    • Review issue in which messages are received duplicated. Turns out it’s due to an oversight in how bindings for waku were implemented. (This affects both go-waku and nwaku bindings) Discussed the problem with Waku Team, and this issue was created product of that discussion. In the meantime, a workaround was suggested to use a single pubsub subscription instead.
