New RFC: 39/WAKU2-CAPABILITY-DISCOVERY

Open kaiserd opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

This issue is part of the Waku ambient discovery roadmap (new roadmap issue to be opened in the research repo; will edit/update this description once the roadmap issue is open) and tracks the editing of a new RFC specifying a Waku capability discovery protocol.

Background

In its first version, it will simply be libp2p identify with restrictions on specific fields. Having a separate Waku specification makes sense because

  • the Vac RFC set should comprehensively specify Waku. Capability should not (implicitly) be delegated to an external spec.
  • it allows to expand the protocol in the future, which we plan to do.
