Communicating with Litheum - The Security of Signed Data

Because the production of data from a node is a form of work or the difficulty in proof of performance, it is possible for third parties, wallets, and other nodes to communicate with Litheum as a network rather than communicating only with a single node.

Of course, in the end, a single node is communicated with in order to receive a response to an RPC. In other words when someone wants to communicate with Litheum the network will provide a list of nodes which then provide further data. of course this process must be bootstrapped and it's not possible to communicate with a node prior to knowing what node to communicate with, however even via a bootstrapping mechanism the correctness of these rpcs can also be bootstrapped once the data is received.

what this means is that cross chain or cross infrastructure Communications is available out of the box in a proof of performance context. for things like storage, bridges, and oracles this capability offers a natural platform.

We believe that a Proof-of-Performance-like mechanism or infrastructure which is built in a Truly Decentralized way offers a greatly superior means of building these infrastructural necessities in a decentralized way.
