Description

Economics of the proof aggregator (incentives, costs, pricing).

Justification

As part of Codex Technical Milestones #1 ("Proof Aggregation") and #2 ("Aggregator Network").

Deliverables

• Modeling and Simulations of the Proof Aggregator actor and process
• One section of the Codex Litepaper "Modeling" chapter (the milestones contract-initiation, contract-matching, contract-defaults, contract-finalization, recovery-auction, slot-repair, and tax-system cover the remaining parts of this chapter).

Tracking Metrics

• Timely delivery of the report
• Agreement with Codex team and stakeholders

Work breakdown

• Definition of the Proof Aggregator role
• Analysis of PA costs and pricing
• Definition of the Proof Aggregation economy
• Analysis of the interactions between PAs

### Perceived Risks Technical and legal constraints.
