Waku Launches Scalable, Private Peer-to-Peer Network Supporting 80,000 Daily Active Users
-
Waku launched decentralized, privacy-preserving denial-of-service (DoS) protections for peer-to-peer messaging in its MVP release. This paves the way for supporting 1 million Waku Network users.
-
The Waku Network introduces innovations like message rate-limiting and sharding to provide DoS protections and scale peer-to-peer communications while preserving privacy.
-
At launch, the Waku Network can support up to 80,000 daily active users across 8 shards. Modeling shows each shard can support 10,000 active users with reasonable bandwidth requirements.
-
The Waku protocols are blockchain-agnostic and can be implemented in any Web3 or Web2 app. They are already in use by Status, Railgun, and The Graph.
-
The Waku Network launch was celebrated at ETHIndia, where Waku has $10,000 in bounties available during the Dec. 8-10 hackathon.
