Perhaps if IPFS is a solution for this then some of the delegation that both platforms have could be used to incentivize hosting nodes or perhaps discuss how torrents could be implemented and incentive for seeding/downloading could be used to grow the network.
I think this is a great thing if we could solve it, and we already have great teams working towards it. Maybe some collaboration is in order.
Rondom, Aggroed and a few of us were talking about possible solutions. Told him to reach out to you 🙂
