This:
1. Ethereum might be too slow to handle heavy load (that is transactions on SONM marketplace) while other projects are also based on ETH --- think Cryptokitties
2. At the same time, Ethereum is the only smart contract platform that is time tested and proven at this point. Changing to another network is possible but they decided its risky
3. Transaction fees on Ethereum are too high to have an efficient and fluid spot market. On Sonm sidechain transaction will be either free or very cheap

nice sideeffect: future blockchain projects might be build on SONM sidechain

there will be two types on Nodes: Masternode to secure the sidechain. Gatekeeper nodes to secure the connection to ethereum network. If you check out their February monthly report you can find most of these details.

BTW, tomorrow Q&A session on youtube!
You can ask questions here, they might be answered in tomorrow's livestream: https://twitter.com/sonmdevelopment/status/988462923361214464

Hello!
This is the best answer possible! We are grateful for your support!

Stay tuned
SONM team

yes that's great on sonm sidechain many things like speed and fees will be no more an issue
but right now eth network is very stable now its speed is good for now and very low cost transaction fee at the moment
their is no need to change the network. eth is okay. but if sonm team will do that then its only wastage of time
because sonm team should focus on developments and on sonm sidechain
we sonm community have to wait and let sonm team finished their work on the project
