Recently, more and more developers and communities on the market have developed a strong interest in super nodes. Currency friends who know about virtual currencies know that a super node is a kind of master node, which is composed of different master nodes. With this explanation, the meaning of super node is still very confusing to most newbies in the currency circle. So, what does super node mean? Below, the editor of the currency circle will briefly explain what is a super node? I hope that through this article everyone can understand the meaning of super nodes.

 What does super node mean?

The EOS white paper calls super nodes "block producers", which refers to those nodes that collect, package, and verify transaction information into blocks, which is the basis for the stable operation of the EOS network. Based on BFT-
The DPoS consensus mechanism currently (as of 2018.6.25) EOS stipulates that there are 21 super nodes and 49 backup nodes in the network.

EOS is a community-driven project, so the number of super nodes is not static. If the number of super nodes cannot meet the development of the project, community members can vote to increase the number of super nodes.

 How to become a super node

If you want to be elected as an EOS super node, you need to meet a series of criteria before you can participate in the election, and then you can be elected as a super node only after you get a certain number of votes. There are a total of the following criteria:

1\. Public display: The campaign team needs to have its own public website (at least one social media account for public display);

2\.
Have your own account on steemit to introduce campaign node information, including: campaign node name, team (company) location; server type and possible location; list of relevant campaign team personnel, and upload at least 67% of the photos of relevant personnel and Professional background and other information;

3\.
Technical specifications: As of June 3, 2018, the campaign team is to publish an evaluation of technical specifications such as equipment and a total expenditure budget on Steemit. These information will be permanently retained on steemit, so the technical specification evaluation must be cautious, and all evaluations must be checked; the EOS community will evaluate the quality and reliability of the evaluation results;

4\. Expansion plan: After June 3, that is, after the mainnet is online, the expansion plan and evaluation of hardware and other aspects will be announced on steemit. The evaluation results must be initially verified and made public;

5\. Community benefits: As of June 3, 2018, teams with public projects will publish an overview of project benefits on steemit;

6\. Telegram group + test network: List the names of the telegram groups and test network nodes participating in the test network;

7\. The roadmap of the campaign node, including: team values, community plans, fund use and transparency, and other important matters considered by the candidate nodes;

How to view node dividends, including: whether dividends will be distributed to voters in the future; and whether relevant regulations prohibiting dividends have been formulated. If so, relevant links need to be provided.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone already has an understanding of super nodes. Because the super nodes enable a decentralized voting mechanism, they are more democratic than other consensus algorithms and are not easily monopolized by big players in the currency circle. In addition, due to the reduction in the number of nodes and reliance on the super node algorithm, the efficiency of task execution is improved. It will be even higher, which is incomparable to the POW and POS mechanisms.
