Three-Layer Architecture
StarMiner is architected as a multi-layered protocol stack designed to coordinate decentralized compute infrastructure at scale. Its Three-Layer Architecture separates concerns across execution, intelligence, and interaction enabling modular growth, fault isolation, and highly efficient scheduling of GPU-intensive workloads.
This design allows StarMiner to function simultaneously as a decentralized supercomputer, a global GPU marketplace, and a DeFi-integrated coordination layer for AI, rendering, and high-performance computing (HPC).
Layer 1: Blockchain Infrastructure Layer
This foundational layer handles all trust, security, settlement, and token logic. Built on Armonia MetaChain, this layer offers:
Smart contract infrastructure for job execution, staking, and reward distribution
On-chain identity systems to register and verify compute providers, validators, and clients
Ledger transparency for job outcomes, token flows, and historical compute transactions
Interoperability through cross-chain bridges and wrapped assets (e.g., RWA tokens)
This layer ensures that StarMiner's economic incentives are verifiable, auditable, and censorship-resistant, forming the trust backbone for decentralized coordination.
Layer 2: Computing Protocol Layer
This is the orchestration and intelligence layer, responsible for translating demand into action.
It manages:
Task registration and classification (e.g., AI training, rendering, inference)
Dynamic matchmaking between tasks and providers, using attributes like GPU type, task urgency, latency sensitivity, and region
Reputation scoring for node performance, task reliability, and compliance
Multi-Tier Pricing (MTP) engine to dynamically adjust AGPU cost based on demand-supply imbalances
Matrix Spillover logic to route overflow tasks to alternate zones or nodes in real time
This layer acts as the brain of the protocol, ensuring compute flows where it’s needed most, based on real-world usage conditions and economic fairness.
Layer 3: Application Layer
The topmost layer is where developers, enterprises, and users interface with StarMiner's computing infrastructure. It abstracts blockchain and orchestration complexity through:
SDKs and APIs for seamless integration with dApps, enterprise platforms, or AI pipelines
Developer portals and GUI dashboards for monitoring compute jobs, wallet balances, and node status
Tooling for job scripting, real-time visualization, and job lifecycle control
Prebuilt templates and libraries for common workloads (e.g., Stable Diffusion, LLM fine-tuning, Unreal Engine rendering)
This layer enables StarMiner to function like a programmable cloud platform but one powered by decentralized resources and priced by transparent token economics.
Why It Matters
By decoupling blockchain consensus, task coordination, and user interaction, StarMiner ensures that:
Each layer can evolve independently
Bottlenecks in one domain (e.g., UI or node capacity) don’t compromise the system as a whole
New use cases from enterprise AI to real-time gaming can onboard with minimal friction
This separation also allows specialized optimization:
Blockchain layer optimized for finality and security
Computing protocol optimized for scheduling and liquidity
Application layer optimized for usability and composability
In short, StarMiner’s Three-Layer Architecture reflects the core principles of decentralized infrastructure design: modularity, transparency, and performance at scale.
