Light Workers in Waterfall

Abstract

This article discusses the concept of “light workers” which can address issues related to the high entry threshold for new nodes in Blockchain networks, particularly in Proof-of-Stake systems. The article describes the differences between light node concepts, classic light clients, and light workers. The authors propose a three-phase approach for introducing light workers into the Waterfall network, and provide a conceptual description of each phase. The first phase is described in detail. Additionally, the article includes calculations that justify the implementation of the proposed approach.
