Waku is powering the communication layer of the Logos technology stack. Logos is a grassroots movement, building the infrastructure for trust-minimised, corruption-resistant governing services and social institutions for peaceful people worldwide. Learn more about our ambitious vision.

Nwaku is a lightweight and robust Nim client for running a Waku node, equipped with tools to monitor and maintain a running node. Nwaku is highly configurable, enabling operators to select the protocols they want to support based on their needs, motivations, and available resources.

This guide provides detailed steps to download, build, configure, and connect a nwaku node to the Waku Network. It also includes interacting with the node and finding its addresses.

We recommend running a nwaku node with at least 2GB of RAM, especially if you have WSS enabled. If running just a Relay node, 0.5GB of RAM is sufficient.
