WCF is now open source (see github) and works well on .Net core and above. If you configure it with nettcpbinding the performance is on par with gRPC. Self-hosting the service works as before via System.ServiceModel.ServiceHost.
The ongoing .net core port called CoreWcf plans to realize that goal as a future feature on it's roadmap. Where there's plans on adding new transports that didn't exist on .net framework wcf like Grpc, Azure Service bus, Amazon SQS, rabbitmq etc...
If you have a need to still support existing client apps that used a WCF backend then this or SoapCore are both options but I don’t think they have full support for all features that WCF had.
