Background

As with the RLNv2 introduction with 0.30.0 coming change on the used blockchain from sepolia to polygon it may be a the right time to clarify for our volunteers for what type of node operation needs RLN registration.

Common node operators will most probably not deploy applications on waku network, just would like to operate a regular waku-node. This means the node will not publish messages on its own but just needs to verify relayed messages via RLN.

Details

This issue aims to provide regular operators an option to choose between different kind:

This will enhance clarity and ease the support of volunteer operators. This distinction may also help later incentivization.

Acceptance criteria

In this case it's better icebox or close this issue and not to create confusion with a not recommended option.
