+## Description
+
+DST lab is a set of machines that are mainly used in a composed Kubernetes cluster.
+In this environment, we can do a set of experiments to test regressions,
+new functionalities and features, or experimental changes on any decentralized system.
+In these experiments, we look for abnormal behaviors, we do measurements to study
+the performance and robustness of the system. These results can be also used to compare
+with theoretical results and analyze the scaling behaviors of the systems.
+At the same time, we will work on improving the lab's resources and time allocation,
+while allow provisioning to other teams dedicated machines if they are needed.

+`ift-ts:dst:ift:2026q4-dst-tooling`
+
+## Description
+
+We will create tools to help DST efficiency.
+These tools can be composed of utilities for Kubernetes,
+or any other kind that fits the necessities of DST and other projects.
+As projects might share common necessities, this tasks will be considered
+as a scaffold for DST tools, adapting the tools for each project if it needs.
+The primary focus will be on adapting the necessities of the Waku team for
+the log parser tool. This will comprise retrieving information from a given
+message id, history of discovered peers, subscriptions, while having good 
+performance and supportability.
+Additionally, the project will define workflows that facilitate the creation
+and execution of specialized scenarios. These scenarios will assist in 
+the analysis of libp2p and Gossipsub, supporting studies focused on 
+adversarial conditions and control message behavior.
