Validator Node

A “Validator Node” typically refers to a node that participates in the process of validating and verifying transactions. They ensure security and integrity of the network.

The round icons on the edges are the external contacts or the means to communicate with the outside world.

The diamond shaped icons inside the hexagon are the internal modules.

Storage Node

A “Storage Node” refers to a node in a distributed storage network such as those used in decentralized file storage systems. Storage nodes may also participate in consensus mechanism to ensure the integrity of the data stored in the network.

Audit Node

An “Audit Node” refers to a node that is responsible for auditing or verifying the correctness of transactions and data. They contribute to the overall security and trustworthiness of the network.
