Blockchain Infrastructure Layer
At the base of StarMiner’s Three-Layer Architecture lies the Blockchain Infrastructure Layer the foundational trust and settlement engine of the protocol. It serves as the immutable, verifiable environment where all critical system actions are recorded, token flows are executed, and decentralized governance is enforced.
This layer ensures that computational coordination, financial incentives, and identity management are secure, auditable, and permissionless core requirements for any global compute marketplace to operate fairly and at scale.
Key Functions
1. Smart Contract Execution
The layer powers the execution of all protocol logic through smart contracts, including:
Compute job initiation and termination
AGPU and AMAX token issuance, transfer, and staking
Compute provider registration and benchmarking
Dynamic pricing curves and incentive allocation
Governance voting and proposal management
Every job submission, staking action, or payout is transparently recorded on-chain, allowing any user to audit the economic logic and operational state of the network in real time.
2. Token Economy Settlement
Both AGPU (utility) and AMAX (governance) tokens operate on this layer:
AGPU is used to pay for compute access and reward resource providers
AMAX grants participation in protocol governance, treasury allocation, and parameter tuning
Transfers, escrow contracts, dynamic lockups, and emission tracking are all governed by deterministic smart contract logic. This ensures economic consistency across all participants, whether they are node operators, users, or stakers.
3. On-Chain Identity and Role Assignment
Every actor in the StarMiner ecosystem from validator nodes to GPU providers is registered on-chain using unique cryptographic identities. These identities are tied to:
Reputation metrics
Performance history
Geographic and hardware metadata
Role classification (provider, validator, oracle, requester)
This decentralized identity model enables trustless matchmaking in the compute protocol layer and supports future integrations with DID standards and cross-chain user profiles.
4. Interoperability and Bridging
StarMiner’s infrastructure layer is built on Armonia MetaChain, a performance-optimized blockchain that supports:
EVM compatibility for seamless smart contract development
Cross-chain bridging to external ecosystems (Ethereum, BNB Chain, Cosmos, etc.)
Asset wrapping to onboard external tokens, RWA tokens, and stablecoins into the compute economy
This design enables StarMiner to act as a computational backend for external protocols, including DeFi platforms, Web3 data systems, and AI-focused dApps.
5. Auditability and Transparency
All transactions, job logs, and reward distributions are publicly verifiable on-chain. Users and auditors can:
Trace compute task execution from submission to completion
Verify node performance claims
Audit token issuance and emissions
Track governance voting histories
This reinforces StarMiner’s core principle: computation as a public good, governed and verified by the community.
Strategic Benefits
Immutable Trust Layer: Prevents censorship, manipulation, or central control of compute flows.
Programmable Economic Logic: Incentives and penalties are applied automatically, without need for intermediaries.
Global Accessibility: Any wallet or user can interact with the network through standard blockchain interfaces.
Security Hardening: Leverages the consensus and validator model of Armonia MetaChain, inheriting its Byzantine fault tolerance.
The Blockchain Infrastructure Layer is more than just a ledger — it is the coordination kernel of StarMiner’s decentralized AI economy. It replaces central scheduling systems, cloud accounts, and payment processors with programmable contracts and cryptographic guarantees.
