Open Sl1mSh2d13 opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

🌟 Feature Request 📝 Description Introduce a user-friendly feature in ZKSYNC that allows individuals to easily run a lightweight node from home for transaction verification purposes. This "Home Node" option should be designed to be accessible for users with basic technical knowledge, providing a simple setup process.

🤔 Rationale Enabling users to run a node from home has several benefits. It enhances decentralization by distributing the network across individual users, thereby increasing overall network resilience. Additionally, it empowers users to actively participate in the ZKSYNC network, fostering a sense of community and ownership. This feature aligns with the principles of decentralization and inclusivity, allowing a broader user base to contribute to the stability and security of the ZKSYNC blockchain.

📋 Additional Context The "Home Node" feature could be accompanied by comprehensive documentation and user-friendly interfaces to guide users through the setup process. By promoting active involvement from the community, ZKSYNC can establish a more robust and distributed network, reducing reliance on centralized infrastructure and enhancing the overall resilience of the blockchain. Additionally, incentives, such as rewards or governance privileges, could be considered to encourage users to participate in running home nodes.
