📚Glossary

• Opnode Nodes: Decentralized computing infrastructure components provided by Opnode, allowing users to access scalable and secure computational resources.

• Decentralized Computing: A model of computing where computational tasks and data are distributed across multiple nodes in a network, rather than being concentrated in a single centralized server or data center.

• Distributed Network: A network architecture where computing resources and data are spread across multiple nodes, allowing for redundancy, scalability, and fault tolerance.

• Resource Allocation: The process of assigning and managing computing resources, such as CPU, memory, and storage, to different tasks and applications based on demand and availability.

• Token Incentives: Rewards provided to users for participating in a decentralized network, typically in the form of cryptocurrency tokens, as an incentive for contributing computational power, validating transactions, or performing other network functions.

• Staking Rewards: Incentives earned by users for staking or locking up cryptocurrency tokens as collateral to participate in network activities, such as block validation or governance voting.

• Transaction Fees: Charges levied on users for executing transactions on a blockchain network, which are typically paid to node operators as compensation for processing and validating transactions.

• Decentralized Governance: A system of governance where decision-making authority is distributed among network participants, allowing users to collectively make decisions about the operation and development of the network through consensus mechanisms such as voting or delegation.

• Scalability: The ability of a system to handle increasing amounts of work or demand by adding resources or expanding capacity without compromising performance or reliability.

• Resilience: The ability of a system to maintain its functionality and performance in the face of disruptions, failures, or attacks, often achieved through redundancy, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery mechanisms.

• Community Engagement: Active participation and involvement of users, developers, and stakeholders in the operation, governance, and development of a decentralized network or ecosystem.

• Control Panel: A user interface or dashboard that allows users to monitor, manage, and configure their computing resources and network settings in a centralized manner.

• Blockchain: A decentralized, distributed ledger technology that records transactions across multiple computers in a verifiable and immutable manner.

• Consensus Mechanism: A set of rules and protocols used by decentralized networks to achieve agreement among participants on the validity of transactions and the state of the network.

• Encryption: The process of encoding data in such a way that only authorized parties can access and decipher it, ensuring confidentiality and security.

• Routing Technologies: Technologies used to determine the optimal path for data packets to travel across a network, ensuring efficient and reliable communication between devices.

• Privacy: The ability of individuals to control access to their personal information and data, protecting it from unauthorized access, surveillance, and misuse.

• Modular Architecture: An architectural design approach where a system is composed of independent, interchangeable modules or components, allowing for flexibility, scalability, and easy maintenance.

• Interoperability: The ability of different systems, networks, and technologies to seamlessly exchange data and operate together, enabling collaboration and integration across disparate platforms.

• Smart Contracts: Self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement directly written into code, allowing for automated and trustless execution of transactions and agreements on a blockchain.

• Governance Model: The framework and processes used to make decisions, enforce rules, and manage the operation and development of a decentralized network or organization.

• Cryptographic Protocols: Protocols and algorithms used to secure communications, authenticate users, and ensure the integrity and confidentiality of data in a decentralized network.

• Fault Tolerance: The ability of a system to continue functioning properly even in the presence of faults, errors, or failures, often achieved through redundancy and error detection and correction mechanisms.

• Redundancy: Duplication of critical components or resources within a system to provide backup or failover capabilities, increasing reliability and resilience.

• Digital Sovereignty: The concept of individuals or entities having control over their digital assets, data, and identity, free from centralized authority or surveillance.

• Edge Computing: A distributed computing paradigm where data processing and storage are performed closer to the data source or end-user device, reducing latency, bandwidth usage, and reliance on centralized data centers.

• Network Security: The protection of computer networks and data from unauthorized access, misuse, or disruption, achieved through a combination of hardware, software, and procedural measures to safeguard against cyber threats and vulnerabilities.

• LangChain Technology: LangChain technology is a consensus mechanism that leverages AI algorithms to optimize transaction validation and block generation.

• LLMs (Language Models): LLMs, or Language Models, are advanced models to enhance communication and interaction of models and enable natural language processing (NLP) capabilities.

• TensorFlow: TensorFlow refers to an open-source machine learning framework, which enables developers to build and deploy AI-powered applications.
