Google Docs version: Design economical system for Web Free Node - Google Docs
Contest: Design economical system for Web Free Node(aka TON OS DApp Server)
Objective
Goal: Design economical system for Web Free Node to ensure that there are as many Web Free Nodes as possible running on the network to ensure censorship resistance and end-to-end decentralization for each Free TON user.
Motivation
A Web Free Node has several important functions in Free TON architecture: it provides an access to the blockchain data for all the applications, it is used as a relay node for external messages and it is a Verifier Node, which ensures the correctness and the availability of blocks. As such the WFN Verifier should be a full participant in the Free TON economy.

Task
Describe and propose the most efficient, decentralized and secure economical system to incentive Web Free Node maintainers. The Economic system must ensure that there are as many Web Free Nodes as possible running on the network. The incentives should not be based solely on fisherman rewards for finding incorrect blocks since these situations are extremely rare (but should include them nevertheless). Some form of compensation for relaying the External Messages as well as providing data to other network participants, namely synchronization services for other nodes and user search query services.
Requirements
- decentralized and automated on-chain economical system for Web Free Node
- detailed architecture diagram, system elements description, smart contract, etc
- final document should be presented in form of white-paper, including an abstract as a preliminary overall description of the system
- WFN maintainer incentives including but not limited to fisherman rewards, compensation for relaying the external messages, providing data to other network participants (e.q user search query services, synchronization services for other nodes) etc
Evaluation criteria and Winning conditions
- logic simplicity
- complexity
- security and fraud prevention mechanisms
- possible control mechanism for sufficient decentralization and system performance of Web Free Nodes
- detailed description of implementation stages and economical system requirements
- Illustrations, including charts and/or other visual aids are always a plus
