Yes, indeed. The blog post and forum post already had a lot of content. So I did not address the “generalised Waku service marketplace”.
I think it’s post for another day. But for the readers:
Once we have designed, built, and deployed incentivization mechanisms for Waku services (store, light push, bootstrap, etc) and all the component it needs (capability discovery, negotiation, payment, reputation), then it should be possible to re-use those components as an off-the-shelf framework to incentivizes other offchain services.
The “offchain” is important, because if the service is onchain, then most likely component such as “reputation” or even “discovery” may not be needed.
The assumption is that we can generalize this framework to enable a plethora of off-chain services to be provided and paid for in a decentralized manner.
Think VPNs, WebRTC servers, etc. The hard part being the fact that such services are offchain, and hence there are needs for reputation, etc.
Will expand on this another day
