| Waku protocols are designed in such a way that resource-limited devices can make up for their lack of resources by relying on the more powerful peers in the network. | ||
| This can be seen at all the layers of the Waku protocol stack. | ||
| One of which is the Waku relay protocol in which peers voluntarily join the routing layer of Waku and aid message propagation. |

I think this sentence may need rewording to be clearer. Below is just a suggestion, so feel free to discard :)

| Some peers may have altruistic reasons for contributing or are stakeholders in some higher-level application requiring reliable infrastructure to deliver a high-quality service. |

| However, this cannot be generalized to all peers hence peers need to be incentivized for their participation and contribution in the network regardless of being tied to any specific application, or necessarily having altruistic wills. |

| One of the most challenging protocols of Waku for incentivization is the Waku Relay protocol. |

| Waku provides a suite of modular p2p protocols to enable the realization of web2 applications in the decentralized web3 world in the form of DApps. | ||
| Waku protocol stack features all the necessary components for the DApp developers namely, the networking/routing layer, and multiple discovery methods. | ||
| It also provides various request-reply protocols to allow resource provisioning for resource-limited devices. |

| It means that literally any famous web2 services e.g., email, social networking, and e-voting systems, for which typically a large and powerful infrastructure is needed, can now be translated to their corresponding decentralized and p2p and privacy-preserving version by relying on the Waku. |

| Here, Waku allows individual peers with limited capacities to accumulate their resources to form the required infrastructure for the intended service. | ||
| One of the greatest products built on top of Waku is the decentralized messaging application of [Status](status.im). | ||
| However, we believe that the usage of Waku is not limited to messaging applications, and in this research problem, we would like to encourage researchers and developers to design and build other decentralized systems on top of Waku. | ||
| Below is just a sample list of use cases, but we strongly recommend getting creative and building what it means the most to you and your community |

Thanks! Make sure these gets added to master branch, right now it is just in staging |
