Edge Node (or Contributor Node)

Edge Nodes are specialized components within the Subnet Ecosystem:

Roles: A node bound to specific protocols built on the Subnet Infrastructure

Resource Contribution: Edge Nodes can provide various computational resources to the Subnet, enhance the overall capacity and performance of the Subnet

• RAM (Memory)

• CPU (Processing power)

• GPU (Graphics processing capabilities)

• Storage (Data retention capacity)

• Internet bandwidth

Reward Structure:

Edge Nodes earn reward based on their contributed DCU (Distributed Computational Units) both from Network layer and Protocol layer (dual tokens mining)

Protocol Specificity: Each Edge Node is associated with a particular protocol, allowing for specialized functions within the Subnet Ecosystem

By leveraging these Edge Nodes, the Subnet can distribute computational tasks and storage requirements across a network of contributors, potentially improving scalability, resilience, and performance of the overall system.
