Visit the Atlus website at atlus.cloud and navigate to the "Service Providers" section.
This Service Providers section provides detailed information on Blobbers, Sharders, Miners, and Validators. Let's get into the details of each service provider:
Blobbers are the storage providers in the Züs network. They offer data storage services to users and are compensated based on the quality and duration of the storage provided. Each blobber is responsible for maintaining the data it stores, ensuring availability and integrity. Users can choose blobbers based on various metrics like price, performance, and geographical location.
The Blobbers Table shows the following columns:
Sharders play a crucial role in managing the index of the data stored across the network. They facilitate quick and efficient retrieval of data by maintaining a record of all transactions and the corresponding data blocks. This makes the network scalable by distributing the load and allowing for effective data queries without overwhelming any single point in the network.
Miners in the Züs network are responsible for processing transactions and adding them to the blockchain. They play a critical role in maintaining the integrity and security of the network by ensuring that all transactions are valid and blocks are added correctly. Miners participate in consensus mechanisms to agree on the state of the ledger, helping to prevent fraud and ensuring network reliability.
Validators are similar to miners but are specifically tasked with validating blocks and transactions before they are finalized on the blockchain. Validators can also refer to entities that check the integrity of data stored by blobbers, ensuring that the blobbers are accurately storing the data they claim to hold, which is crucial for maintaining trust in the decentralized storage solution.
Use the provided search functionality to quickly locate specific providers or filter based on parameters like health status or geographic location.
Market charts are analytical tools that depict various economic indicators within the Züs Network. These charts track the performance and trends of ZCN, including its price, supply dynamics, market capitalization, and more. Here is the guide to review market charts:
