Nodes Architecture
Overview
Our core network running on a PoS chain with utility token $BAI, is made of two types of nodes:
- Validators - validating blocks and providing staking services
- AI Nodes - responsible for running AI models, hosting agents and providing connectivity
Validators
A Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchain validator is a participant in a PoS-based blockchain network responsible for proposing and validating new blocks of transactions. Validators play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and security of the blockchain network by ensuring that transactions are valid and adding them to the blockchain in a secure and decentralized manner.
Furthermore, validators shoulder the responsibility of upholding blockchain security by diligently monitoring the network for any suspicious activities, particularly instances of double-spending. Double-spending, the act of utilizing the same currency units more than once, is mitigated within blockchains through the integration of open ledgers and cryptographic algorithms.
BalanceAI Validators run as an alliance and their main focus is on helping the chain to function.
AI Nodes
Every AI researcher and developer can participate in BalanceAI network. They can run AI Nodes and connect their models/agents to BalanceAI network. The connection is done utilizing specialized SDK called BalanceAI Wrapper.
