Block validation

Validation is one of the most important elements for the sustainability of a blockchain. The PoA protocol is eco friendly. It doesn't require a lot of computing power and it's economical in electricity because a simple Raspberry PI computer (3, 4 or 5) is enough for validation. The time made available for the Ntity network is rewarded according to the allocation for validators.

The rules

• The total number of anonymous nodes shall not exceed 33% of the total network of nodes in order to prevent a 51% attack and keep the network sustainable.
• Each anonymous node must have a unique public IPv4.
• For each hour of validation, the validator will receive a corresponding NTT sum, distributed equally among all validators. After a certain point, beyond 99 years, the validator can only benefit from incentives linked to gas costs.
• Minimum average uptime is 75% per day
• Reward will be given once per day (each 8640 blocks)
• The rule is first come, first served, In order to register and become a validator, you need to deploy a Ntity:AddPeer certificate.
• a running-in period was necessary to stabilize the blockchain. Up to block 15´000´000, only Cryptolex-owned nodes were used, but no rewards were received.

As an example at year 2 if there are 50 validators and the rate is 63´360 NTT/day, each validator will receive 1´267 NTT/day
