Subnet Node Type
There are two types of Subnet Nodes
Master Node
Master Nodes are integral components of the Subnet infrastructure, performing several critical functions:
Transaction Management:
Store all Subnet transactions
Validate all Subnet transactions
Data Availability Layer (DAL):
Serve as the DAL for all Subnet Decentralized Applications
Ensure data accessibility and integrity for the Subnet Ecosystem
Cross-Network Operations:
Submit and Verify proofs between the Subnet and Mainnet
Data Transmission between Subnet Protocols
Reward Structure: Master Nodes receive compensation for their services through:
A portion of Subnet transaction fees
Rewards for proof submission and verification between Subnet and Mainnet
By fulfilling these roles, Master Nodes contribute to the security, reliability, and interoperability of the Subnet network, while also maintaining a connection with the main blockchain.
Edge Node (or Contributor Node)
Edge Nodes are specialized components within the Subnet Ecosystem:
Roles: A node bound to specific protocols built on the Subnet Infrastructure
Resource Contribution: Edge Nodes can provide various computational resources to the Subnet, enhance the overall capacity and performance of the Subnet
RAM (Memory)
CPU (Processing power)
GPU (Graphics processing capabilities)
Storage (Data retention capacity)
Internet bandwidth
Reward Structure:
Edge Nodes earn reward based on their contributed DCU (Distributed Computational Units) both from Network layer and Protocol layer (dual tokens mining)
Protocol Specificity: Each Edge Node is associated with a particular protocol, allowing for specialized functions within the Subnet Ecosystem
By leveraging these Edge Nodes, the Subnet can distribute computational tasks and storage requirements across a network of contributors, potentially improving scalability, resilience, and performance of the overall system.
