NewChain nodes are the key co-constructers of Newton infrastructure. Newton NewChain Testnet and Mainnet are opened to the community, individual can deploy Testnet and Mainnet according to the instructions specified in this repo. Afer deploying the NewChai Mainnet, the Mainnet ledger nodes can produce blocks and get NEW as the transaction fees from every transaction.
In current stage, NewChain MainNet still run with PoA (Proof-of-Authority) consensus mechanism for producing blocks. There are two prerequisites for running a Mainnet ledger node:
-
NewChain Mainnet ledger nodes shall run a NewChain Testnet node first, ensuring the stability of the network.
-
NewChain Mainnet ledger nodes shall stake 10 million NEW in NewPay, avoiding any harm from the potential dishonest participant.
NewChain nodes are important co-builders of Newton infrastructure. The Newton NewChain test network and main network are fully open. Individuals can access the NewChain test network and main network according to this instruction. After accessing the main network, they can obtain transaction fees on the main network by participating in distributed bookkeeping and generating blocks.
At the current stage, the NewChain mainnet still uses the PoA consensus mechanism to generate blocks. According to its characteristics, there are two prerequisites for running the main network accounting node to ensure that the main network miners are loyal and will not cause damage to the network and ensure the stability of the network.
-
NewChain mainnet bookkeeping node The ledger node should first run the NewChain testnet bookkeeping node.
-
The NewChain mainnet accounting node should establish a human community node in NewPay and lock 10 million NEW.
