Find Your Node Address
When starting the node, nwaku will display all the public listening and discovery addresses at the INFO log level.
You can find the addresses of a running node through its logs or by calling the Get node info endpoint of the REST API.
Listening addresses
Look for the log entry that begins with Listening on, for example:
INF 2023-06-15 16:09:54.448+01:00 Listening on topics="waku node" tid=1623445 file=waku_node.nim:922 full=[/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/60000/p2p/16Uiu2HAmQCsH9V81xoqTwGuT3qwkZWbwY1TtTQwpr3DjHU2TSwMn][/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/8000/ws/p2p/16Uiu2HAmQCsH9V81xoqTwGuT3qwkZWbwY1TtTQwpr3DjHU2TSwMn]
# Listening TCP transport address
/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/60000/p2p/16Uiu2HAmQCsH9V81xoqTwGuT3qwkZWbwY1TtTQwpr3DjHU2TSwMn
# Listening WebSocket address
/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/8000/ws/p2p/16Uiu2HAmQCsH9V81xoqTwGuT3qwkZWbwY1TtTQwpr3DjHU2TSwMn
Discoverable ENR addresses
A nwaku node can encode its addressing information in an Ethereum Node Record (ENR).
ENR for DNS discovery
Look for the log entry that begins with DNS: discoverable ENR, for example:
INF 2023-06-15 16:09:54.448+01:00 DNS: discoverable ENR topics="waku node" tid=1623445 file=waku_node.nim:923 enr=enr:-Iu4QBKYj8Ovxwz4fIalxZ_1a8dOCU2WC-1LQrcBCCb4Np93f9-UuSZXn3vagJL1S3k3hwRYfOp3JSbW7_VqwtqMIeMBgmlkgnY0gmlwhAAAAACJc2VjcDI1NmsxoQOrmyV59dAzY4ZKrvrj32VOoZbLby8dCKFnXnqhIdQ0NYN0Y3CC6mCFd2FrdTIB
# ENR the node addresses are encoded in

ENR for Discv5
Look for the log entry that begins with Discv5: discoverable ENR, for example:
INF 2023-06-15 16:09:54.448+01:00 Discv5: discoverable ENR topics="waku node" tid=1623445 file=waku_node.nim:924 enr=enr:-IO4QDxToTg86pPCK2KvMeVCXC2ADVZWrxXSvNZeaoa0JhShbM5qed69RQz1s1mWEEqJ3aoklo_7EU9iIBcPMVeKlCQBgmlkgnY0iXNlY3AyNTZrMaEDdBHK1Gx6y_zv5DVw5Qb3DtSOMmVHTZO1WSORrF2loL2DdWRwgiMohXdha3UyAw
