The Next-Generation
WhatsApp Engine
Build scalable, high-performance WhatsApp automations without headless browsers. Featuring a built-in Pipeline, Plugin Registry, and REST API Generator.
Middleware Pipeline
Extensible message processing with before/after hooks. Validate, sanitize, and intercept.
Plugin Architecture
Modular design to safely expand capabilities without bloating the core engine or socket.
REST API Generator
Instantly expose a documented Express API for remote control from Python, Go, or PHP.
Under The Hood
WAKit isn't just a wrapper. It's a complete, modern rewrite of the WhatsApp Web architecture designed for scale.
Raw Socket Power
WAKit natively implements the WhatsApp Noise protocol and Signal encryption layer, allowing you to connect directly via WebSockets without overhead.
End-to-End Encryption
Multi-device Signal Protocol implementation ensures all your bot's communications are fully encrypted and secure, just like the official app.
High-Performance Core
Engineered in strict TypeScript, WAKit handles massive event loads, automatic connection retries, and intelligent backing off without crashing.
Global Scalability
Deploy anywhere. Since WAKit does not require a headless browser (Puppeteer/Selenium), it uses less than 50MB of RAM and can run on serverless edges.
