Hash Network Layers

The Hash Network Layers form the core architecture of the ecosystem, designed to ensure decentralized, secure, and efficient content access and management. This multi-layered structure is divided into the DePIN Layer and the Value Layer. The DePIN Layer handles the physical infrastructure through Gateway and Guardian Nodes, facilitating decentralized content delivery and network security. The Value Layer supports the economic and operational functions via smart contracts, ensuring the provenance, permanence, and prioritization of content. Together, these layers provide a robust and scalable foundation for the Hash Network

DePIN Layer (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network)

The DePIN Layer forms the physical backbone of the Hash Network, comprising:

• Gateway Nodes: Manage decentralized content access and caching.

• Guardian Nodes: Ensure the integrity and security of transactions within the network.

Value Layer

The Value Layer includes a suite of smart contracts that automate and secure network functions:

• Provenance Smart Contract: Manages the verification and traceability of content.

• Permanence Smart Contract: Ensures long-term content availability and redundancy.

• Prioritization Smart Contract: Organizes and prioritizes content based on relevance and recency.
