To become a transmitter within the UIP framework, individuals or organizations need to follow a straightforward process designed for accessibility and efficiency. Here’s a brief overview of the steps involved:
Token Requirements: Transmitters must hold the native tokens of the respective blockchains they wish to operate on, along with a staked balance of $NGL tokens. This staking is essential for securing their position within the UIP network.
Node Setup: Setting up a transmitter node is designed to be simple, requiring minimal technical expertise and resources. The configuration process allows transmitters to become operational quickly, contributing to network resilience and decentralization.
Dual Functionality: Once established, transmitters perform dual roles as transmitters and executors. They transmit messages across networks while also executing transactions by covering processing costs on preferred destination network.
Participation and Maintenance: Transmitter nodes operate with low computational power and storage requirements, enabling widespread participation. Maintenance is also simplified, allowing transmitters to focus on their core functions without complex technical upkeep.
By following these steps, participants can effectively join the UIP ecosystem as transmitters, contributing to the secure and efficient cross-chain messaging framework
Transmitters and Super Transmitters play distinct roles within UIP, contributing to its overall functionality and security.
Transmitters
Transmitters function as lightweight nodes that facilitate message transmission and execution of transactions across connected blockchain networks. They are responsible for signing message requests, ensuring secure and verified communication. Each transmitter operates tethered to a specific blockchain, which allows them to specialize in that network's protocols while also maintaining a staked balance of $NGL tokens for network security. Transmitters can operate across multiple networks but are limited to a single network's parameters at any given time. Their dual role as transmitters and executors enables them to cover processing costs for transactions, enhancing the efficiency of the UIP messaging system.
Super Transmitters
On the other hand, Super Transmitters provide an additional layer of oversight and security within the UIP framework. Unlike transmitters, super-transmitters do not execute transactions; instead, they oversee the transaction process by confirming or rejecting messages originating from transmitters. This role is crucial for mitigating potential fraudulent activities, as super-transmitters enhance scrutiny and governance without being directly involved in transaction execution. Super-transmitters may include public figures or reputable organizations, adding credibility to the protocol's operations. Their independent function strengthens the overall decentralization and security of the UIP messaging system, ensuring that transactions are thoroughly vetted before proceeding.
1st Testnet Stage: Entangle Super Transmitter
In the initial phase, the focus is on integrating the Entangle Super Transmitter. This stage allows for the establishment of a foundational layer of interoperability, where the Entangle Super transmitters oversees transactions and ensures secure message transmission between networks. By concentrating on this singular super transmitters, the protocol can refine its mechanisms for transaction validation and governance, setting the stage for more complex interactions.
2nd Testnet Stage: Third-Party Super Transmitters
The second stage expands the testing environment to include third-party Super Transmitters. This phase introduces additional layers of oversight and validation from various independent entities, enhancing the security and decentralization of the UIP framework. By incorporating multiple super transmitters, the protocol can better simulate real-world conditions, allowing for comprehensive testing of its scalability and efficiency in handling cross-chain communications across diverse blockchain networks.
