 ## Summary

-Later add the LES Service Model where clients can subscribe to higher quality services. Different payment
-models will be available, negotiation between client and full node is done via auctions based on demands and
-capacity. This way full node service provide are able to monetize the services they provide. LES will make the

-Current LES is not optimized for usage on mobile phones. So Status is using Infura with all its assets and

-Instead a network of trusted LES nodes acts as counterpart for the protocol.
