# Vac copy

Goal: update vac.dev website copy to reflect

## Name

Vac or Vac Research (depending on context)

## Tagline

**Vac: Communication, Privacy, etc.**

COLD SCRIPT

(lowercase form: vac - communication and privacy, etc)

## First three sentences on the website

Vac **builds** [public good]() protocols for the decentralized web.

We do research, basically. Protocols, libraries and publications. Custodians of protocols that reflect [a set of principles]().

We do applied research based on which we build protocols, libraries and publications. Custodians of protocols that reflect [a set of principles]() - liberty, privacy, etc.

## Our Principles

Liberty, censorship resistance, security, privacy, transparency, openness, decentralization, inclusivity, continuance, resourcefulness.

## Projects
**Secure Messaging.** We design modular, p2p protocols for private, anonymous, secure and censorship-resistant communications. The main focus is [Waku](https://waku.org), the communication layer for Web3.

**zk-WASM.** Research into making private and provable computation using WASM that is verified using zero-knowledge proofs.

**RFCs.** We build specifications for self-sustainable robust protocols with strong and modular privacy guarantees. [Rough consensus and running code]().

**Applied ZK/Explorations.** We build tools to enable privacy-enhanced computations using cutting-edge zero-knowledge proof systems.

## Backup

(Current)

Our research focuses on privacy, security and censorship-resistance. Vac protocols are modular and can be adapted to work in resource-restricted environments. Vac is the custodian of agnostic protocol specifications that reflect [a set of principles](). Their implementations are built and operated entirely by the open-source community.

(Ideas)

Vac is / does:
- (Define first what we are, and later focus only on what we do) We are a research group with focus on privacy, security and censorhip-resistance (technologies)
- **Research** on privacy, security and censorship-resistance
- Vac RFCs are modular protocols that can run anywhere (resource restricted environments)
- Vac ... Custodian of agnostic protocol specifications that reflect [a set of principles]()
- Builds ... Open source code and specs

- Protocols, libraries, and publications
We are designing protocols and developing code Building blocks

- reference implementation
