@davidrevoy i think you could steal some stuff from crypto networks like the theta network, MINA, nodes that communicate chains of info will slow it down a bit, but you could do stuff like mesh nodes phone apps and reduce the bandwidth to nothing.
a holistic design that enables true decentralisation would be the optimal. i get that nobodies done it yet, but thats the goal i spose. im not a sysadmin used to scaling but i would run a node on many things if it was dedicated to one network.
