Fair Peer-to-Peer Content Delivery via Blockchain

In comparison with conventional content delivery networks, peer-to-peer (p2p) is promising to save cost and handle high peak-demand, can also complement the decentralized storage networks such as Filecoin. However, reliable p2p requires proper enforcement of fairness, i.e., deliverers should be rewarded according their in-time delivery. Unfortunately, most existing studies on fairness are based non-cooperative game-theoretic assumptions that arguably unrealistic in ad-hoc setting.
