Hardware Requirements:
Processor: At least an Intel i7 11th generation or higher.
RAM: 32 GB.
Disk Space: 1 TB of available storage.
Software Requirements:
The Toto Chain uses a Substrate-based framework. The node setup instructions reference tools and libraries commonly used with Substrate and Polkadot. (see https://substrate.io/)
It requires installation and configuration of specific runtime environments for compiling and running the blockchain node.
A readme file exists with technical instructions for setting up and running a node. Reference Substrate and Polkadot tutorials for more guidance.
A comprehensive guide for validator configuration is still under development. Currently, a basic guide is available but needs enhancements for clarity and usability.
Steps to Become a Node Operator:
Register as a validator candidate on the chain.
Set up session keys to enable block production.
Selection and Roles:
Every hour, 11 validators are selected from a pool of candidates for block production.
Block producers perform the following tasks:
Collecting and signing transactions.
Adding them to blocks.
Distributing blocks for validation using the GRANDPA consensus mechanism.
Rewards:
Block producers earn "POTENTIAL," a reward token used for on-chain activities and referral incentives. They can also manually claim additional core assets through a "magic box" reward system.
Users and block producers earn fractional NFTs ("puzzle pieces"), which can be combined into full NFTs for additional rewards. These mechanisms encourage engagement and chain stability.
Community Contributions:
Users and communities can submit smart contracts for additional rewards, incentivizing block production and network engagement.
