Bedrock/Saturn L2 meeting:

• Myel not yet sure what we’re doing in terms of work stream
  • Afraid of getting absorbed into L1’s — is this ok though?
• L2 rationale
  • Exist for larger network design reasons
  • Don’t solve an actual problem
• L2 cache miss through L1
  • Does it make sense???
• Three problems for L2:
  • Workable product use case
  • Multi-party transfer
  • Incentives
• Incentive situation
  • L1 Incentives doesn’t work for L2
  • L1 pays L2?
  • Direct payments for paid content?
  • Hard problem, need cryptoecon
• Multi-peer transfer
  • Relatively well understood, or at least good ideas
  • Working group in process
  • Hannah: suggestion to focus on this — I can help maybe
• Product use case
  • Large content: Movies? Blockchain snapshots?
    • L1 for initial latency, TTFB, sends back initial data and list of peers with content
    • Browser makes connections to L2 as initial content streams in, augments transfer speed with L2s
  • Rod: what about long tail rare content? hard to find on gateways or SPs quickly? (who would be interested in paying for this?)
  • Thomas + Alex: We want to think about this
• Launchability
  • These feel like research problems — hard to put a launch date
  • Suggestion to think about product and work on multi-party cause that’s clear progress
  • Use existing myel network to deploy experiments
