Can Holochain network hosts charge other self-hosted networks to connect to their network?

Yes, it is technically possible for Holochain network hosts to charge other self-hosted networks to connect to their network. However, the specifics of how this would work would depend on the specific implementation and governance of the Holochain network.

In a decentralized network like Holochain, the decision to charge for network connections would need to be agreed upon by the network’s governance group or other decision-making body. Additionally, the technical implementation of how network hosts would charge for these connections would also need to be determined.

It’s also worth noting that charging for network connections may not necessarily align with the decentralized and collaborative ethos of the Holochain ecosystem. In general, Holochain emphasizes building networks that prioritize cooperation, sharing, and mutual benefit among its participants. Charging for network connections could potentially create barriers to entry for some participants and limit the potential benefits of collaboration and cooperation within the network.

Overall, while it may be technically possible for Holochain network hosts to charge for network connections, it’s important to consider the potential impact on the network’s values and overall ecosystem before implementing such a model.
