Infographic #6: Node Startup Sequence

Setting up a #Cortensor Node involves a structured six-step process to ensure security, efficiency, and seamless participation in AI inference tasks. Here’s how nodes go live and integrate into the decentralized network:

🔄 Step-by-Step Node Initialization:

1️⃣ Cortensor Daemon Configuration & Setup ⚙️
Initializes the core software and applies network parameters for smooth operation.
2️⃣ Decentralized Storage Initialization 🏗️
Prepares local & distributed storage layers, ensuring data persistence and integrity.
3️⃣ Network Authorization 🔐
The node authenticates with the network, verifying credentials and permissions.
4️⃣ AI Model Verification 🤖
Validates local AI models to ensure compatibility with Cortensor’s inference tasks.
5️⃣ Network Heartbeat Initialization 📡
Begins pinging the network, tracking uptime & availability for NodeStats monitoring.
6️⃣ Active Mode 🚀
Node enters the operational state, ready to receive and process AI tasks.

🔹 Why This Matters?
✔ Ensures network reliability by validating storage, AI models & node health.
✔ Prepares nodes for decentralized inference, enabling efficient AI processing.
✔ Optimizes uptime tracking for performance & reputation scoring.
