Preamble

Idea: 254-ultra-light-client
Title: Integration of ULC in Status
Status: Draft
Created: 2018-05-02

Summary

Current LES is not yet optimized for ultra-light devices like mobile phones. So in the first step introduce the ULC addressing this kind of clients.

Product Overview

Current LES is not optimized for usage on mobile phones. So Status is using Infura with all its assets and drawbacks. ULC is addressing ultra-light clients and distribution without dependency to central providers. Instead a network of trusted LES nodes acts as counterpart for the protocol.

So Status is supporting the development and testing of ULC to accelerate integration into go-ethereum as well as into Status itself.

Product Description

  • Research of ULC design
  • Definition and implementation of ULC
  • Integrate ULC in statusd and the lib
  • Documentation

Minimum Viable Product

Goal Date: 2018-06-30

Description:

  • New Ultra Light Client mode is added to patched LES
  • Integrate ULC with status-go with Status nodes as trusted nodes
  • Collect metrics (CPU, mem, disk, network I/O) when starting with a branch new install and after 1h of inactivity
  • Keep battery and network consumption at least as low as today with Infura

Iteration 1

Goal Date: TBD

Description:

  • Support integration of ULC into go-ethereum
  • Documentation

Artifacts

  • None

Success Metrics

LES of go-ethereum is extended to use ULC with a similar or better use of bandwidth and CPU as Infura.
