Seeing this question, many investors know very little about it. Before answering this question, the editor of the currency circle will first introduce to you what is a node? Nodes refer to computers in the blockchain network, including mobile phones, mining machines and Servers, etc., are blockchains participated by a large number of individuals or family users, and each individual or family is a node of the blockchain. After understanding the meaning of nodes, let’s return to the topic, what is a super node? Below, the editor of the currency circle will give you a simple explanation of what a super node is? I hope that through this article, investors can understand the super node.

 What is a super node?

EOS uses the DPOS (Delegated Proof of Equity) consensus mechanism, which is different from the traditional POW (Proof of Work) and POS (Proof of Equity), so EOS belongs to blockchain 3.0. The biggest advantage of this method is that Fast and efficient. We all know that Bitcoin can complete 7 transactions per second, but EOS can complete millions of transactions per second. However, in order to reach millions of transactions per second, the number of nodes must be reduced. Therefore, 21 super nodes will be elected this time. These 21 super nodes can just balance the degree of decentralization of EOS and the efficiency of block production. accomplish
The DPOS algorithm requires 21 super nodes and 100 backup nodes. Currently, 21 super nodes are competing and elected.

EOS super nodes are equivalent to 21 mayors in a country, who are the managers of the normal operation of the country. Everyone who holds EOS is an ordinary voter. You need to elect the mayor you think is capable to make this country more efficient. Prosperity, so the EOS in your hand will be more valuable.

To put it simply, everyone uses their EOS Tokens to vote for all the node candidates. Whoever gets more votes can be elected as the master node.

 Characteristics and advantages of super nodes:

Super nodes are the specific practice of DPOS consensus. First of all, due to the use of a decentralized voting mechanism, DPOS is more democratic than other consensus algorithms and is not easily monopolized by large currency holders.

The generation of 36 super nodes (12 of which are reserved for future CRC) are all generated by fair and impartial voting. if
If the 36 node representatives are unable to perform their duties, for example, when it is their turn to work and fail to generate blocks in time, they will be removed from the list, and the community will select a new super node to replace them.

Secondly, due to the reduced number of nodes, the 36 super nodes operate more efficiently. It is said that under optimal conditions, one million levels of data per second can be achieved
TPS. This has completely destroyed the operating efficiency of all current public chains, and the future is immeasurable.

Although the number of super nodes is generally small, and some "decentralization" elements are sacrificed, it will not lead to the disadvantages of centralization, because any node that does not abide by the super node constitution will be rejected by democratic voting. replace.

In addition, the order of block production of these 36 nodes and the order of review of transactions across the entire network are randomly set by the system and can change at any time. This can not only upgrade efficiently, but also prevent cheating and hard forks.

The last thing to mention is that the number of super nodes can be flexible and is not permanent. When the number of super nodes cannot meet the development of the project, the community can initiate a vote to increase the number of nodes.

 Responsibilities of super nodes:

1. Provide server nodes to ensure the normal operation of the nodes

2. The node server collects transactions in the network

3. The node verifies the transaction and packages the transaction into the block.

4. The node broadcasts the block, and other nodes add the block to their own database after verification.

5. Ensure and promote the development of blockchain projects

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has an understanding of super nodes. In fact, the blockchain infrastructure must be maintained by nodes, and a transaction must have consensus. The function of super nodes, mainly consensus nodes, is to recognize legitimacy; of course super nodes are not particularly magical, in fact, the mining site, but once it starts, it may be different, and the difference depends on how the node wants to exploit EOS ecosystem.
