EcoBall is an open, universal, and compatible multi-chain parallel blockchain operating system.EcoBall Node system is a unique network of nodes that keep the EcoBall decentralized and running. It consists of supernodes (standing 21+128 reserved), sharding block nodes( number unlimited), and the storage network nodes (number unlimited).
Supernodes (standing 21+128 reserved)
We call it supernode because it performs more functions than “traditional” network node, and there are different requirements for supernode owners. EcoBall is open and decentralized, and anyone will be able to run a supernode.Supernodes are expected to be high performance and reliable nodes. They are regularly tested on their bandwidth, chain height, chain parts, computing power, and responsiveness to make sure that they are performing to high standards. If they meet all these requirements, they are given rewards. EcoBall has 149 supernodes(standing 21+128 reserved, rotated through the algorithm). See the comparison list.
Sharding block nodes( number unlimited)
Sharding splits up the state of the network into multiple shards or pieces, where each piece has its own transaction history and portion of the network’s state. (The state is composed of all the information on what the network looks like at one specific moment, for example, the number of transactions that have been processed, the balances at each address, etc.)
For example, in one sharding mechanism, a certain amount of addresses could be confined to a certain shard. In other words, all addresses beginning with 0x00 could go into shard 1, all addresses beginning with 0x01 could go into shard 2, and so on and so forth. Each new transaction on each individual shard would change the state of that shard only.
Every single shard processes its own portion of the state of the network, which allows multiple transactions to be verified in parallel instead of one transaction having to be processed by every single node. In this way, the network would be able to process transactions much, much faster.
we can see sort of the “top level” of the protocol, wherein each block we store two roots; one that describes the state of the network, which is divided into shards, and one that contains the information about all the verified collation headers. This means that the “longest chain” of each shard is the longest chain that contains every single collation that has been put onto the main chain.
With the unlimited number of sharding nodes, Ecoball can achieve high throughput.
The storage network nodes (number unlimited).
A storage node is typically a physical server with one or more hard-disk drives (HDDs) or solid-state drives (SDDs).
A storage node can also be a virtual machine or virtual LUN with access to one or more HDDs and/or SSDs. Virtual storage nodes have historically been less common due to the potential consequence of unpredictable performance and latency. The emergence of virtual storage area network (VSAN) technology has led to an increase in the use of virtual storage nodes.
A collection of storage nodes is often clustered together and managed through software as a single pool of storage. One of the main advantages of a system that uses multiple storage nodes is data availability in the event of a component failure. If an HDD or SDD or a storage node fails, the system is able to continue to deliver data from the working nodes.
High profits potential for running nodes in EcoBall system
There is high profits potential for running nodes in EcoBall system. The EcoBall whitepaper says that 70% ABA(EcoBall token) will be used for nodes rewards. That is to say, 70% of 2.1 billion ABA(the total amount of token) will be used for node rewards. With the EcoBall system gradually gain traction, the value of ABA will increase sharply. Running nodes in EcoBall will be a stable way of earning a great amount of ABA.
