The main aim of ragno network(other than providing data to dojima cross-chain protocol) is to power data for several protocols in a fast, efficient and decentralised manner.
The crawler node is responsible for fetching and filtering data from multiple blockchains, specifically focusing on identifying Dojima cross-chain transactions.
It operates in conjunction with a Hermes node, connected via a secure bridge. This enables a secure and optimized way to transfer filtered transactions to the Dojima cross-chain protocol.
The crawler node interacts with the network by accessing data from operator gateway servers, ensuring decentralization and efficiency.
Operators are essential participants in the Ragno Network. They host nodes from blockchains of their choice as part of the decentralized infrastructure.
Operators must stake a minimum number of $DOJ tokens to become part of the network.
They are rewarded in $DOJ tokens based on their contributions, particularly the data they provide to the Dojima cross-chain protocol.
The Operator Dashboard is a critical tool that enables operators to manage their nodes and monitor their performance.
Key functionalities include:
Registering new nodes.
Monitoring node health and performance metrics.
Tracking rewards earned through participation in the network.
Operators can securely log in using their private keys and import nodes hosted elsewhere to earn additional rewards by contributing to the Dojima cross-chain protocol.
Once an operator becomes part of the network by staking, an operator gateway server is automatically set up.
This gateway server acts as a secure intermediary between the operator’s nodes and the crawler nodes.
Key functionalities of the gateway server include:
Authenticating requests from crawler nodes to fetch block data.
Verifying signatures and mapping public keys with pairing lists.
Rate limiting, authentication, and caching to ensure efficient and fair access to the data.
The gateway server provides a reliable mechanism for operators to control access to their node resources while still contributing data to the Ragno Network.
Hermes Chain manages the identities and operations of all actors (operators and crawlers) within the cross-chain protocol.
Operators register their nodes on the Hermes chain, while crawler nodes interact with the operators to fetch necessary data from the blockchains.
Every 200 blocks, Hermes maps crawlers to operators using a Pairing List (PL):
Each crawler submits a PL, which is aggregated and finalized by Hermes.
The final PL is fetched by the crawlers, who can then request block data from the assigned operator servers.
Data Flow:
Crawlers can only request data from operators they are mapped to via the PL.
Once crawlers fetch the data, they filter for Dojima cross-chain transactions.
These filtered transactions are batched and sent back to the Hermes chain for further processing.
Rewards: Operators claim their rewards for providing data, with the reward amount calculated based on the compute units they contribute to the network.
