Marketplace for RPC providers with privacy

[liamzebedee]

How much would you pay for an Ethereum RPC node that isn't susceptible to logging your IP and censoring your transactions? Zero setup, no config. All part of Dappnet, seamless UX.

It's not even that we would run the nodes. It could be an open marketplace of RPC node providers, and Dappnet governance curates providers that are reputable - after all, it'd be brittle to just trust one company to run nodes!

Problems this solves:

• Metamask/Infura collect your personal data, and people don't like that https://twitter.com/bantg/status/1596080018601517056
• Metamask/Infura now censor stuff, and it's not simple for users to make their own choice and find a better alternative. https://twitter.com/0xdev0/status/1556933551073153024
• Light clients aren't really ready yet https://github.com/gliss-co/dappnet-features/issues/4

    /*
    User flows:
    - user buys a subscription
