Hi all,
Following the ongoing development of GI, Node, and related protocols, I recommend revising certain statements and descriptions in the Whitepaper.
Here are the details that require modification.
Overall
- change cases:
- Request Fees → request fees
- Network Rewards → network rewards
- Operation Tax → operation tax
- Reliability Score → reliability score
- fig.2 : SN → Node
Section III. A
- changing the term “Permisionless Data Source (PDSs)” to “Open Data Protocols (ODPS)”.
Section III. C
- The GIs perform critical duties to ensure the Network is robust and reliable.
- GI has been changed to GIs where appropriate throughout the updates.
- The GI components have been updated to match the current architecture:
- Router: The routers ensure requests are routed and served with high performance and minimal latency.
- Broadcaster: The broadcasters constantly monitor all Nodes’ status for irregular behaviors.
- Enforcer: The enforcers maintain records of demotion and slashing, and slash Nodes that fail to meet requirements.
- Settler: The settlers initiate submissions of work records to the Value Sublayer.
- Payment Processor: The payment processors ensure request fees are correctly distributed.
- Taxer: The taxers calculate the Network’s average tax rate and update the settlement contract.
- Indexer: The indexer is responsible for structuring activities that take place on the entire Network, and supplying the information via network transparency API.
Section V. C.3
- A Chip is an ERC-721 Non-Fungible Token (NFT)
This is an informational REP, requires no code changes and has no empirical impact on anything.
