Getting Started
Waku has risks and limitations as it is still developing and preparing for extensive adoption. However, it is already demonstrating its capabilities by powering various applications. Join our community to stay updated on our progress.
Ready to integrate Waku into your application for private, secure, censorship-free communication? Explore the available SDKs and contribute by running a node.
