Introducing the Guardian Node System for Enhanced Network Security and Rewards
The Gobbl Food Chain invites the community to participate in maintaining the network by operating Guardian Nodes. Central to this system is the Gobbl Node Key, a unique, non-fungible token (NFT) essential for operating a Guardian Node. This key authenticates a node's eligibility to submit validations and earn rewards. Users will be able to mint a Node Key via our dedicated Node Key minting website upon its release, with the minting price determined by an increasing threshold system.
The Node Key is crucial for submitting validations during network challenges. Its validity is checked during challenge assertions, ensuring that the submitter is either the Node Key's owner or an authorized party. This process allows the validation to proceed seamlessly.
For reward claims, the Guardian Verifier contract and Node runtime ensure that the Node Key owner complies with all necessary regulations and that the validation qualifies for a payout. Upon meeting these criteria, rewards are distributed accordingly.
Owning a Node Key NFT grants the operator the authority to validate and endorse Gobbl Food Chain assertions. This responsibility comes with the potential for rewards. When a Guardian Node successfully validates and signs off on a state assertion, and if that assertion is later verified as legitimate, the Guardian Node operator becomes eligible for a reward. These rewards are distributed in $GOBBL tokens, aligning the interests of the Guardians with the overall health and efficiency of the Gobbl Food Chain network.
Assertions and Validation
Each assertion’s legitimacy is validated by a smart contract. When a validator makes an assertion, a trusted “challenger” signs the assertion with its private key and submits that signature to the smart contract. The smart contract verifies this signature and records it as a “challenge” corresponding to the original assertion, ensuring the security of the Gobbl Food Chain.
The Gobbl Node Key is a critical component of node operations, validation submissions, and reward distributions in the Gobbl Food Chain network. To participate in this system and receive rewards, prospective Guardian Node operators must acquire at least one unique Node Key NFT, effectively serving as a license key and a verifiable part of the Gobbl ecosystem.
By participating as a Guardian Node operator, community members play a vital role in maintaining the security and efficiency of the Gobbl Food Chain while also being incentivized with $GOBBL tokens. This decentralized approach ensures a robust and trustworthy network, driven by the active engagement and contribution of its community.
