## Abstract

This SWIP proposes an improvement to the Bee network by implementing a mechanism that identifies the smallest neighbourhood and mints a new wallet with an address that corresponds to the appropriate neighbourhood. This will enhance the efficiency of the network and optimize resource allocation.

## Motivation

The current Bee network does not have a mechanism to identify the smallest neighbourhood and mint a new wallet with an address that corresponds to that neighbourhood. This results in inefficient resource allocation and suboptimal network performance. By implementing this feature, we can improve the overall efficiency and performance of the network.

## Specification

The proposed feature will consist of two main components:

1. **Neighbourhood Size Optimization:** The system will be able to identify the smallest neighbourhood in the Bee network. This will be done by analyzing the network topology and calculating the size of each neighbourhood.

2. **Wallet Minting:** Once the smallest neighbourhood is identified, the system will mint a new wallet with an address that corresponds to that neighbourhood. This will ensure that resources are allocated to the areas of the network that need them the most.

The implementation of these components will require modifications to the core Bee network code. The exact details of these modifications will be determined during the implementation phase.

## Rationale

The proposed feature will improve the efficiency of the Bee network by ensuring that resources are allocated to the areas of the network that need them the most. This will result in improved network performance and a better user experience.

## Backwards Compatibility

The proposed feature will be fully backwards compatible with the existing Bee network. Existing wallets and neighbourhoods will not be affected by the implementation of this feature.

## Test Cases

Test cases will be developed to verify the correct operation of the proposed feature. These will include tests for the neighbourhood size optimization and wallet minting components.

## Implementation

The implementation of this feature will be carried out by the Bee development team. The exact timeline for implementation will be determined once the SWIP is approved.

## Security Considerations

The proposed feature will not introduce any new security risks to the Bee network. The process of minting new wallets will be secure and will not expose any sensitive information.
