Validator
Validators provide cross-chain transaction security.
Validators from other networks will be able to earn UniLayer’s native ULR tokens as a reward for participating in the UniLayer network. Deploying embedded Unilayer nodes on top of an existing infrastructure will allow providers to get rewards for validation.
Here you go, this is the easiest way to become a part of the next gen network!
Collator
Collators act as native nodes in partner networks. They collect information in partner chains, generate draft blocks using signed blocks, and create messages that UniLayer’s validators use for confirmation.
Collators are an integral part of the Logic - a cross-chain control logic layer that can integrate and direct smart contracts across multiple blockchains.
Collator nodes receive rewards for this work.
Mixed Type Node
Mixed Type Nodes combine the functions of Validators and Collators. They not only participate at the transfer level but also add an augmented layer of security thanks to the uDPOS algorithm they use.
MTNs ensure true decentralization, providing the highest possible level of omnichain transaction security.
Once deployed on top of an existing partners' chain infrastructure, MNTs generate additional reward in native ULR tokens.
