Haven’t heard about Vshard yet? Well, we run validator nodes for the community. You never have to worry about setting up complex & efficient system, or down time & node rotations. The rewards gained by running the validator nodes are distributed among the community.
Cool, right? How to become a part of this community, you ask? Own a Vshard NFT, that is all the steps you got to do. Let’s jump into the topic in hand now!
Where is our nodes are running?
Vshard run nodes in multiple regions such as, US, EU, Asia Pacific, South America, Middle East, Africa, Mumbai, etc. By running nodes in multiple regions, these systems offers three major advantages.
Faster transactions
Vshard's regional nodes are strategically designed to ensure that transactions originating from any region are processed by a validator node located in close proximity, resulting in faster transaction processing times. The regional node's high responsiveness and low latency provide an efficient validation process. This regional node architecture provides a significant competitive advantage over personally running a node, as it ensures that transactions are processed quickly and reliably, even during periods of high traffic or network congestion.
Fault tolerance
In the unlikely event that all validator nodes in a single region go down due to some unforeseen circumstances, Vshard's regional validator nodes ensures that transactions are transmitted to nearby regions until they reach a functioning validator node and are verified. With Vshard's regional node system, validator nodes are strategically placed in all nearby regions, ensuring that transactions are verified with minimal delay even in worst-case scenarios. This redundancy in the network architecture adds an extra layer of security and ensures that the system remains highly available, reliable, and responsive to on demand transactions.
Maximise your rewards with Vshard's continuous validation
With Vshard's regional nodes, users can enjoy a consistent flow of daily rewards as the nodes are run simultaneously by the community. This ensures that all users benefit from a steady stream of rewards. In contrast, Shardeum's node rotation mechanism can lead to inconsistent rewards for users who run only a few personal validation nodes. Thereby offering a reliable and rewarding solution.
Why choose Vshard?
Setting up a validator node can be done in one of two ways. The first method involves owning all the necessary hardware to set up the node, ensuring uninterrupted power and internet supply, and configuring the system. This approach is straightforward but requires a significant capital investment. The second method is more plausible and involves using third-party servers to run the node. These providers manage uptime and maintenance, while the node owner monitors and manages the servers in case of any tuning requirements. Regardless of the method chosen, setting up validator nodes in various regions is not a simple task, especially without a decent capital to fund multiple validator nodes. However, with Vshard's distributed network of validator nodes, users can benefit from the security and efficiency of a well-distributed system without having to set up multiple nodes themselves.
Regional node vs Single node?
Let’s compare the two scenarios side by side. Vshard is running numerous nodes spread across various regions & assume John Doe is running his single node in a region X. The transactions created in any region will be transmitted to a validator node that is closest to them. This will give John Doe a great disadvantage in the number of transactions validated by John Doe’s node.
Because of node rotation, John Doe's node will be put to a short term of inactivity & validation processes are given to other inert nodes in the network. This makes John Doe’s node validate even lesser number of transactions. Whereas on the other hand, Vshard runs a multiple number of validator nodes simultaneously, thereby making the effects of node rotation negligible in the rewards distributed among the community.
Conclusion
Vshard offers a well-distributed network of regional validator nodes that ensures fast, reliable, and consistent transaction processing times. With Vshard, users benefit from a secure and efficient system without the hassle and capital investment required to set up multiple personal validation nodes. By owning a Vshard NFT, users can join the community and enjoy a steady stream of daily rewards. So why settle for a single personal validation node when you can maximise your rewards and security with Vshard's regional nodes? Join Vshard today and experience the benefits of a well-managed validator pool!
