1. Node Types & Roles

Aurevia features a multi-tier node architecture, each serving a specific function within the network:

1. Validator Nodes

• Role: Secure the network by validating transactions and producing new blocks.

• Consensus: Operates under Proof-of-Stake (PoS), requiring node operators to stake $VIA tokens.

• Rewards: Earn staking rewards and a portion of transaction fees for securing the network.

• Requirements: Minimum stake of the token, stable uptime, and performance benchmarks to ensure smooth operations. Designed for accessibility: Nodes can operate with low hardware requirements and even run on mobile devices, ensuring broad participation and decentralization.

2. Game Nodes

• Role: Optimize gaming transactions by processing in-game interactions, NFT transfers, and real-time data without congestion.

• Functionality: Enables off-chain execution and on-chain settlement to reduce transaction costs for players and developers.

• Use Case: Game developers can run private or public game nodes to enhance speed and reduce latency for their user base.
