[WIP] Kolmogorov Proof of Concept

Concept of the PoC

Enable the user to run a block explorer SPA in her browser, discovering kitsunet peers, connecting to them, and finally exchanging ethereum data from the network, in a p2p fashion.

PoC Feature Summary

• Getting specific data from devp2p (as opposed to "all the data")
• Availability of the above ethereum data in libp2p
• Block Explorer SPA
  • Able to connect to kitsunet
  • Able to fetch data from kitsunet peers
  • Able to share data to kitsunet peers
• Telemetry System
  • Probably (Nice to have), the openness of this system for any user's consuming

Layer breakdown

See the architecture documentation for a thorough understanding of which comprises each layer

Layer 1

• Getting data from devp2p
  • Latest canonical block header
  • Ommers, transactions and transaction receipts
  • Specific ethereum account traversals
  • Specific ethereum smart contract storage traversals.

Layer 2

• Placement of data in libp2p
  • IPFS nodes with IPLD plugin
• Containerization of the above Bridges to boost the network
• Hubs
  • Container systems running IPFS+IPLD
  • Discovery availability
  • Hot caching capacities
    • If we don't have a hash, we start to ask for it
    • Dynamic selection of specific accounts to pick

Layer 3

Block Explorer SPA

No named yet 😉

• Connection to kitsunet
• Consume and Visualize Data
  • Latest Block
  • Block Headers
  • Ommers
  • Transactions
  • Transaction Receipts
  • Show specific accounts
  • Show specific smart contract data
  • Execute smart contract code, access its data (ex. Token balance)
  • Send data to Telemetry server

Questions:

• How do we know whats the latest block?
  • We can use pubsub and publish the latest block on a topic
    • How do we publish from multiple ipfs nodes?
      • Maybe, we can use ipfs cluster

Layer 4

We are not working on the CRS at this PoC stage.

Telemetry

• Redundancy
• Availability
• Well Spacing
• Clustering (i.e. "How far of my neighbourhood I have to go to get data?")
• Data Exchange Rate

PoC must be rethought
