Node Architecture

The design of the Full Nodes in the Griffin AI network is structured into three distinct layers: the Connectivity Layer, the Functional Layer, and the Core Layer. Each layer plays a critical role in the operation of the nodes, specifically designed to handle functions essential to the network's performance and to fulfill the intended purpose of the nodes. An overview of the structure of the node is depicted in the figure below.

Despite the diversity in the roles of node operators – such as Service Providers (SP), Client Providers (CP), and Guardians – the architecture across all full nodes is identical. Role specific requirements are implemented in dedicated modules within the Functional and Core layers.
