So I’ve been diving into Arcium, and here’s what I figured out about how computation works in the network 🔹 What’s a Computation Unit (CU)? Think of a CU like a single “block” of work. It’s the smallest piece of computing effort on Arcium. Everything — from solving a math problem to verifying a transaction — is measured in CUs. The more complex the task, the more CUs it costs. And CUs also help decide how much Arx nodes get paid for their work. 🔹 2 Types of Computation Tasks in Arcium 1. System Computations 2. Customer Computations 1️⃣ System Computations These are behind-the-scenes tasks that keep Arcium running smoothly — like digital maintenance work done by the network itself. Examples: ✅ Distributed Key Generation (DKG) Imagine a group project where everyone holds a piece of the final answer. Each Arx node gets a slice of a cryptographic key (called a key share) and only by combining them can you “unlock” the ability to run secure computations — all without seeing each other’s data. 🔐 ✅ Migration Computations If something breaks or needs to move (say a Cluster of nodes needs to switch locations), the system kicks off a migration. Nodes chip in for the “moving costs” (priority fees), and the move is done without disrupting the network. 📦 ✅ Non-Participation Detection If a node ghosts its duties (goes offline or misbehaves), the system runs a check to detect it. If bad behavior is confirmed, that node might get slashed (lose rewards), and the nodes who helped with the check get paid. 🕵️♂️ 2️⃣ Customer Computations This is where you (or any user/business) can request private and secure computations. Think of it like ordering a custom job from the network — like processing confidential data or doing a sensitive computation that no one else should see. 💡 Real-world analogy: You give Arcium a locked briefcase with instructions inside. The network opens it, does the job securely, then sends the result — without anyone knowing what was inside. 🔁 In Short: CUs = currency of work Arx nodes = workers System Computations = network's self-care Customer Computations = your custom tasks All of it happens securely and privately 🔒 I hope this helps make sense of what’s happening behind the curtain at Arcium for non-devs and curious minds alike. Web3 infra is getting crazy powerful — and Arcium is doing it with privacy and precision at the core. @serloost @yrschrade what do you think about my breakdown. < gMPC> ☂️
@commit_ted @ArciumHQ @aberamaaa @yrschrade solid breakdown Banter☂️ it is a lot of technical information that I'm hoping you are really and truly absorbing using tools to help write these is great to some degree, but just make sure you're growing along with it I love the graphic btw
@commit_ted @ArciumHQ @aberamaaa @serloost @yrschrade gMPC Banter I love this breakdown
@commit_ted @ArciumHQ @aberamaaa @serloost @yrschrade You must have spent a lot of work on this. Nice one.
@commit_ted @ArciumHQ @aberamaaa @serloost @yrschrade Lob this man worth the read
