Sync only updated local records in a threshold period:@raku-ethelia#12;- Sync local and remote databases via different endpoints: conside sync every hour, so let's sync via Alchemy on even hours and local Geth node on odd hours;
- Describe and test the approaches to make a blockchain sync reliable and endpoint independent. Currently we can actually switch between Alchemy and Local nodes, in theory (it should be tested) we can open VPN tunnel to
AC78
and use it temporarily (also we can open VPN tunnel right at the sync start from the helper script) — anyway finally we have to get some kind of documentation with all these details; trx-advancer
: review latest implementation and add (???) functionality to get transactions from a mempool, in general we have to introduce the tools for quick identification and fixing the next situation:- current nonce is
X
; - we commit signed transaction with nince
X+100
: transaction stuck and will never be mined; trx-advancer
should be able to find that transaction and somehow restore the nonce sequence: get stuck transaction's input and create a new transaction withX+1
nonce;
- current nonce is
- Update Ethereum authenticator and Telegram bot containers to use shared folders for external data: we have to be able to delete and create containers without data loss.
- Migrate to

Pinky paper
- Ethelia technical concept: Telegram, Geth, Pheix and Ethelia as an add-on module;
- Technical part from marketing perspective: finally we have to do full rewrite of tech part in human/investor readable way, collect details from:
- Startup World Cup Ulan-Bataar 2024;
- Ethelia investment presentation: PDF, Video;
- Letter of motivation (#32);
- Glovo KG Startup Competition;
- Running Ethereum node grant;
- Sui x KuCoin Labs Summer Hackathon;
- IT-Park UZ registration at acceleration program;
- Ethelia traction metrics Q1 2023;
- Late startup application form at YC;
- UNICEF Call for Frontier Technology Startups;
- Techstars startup strategy.
- Monetization and product payback:
- PM2.5 project funding model: #37;
- since fixed limit for event search is introduced, different paid subscriptions could increase/decrease this setting;
- event subscription — «events-on-air» feature on remote endpoint or in administrative panel, also consider filters and proxy/relay to external services like Telegram, Matrix, Slack, Discord or traditional email as a future improvements;
- plan «pay per device» — we will define the limit for free-of-charge event sources, any additional source should be paid;
- plans «pay per request» or «pay per auth» — request cost is 20x lower for example, but auth is much more flexible for enterprise clients;
- generally Ethelia is a gateway to public, private (scale the higher number of nodes), virtual (cloud hosted) and local (single CPU) networks — there could be any pricing plans, like «pay per node» — increase number of nodes and make it much more decentralized, «pay per CPU» — scale your local network, «pay per resource» — manage your cloud;
- plan «pay per transaction» — /pheix-io/unilode/-/issues/1#subscription-details;
- since the registration model via Telegram bot is used, we can introduce different paid plans in TON coins, the most reasonable one «pay per function» — customer pays for advanced bot functions (mostly taken from administrative panel);
- admin panel integration to 3rd-party websites requires cross domain cookies to be allowed, so SameSite should be set to
None
instead ofStrict
— it's configurable and customer might be charged to allow that feature; - investment models for PM25/Ethelia project based on ERC20 token listings and long-term historical data usage/sharing perspectives: PDF;

Extended technical details
Pheix database on blockchain optimization/improvement
It was moved to Deprecated section: /rawhide/deprecated/op/event-driven-database.
This optimization/improvement has no sense in general cause of use of EIP-4844 blob transactions. The PheixDatabase
smart contract was improved at @pheix-research/smart-contracts#48.
Authorization on event source
Now we have to pass auth on Ethereum node and get the access token. This token might be changed in some time interval, so:
- deliver new token somehow to event source;
- just add authorization step to event source software/firmware.
Both solutions are very expensive and we need something lightweight and reliable. I suggest to consider subscription feature available in Geth.
Static tokens were introduced at 2a720ea3 and this is the possible compromise for now.
