Browser-node connectivity is foundational to any libp2p based network or application looking to expand its user base, through web-based clients. Since the libp2p ecosystem exhibits a wide range of network topologies, we've identified a few use-cases that benefit from AutoTLS.

Blockchains already relying on libp2p, of which are over 10, like [Ethereum](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/nodes-and-clients/light-clients/#why-are-light-clients-important) and Filecoin could leverage AutoTLS for browser-based and mobile light clients, with the goal of helping to increase client side verification of transactions. By extension, AutoTLS would also help with [Ethereum's statelessness roadmap](https://ethereum.org/en/roadmap/statelessness/), by allowing a wider set of nodes to serve data to light clients. This would decrease the reliance on centralized RPC providers, and increase the decentralization of such networks.
Blockchains using libp2p, such as Ethereum and Filecoin, could integrate AutoTLS and improve access to chain state for browser-based [light clients](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/nodes-and-clients/light-clients/#why-are-light-clients-important) and wallets. This would promote client-side transaction and state verification. Though it remains to be seen how much of a benefit this will be, since blockchains will typically have both a wire-protocol for long-lived connections between nodes and frontend specific APIs for request/response style interactions from apps. But the core idea is that AutoTLS enables reliable browser-based clients to connect to libp2p nodes, regardless of the network topology.
