Mustekala Roadmap

Requirements

Ethereum storage requierements

• Facilitating account and token balance
  • Identify the slice associated with the token address
• Get the slice
  • figure out if the slice is complete
    • we'll know if this is a final slice or not and download the remainder when we run the contract(s)
• Run the contract
  • intercept the storage calls and download the slices that contain that storage (this is done already)

Kitsunet requirements

• Nodes need to figure out which slices they are serving
  • We can use some sort of consistent hashing to map slices onto peers
  • The node also keeps the slices that it needs, for example for the accounts it's interested in
  • as a possible optiomization, we might also want to have a notion of topologicaly close nodes that collaborate with
• block source
  • mvp: infura via http
• slice source
  • ideas:
    • 1. slice producing geth forks joins kitsunet
      • cons: more complexity, deploy frequently, ensure browser + node coverage
    • 2. slice producing geth fork exposes http/ws accessed by "activated" node
      • pro: simple, lets us focus on gossip/topo

MVP

As a first step, we want to have a few slices that we subscribe to and get the accounts balances and token balances.

• multiple slice feeds
• block header feed
• passive nodes track header and 1 slice
• active nodes change their slice subscription
