The MVP release of the Waku Network provides first-of-its-kind denial-of-service (DoS) protections that do not compromise privacy or censorship resistance. This release paves the way for supporting one million users on the Waku Network.
The team behind Waku, a leading privacy-first peer-to-peer communications protocol, announced that the open-source Waku Network MVP is now ready to be trialed with real users in Web3 apps. The MVP is estimated to support up to 80,000.?
Comparatively, the largest number of daily users on a peer-to-peer network was around 150,000 (BitTorrent in 2008). The Waku Network is set to scale beyond this, with all peers participating in a shared routing layer and a focus on preserving user privacy.?
