Pricing strategy for Host Functions and Storage

Open HDauven opened this issue 9 months ago • 0 comments

Summary

Currently, host functions do not have a "fair" price attached to them. Storage is priced solely based on the computation of memory allocation.

This approach is most likely not optimal as it does not account for the actual resource usage and the economic impact of host functions computational load and underpriced storage.

Possible solution design or implementation

To address this, we should figure out the computational complexity of host functions (Accounting for network load and implicit storage as well?) and figure out an optimum of storage versus computational cost. Ideas like expiration and rent can be considered, but would be out of scope for now.
