Summary

Hotspots that can not provide bidirectional coverage are not useful for the IOT network as well as pose gaming risks. These risks are currently mitigated by the denylist operated by Nova Labs. This proposal proposes to move the bidirectionality metric that is currently enforced by the denylist to the PoC pipeline. This will result in hotspot owners being signaled of the issue faster and subsequently will signal hotspot owners that the issue has been resolved without waiting until the next denylist iteration.
