Feature request: Seed data back to the p2p network #116

I quote from the Mustekala project by MetaMask (shelved during crypto winter):

"Let’s say there are 10,000 discoverable online/active Full Ethereum Nodes. If we were to turn all Metamask users (About 1.5 million) into Light Clients it would overwhelm them very quickly."

It could be cool for Helios to contribute back to the p2p network if it is to reach widespread adoption.

The Mustekala architecture docs could be an inspiration.

This feature would be synergistic with #59.

@llllvvuu you may be interested in the portal network, which could be synergistic with helios.
