Network roles.

Produces and finalizes blocks via HotStuff-2. Requires a staked TNZO deposit and a stable network. TEE attestation grants 1.5× leader-selection weight. Equivocation slashes 10% of stake.

Serves inference for one or more registered models. The router schedules requests; health monitoring and reputation update per request. Earns TNZO per inference settled. The same role can also rent out spare compute — see Compute rental.

Rents out spare capacity by the epoch. Each epoch settles against a valid availability proof; settlement streams one epoch-slice at a time. Fixed or network-dynamic pricing. Rides the same stake that backs serving a model. Consumers pay from their TNZO balance; the provider earns into theirs.

Offers free disk as content-addressed storage. Billed per byte-epoch; each epoch settles against a proof of retrievability. Shares one stake and one coverage budget with compute rental.

Hosts confidential compute or sealed key management inside an attested enclave. Quotes are anchored on-chain. Tenants pay for enclave time in TNZO.

Verifies headers and selectively replays state without storing the full chain. Suitable for desktops, mobile, resource-constrained machines. NAT traversal uses Circuit-Relay v2 plus DCUtR.

A node stakes once. Every role it takes on registers its obligations against that single stake through a shared coverage tracker. When the stake can no longer cover everything owed — a withdrawal, a slash, a new obligation — the node sheds obligations until the rest fits. There is no per-service bond.

The CLI detects role-appropriate capacity at install time, including free disk available to offer as storage.
