DePIN Nodes

DePIN nodes are the core components of the Zenith Network, responsible for health data storage, encryption, computation, and privacy protection, ensuring data security, integrity, and value transformation in an encrypted state. Users can become DePIN nodes by staking $ZEN tokens, providing computational and storage resources to the network while earning ecosystem incentives.

As the infrastructure for data storage, DePIN nodes use FHE to ensure that all uploaded data can be computed without decryption, protecting user privacy. All health data is shard-encrypted and stored in a distributed manner within the DePIN network, avoiding the single point of failure risks associated with traditional centralized servers and ensuring data immutability and long-term availability. Additionally, DePIN nodes are responsible for smart contract authentication, ensuring that user health data is authenticated on the blockchain, and users can set data access permissions, deciding whether to authorize medical institutions, research organizations, or AI training platforms to use their data.

In terms of computation, DePIN nodes not only handle data storage but also undertake AI computation and privacy computing tasks. ZenithRing uses FHE computation, allowing data to be processed by AI models while remaining encrypted, providing personalized health recommendations and disease risk predictions without exposing raw user data. Computational tasks are distributed among DePIN nodes, and the network's computational resources can be used for decentralized training of AI health models, enhancing the intelligence and accuracy of health analysis. Additionally, DePIN node operators can earn $ZEN token rewards by contributing computational resources, incentivizing more nodes to join the ecosystem and collectively drive the development of the decentralized health data network.

Within the ZenithRing ecosystem, DePIN nodes are divided into Light Nodes and Super Nodes, each handling different levels of data storage, computation tasks, and governance weight. Users can stake $ZEN tokens to become different types of nodes, providing computational or storage resources and earning corresponding rewards.
