Overview

The page provides general information about ITA Blockchain network masternodes, their role in the ecosystem, requirements for installation, and the terms and pledge amount.

1. What are "Masternodes"?

Masternodes are the primary nodes of the blockchain network, playing a critical role in its operation.

They perform several essential tasks, including:

• Block and Hash Validation:

Masternodes verify transactions and create new blocks, ensuring the integrity and security of the network.

• Synchronization:

Masternodes connect with other nodes in the network, maintaining decentralization and reliability.

• Network Stability:

Masternodes contribute to network resilience, participate in the consensus mechanism, and ensure an even distribution of workload.

2. Role of Masternodes in the ITA Network

Masternodes in the ITA Blockchain are key components of the Proof-of-Game (PoG) consensus. They work in tandem with gaming clients to perform the following tasks:

• Machine Learning Utilization:

Masternodes use built-in ML models to analyze gaming activity, ensuring the data provided by players is legitimate and preventing fraud or manipulation.

• Analyzing the Usefulness of Gaming Activity:

Masternodes validate whether the player actions are legitimate and beneficial to the network.

• Security Enhancement:

By confirming transactions and preventing attacks, masternodes ensure the stable operation of the network.

3. Requirements for Setting Up an ITA Masternode

• Hardware Requirements

Detailed hardware requirements for setting up a masternode are provided in the installation guide.

• Collateral Requirement

Masternodes are rewarded in ITA tokens, which are generated for performing functions on the network. To operate a masternode, a collateral of 500,000 $PAC tokens is required.

$PAC is the token of the primary project team, based on the OctaSpace blockchain.

4. Where to Acquire Tokens for Collateral?

$PAC tokens can be bought or sold on the MEXC exchange.

5. Additional Conditions

The 500,000 $PAC tokens used as collateral are non-refundable and remain under the management of the team, symbolizing the long-term commitment of the masternode operator to supporting and developing the ITA Blockchain ecosystem.

A portion of $PAC tokens generated from ITA masternode sales will be burned. This mechanism supports a deflationary model, helping manage $PAC token issuance and maintaining its value and stability over time.
