Product Overview

We need LES client enabled on mobile device to be really decentralized and to enable all web3 features for dApps.

Requirements & Dependencies

Depends on research swarm #254

Security and Privacy Implications

• Free slots for LES servers
• Trusted nodes selection

Minimum Viable Product

• LES can work as the second Ethereum provider in status app.
• ULC can work as the third Ethereum provider in status app with static trusted nodes.
