"Instead of imposing costs and rules and validations at a few centralized gatekeeper points to stop spam. Instead, you push it out to the edges. You impose costs on everyone who is actually using the protocol to spend their CPU. And you know, the world of email would probably look very different today if the protocol had adopted Hashcash back in the 90s." says @lopp in https://press.logos.co/podcasts/logos-state/jameson-lopp-technology-to-empower-individuals This approach resonates with what @waku aims to achieve. A simpler design could be a p2p network of cloud nodes, with browser and mobile clients accessing the network via REST APIs. However, this wouldn't work for a private, censorship-resistant system, as seen in the past [1][2].

Time and effort have been invested in RLNv2 and req-res protocols to enable browser and mobile clients to be part of the p2p network, using decentralized peer discovery and messaging routing protocols, to ensure users can remain sovereign. We're not there yet, ongoing work focuses on ensuring Waku applications are reliable in a decentralized topology. Further work is needed to increase anonymity and resilience.
