Messaging Protocol for Relaying Messages between Participants with Autonomous Distributed Blockchain Propagation

摘要

An autonomous distributed system, such as an ad hoc network or peer-to-peer-based file sharing system, consists of nodes contributing to the system. However, egoistic nodes could collapse such a system. In this paper, we propose a protocol for an autonomous distributed messaging system for relaying messages between participants. It autonomously and distributedly provides and manages incentive for relaying using blockchain technology. We consider several types of fraud on the system and how to prevent them.
