NCN Overview

What is a Node Consensus Network (NCN)?

A Node Consensus Network (NCN) on Jito Restaking is simply a distributed network that validates and confirms information.

  • Node: A piece of software running the required protocols as specified by the node consensus network.
  • Node Consensus Network (NCN): A set of nodes running software for the same network, working together to achieve consensus and provide services.
  • Operator: An entity that manages one or more nodes in the node consensus network.

What Can You Create as an NCN?

NCN design encompasses a wide range of possibilities, covering any off-chain service that can be validated on-chain. This flexibility empowers NCN developers to craft custom validation mechanisms tailored to the specific needs of their services. The sole requirement is that some form of proof for the off-chain service's execution must be submitted on-chain to facilitate its validation.

Examples of NCNs include:

  • Blockchains
  • Cross-chain bridges
  • Co-processor networks
  • Interoperability solutions
  • Applications
  • Solver networks
  • Oracle networks
  • And more!
