No it doesn't.
The messaging is run on a decentralized network that uses the Waku protocol.
Currently the clients (mobile and desktop) use Waku v1: https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/6/ https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/6/
But work to transition to Waku v2 is underway: https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/10/ https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/10/
- ubercow13 6y agoYes but isn't the Waku v1 protocol running on ÐΞVp2p, which uses the Ethereum network? The protocol is Waku, but as far as I understand the 'decentralized network' is the Ethereum network?
- chrisco255 6y agoHere's the specs: https://specs.status.im/spec/10 https://specs.status.im/spec/10 That's correct. It uses Waku for routing and messaging, but the Waku nodes are Ethereum nodes with Waku v1 enabled. Here's more from VAC, the org behind Waku and their plans for v2: https://vac.dev/waku-v2-ethereum-messaging https://vac.dev/waku-v2-ethereum-messaging
