Role overview
We are building Waku (Waku.org) as a public good infrastructure. Waku is the messaging layer of Web3.
It is a decentralized, censorship-resistant, privacy-preserving communication network that enables anyone to send and receive messages without worrying about surveillance or deplatforming.
We are developing 3 open source implementations of Waku:
What you'll work on
- Nwaku.https://github.com/waku-org/nwaku: the reference implementation and service node
- Js-waku,https://github.com/waku-org/js-waku: for the browser
- Go-waku:https://github.com/waku-org/go-waku: to integrate as a library in native applications
What we're looking for
- Research and develop open P2P protocols for secure messaging.
- Research efficient, scaling solutions for P2P communications.
- Build incentivized, distributed systems.
- Use a layered protocol approach that is mindful and explicit about what it requires, what it provides, under what threat models, and with what trade-offs.
- Combine cryptoeconomics and traditional technologies to create a sustainable, scalable, distributed, and fault-tolerant system.
- Use libp2p to build application-level protocols.
- Interpret and implement solutions based on academic research.
- Provide feedback on overall design decisions, and participate in code reviews.
- Write Nim code.
