V. Node Roles
0 min
MOVA’s network is powered by multi-role nodes collaborating under a clear division of responsibilities, ensuring decentralization, scalability, and compliance.
5.1 Node Categories & Responsibilities
- Gateway Nodes Convert off-chain requests into on-chain standard formats; connect wallets, POS, enterprise systems.
- Verification Nodes Pre-process transactions, validate signatures, execute contracts, generate read/write sets.
- Consensus Nodes Vote on events and maintain final ledger ordering.
- Sync/Witness Nodes Keep full ledger copies, replay transactions, support fast sync.
- Light Nodes Keep only account-related data for wallet/POS/mobile devices; verify transactions locally.
- Storage Nodes Store KYC, invoices, payment proofs, contracts in fragmented encrypted storage.
5.2 Deployment Strategy
- SMEs: Gateway + Verification nodes
- Clearing institutions: Consensus + Storage nodes
- Wallet developers: Light node or SDK access
- Cross-border payment providers: Multi-regional sync nodes for compliance
5.3 Node Incentives & Governance (Optional)
Future governance can enable:
- Staking for consensus nodes
- Block rewards + fee sharing
- Reputation-based slashing
