Soarchain - Runner Drop

Overview of Runners

Runner Nodes are specialized nodes within the Soarchain network that employ a layer-2 scaling solution that handles a significant portion of data processing tasks like a decentralized sequencer. They serve two main functions:

Scalability - Their primary purpose is to offload work from the main blockchain by data management, collecting public keys, forming Merkle trees and sending the summaries to the main blockchain. This addresses scalability issues by reducing the load and congestion on the primary network. This setup allows Soarchain to handle an increased volume of transactions and data without a proportional increase in network load.

Verification - Runners also verify the highly mobile data. It uses basic preliminary anomaly detection algorithms to check the integrity, plausibility and authenticity of the data and introduces a scoring mechanism to punish a malicious provider.
