What are Super Transmitters

Super Transmitters are specialized validators that enhance security and decentralization by validating cross-chain messages without executing transactions. They add a layer of scrutiny to confirm or reject messages, reducing fraud risks. Often public figures or trusted entities, they play a key role in achieving consensus and receive a share of protocol revenue as compensation for maintaining network reliability.

The Role of Super Transmitters

The concept of the Super Transmitter introduces an additional layer of security and decentralization within the message transmission system. The Super Transmitter acts as both a counterbalance to regular transmitters and a facilitator for their connections. Key characteristics include:

• Transaction Oversight: Unlike regular transmitters, Super Transmitters do not engage in executing operations on the destination network. Instead, they confirm or reject transactions originating from the source network, adding an extra layer of scrutiny.

• Public Figures as Transmitters: The role can be assumed by public figures such as companies or influencers, whose accounts are integrated through Governance or DAO. This approach leverages their credibility to enhance trust within the network.

Super Transmitters play a critical role in the security and decentralization of UIP. These trusted entities—potentially public figures or organizations—validate transactions without executing them, adding a layer of scrutiny to ensure message integrity. Initially, only Entangle transmitters will act as Super Transmitters for controlled testing and refinement.

Super Transmitters are rewarded by receiving a percentage of the income generated by regular transmitters. The specific share of income allocated to Super Transmitters is determined through feedback from the community and the transmitters themselves, ensuring a balanced distribution of rewards. This reward structure incentivizes Super Transmitters to maintain high levels of reliability and trust within the network.
