Operator / Data Provider FAQ

Are there any staking requirements to become a Data Provider?​

For any decentralized system to thrive, an effective incentive structure is essential, particularly for ensuring proper conduct within the network. Therefore, Data Providers must stake at least 100,000 APV tokens. These staked assets act as collateral, allowing operators to participate in the consensus process. While staked, the assets are held in escrow on the network, making them unavailable to the token holders during this period.

What are the minimum system requirements to become a Data Provider?​

Vertical and horizontal sharding are two techniques used to enhance the scalability of a system's infrastructure. Vertical sharding, also known as vertical partitioning, involves dividing a database into smaller, more manageable pieces based on columns or specific attributes. This allows different parts of the data to be stored and processed independently, optimizing performance and resource allocation. On the other hand, horizontal sharding, or horizontal partitioning, splits the database into rows, distributing them across multiple servers. This approach enables the system to handle increased loads by adding more servers, thus improving scalability. Together, these sharding methods allow for flexible scaling both up and down, accommodating varying levels of demand. As a result, it becomes feasible to operate only a portion of the system on a low-end machine, efficiently utilizing resources without compromising on performance.

Will slashing exist on the Api-Verse network?​

Slashing will exist on the Api-Verse network eventually but it requires some time to be introduced. In the meantime slashing is replaced by not providing the rewards to the operators.

Can operator change rewards wallet address?​

Yes. It is possible via interacting with the smart conract dedicated for the operators.
