Certify nimbus as a lightnode proxy on GnosisChain on Android #7235
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As things stand, users of ethOS can connect to Ethereum Mainnet via a local lightnode proxy. These users are unable to connect to GnosisChain natively, and must rely on a remote endpoint.
Describe the solution you'd like
Validation that a nimbus lightnode proxy on Android is able to peer with GnosisChain, and to enable publication of transactions to the network.
As a test transaction, it would be instructive to use ethswarm's storage-incentives protocol, in order to deploy a chequebook and purchase postage stamps.
Additional context
ethOS introduces a system-level wallet and a lightnode proxy on Ethereum to GrapheneOS (Android), using nimbus as the client.
An emerging concept from ethSwarm community is to integrate Android with it's decentralised storage network, to provide the owner of the system-level wallet a way to store and retrieve data.
This could be done in a way that relies on a remote RPC endpoint for publishing transactions to GnosisChain, for interacting with Swarm's storage-incentives protocol. This however introduces unnecessary complexity, and has different trust assumptions compared with peering directly with the network from the device itself.
A phone running both 1. a Swarm node and 2. a GnosisChain node would provide the owner of the device with a valuable service for managing their data.
