| Audit |
A validator re-executing a committee round itself; happens for every contested round and a random 10 % of the rest |
| Backup |
A committee member drawn after the primaries, activated when a primary declines, times out or misses its lease |
| Beacon |
Per-epoch randomness from a Sepolia block hash, used to seed sortition |
| Binding |
The record linking a device’s node key to its owner wallet, signed by both |
| Canonical JSON |
Sorted keys, no whitespace, unescaped UTF-8, integers only; used for every hash and signature |
| Collateral |
NECTA bonded per subscription in the Staking contract; slashable |
| Committee |
The miners drawn to execute one task slot |
| Compute unit |
max(1, ceil(gas_used / 1,000,000)) per verified vote; the basis of rewards |
| Consensus hash |
Hash of a project manifest’s consensus section; names the rules a round ran under |
| Contested round |
A committee round where some vote disagrees or no hash reaches quorum |
| Epoch |
A project’s reward period (epoch_secs, 1 to 24 hours, aligned to UTC) |
| Equivocation |
Two different votes by one key in one round; fully slashable |
| Finality record |
Validators’ signed statement of a round’s correct receipt hash, gas and agreeing voters |
| Gas |
Metered execution cost (instruction fuel plus host-call costs) |
| Gasless intent |
EIP-712 typed data you sign so the Hub’s relayer sends the transaction for you |
.hbc |
Hive Bytecode: the module format HiveKit produces and NDSR executes (a manifest plus compiled code, module.wasm, in a ZIP) |
| HiveKit |
The SDKs and hivec CLIs for writing modules |
| hivejs |
The client library for calling deployed modules |
hive-wasm-v1 |
The runtime id of the current Hive Bytecode ABI and host interface |
| Hub |
The public API and miner relay at testnet-rpc.necter.network |
| Lease |
A granted task assignment with a deadline, after a miner accepts an offer |
| Manifest address |
A module’s content address: Keccak-256 of its canonical manifest and compiled code |
| NDSR |
Necter Distributed State Runtime: the node and execution engine |
| NECTA |
The network token; collateral for mining (test NECTA on the testnet) |
| Node key / node id |
A device’s ed25519 identity; node_id = "ndsr-" + 16 hex of keccak256(public key) |
| Offer |
The relay’s invitation to a drawn committee member to run a task |
| Project |
A worker module plus a signed manifest, registered on-chain with its own vault |
| Portable engine |
NDSR’s interpreter (Pulley), used on 32-bit ARM; receipt-identical to the native engine |
| Receipt |
The hashed summary of one execution (module, function, input, output, events, gas, success) |
| Reputation |
A per-subscription score (1,000–10,000 bp) that scales selection weight |
| Round |
One consensus decision: exec: (validators), task: (committee), epoch: (rewards) |
| SecureWeave |
NDSR’s BFT consensus layer: quorum floor(2n/3)+1 of distinct, non-equivocating validators. More |
| Slot |
(project, epoch, seq): the position a task occupies; its committee is fixed before the input exists |
| Snapshot |
The validator-attested list of eligible miners for a project epoch |
| Sortition |
Weighted random selection of committees from a snapshot |
| Stateless |
A module importing no storage.* and no hive.call; required for committee workers |
| Subscription |
One device mining one project, backed by its own collateral |
| Validator fallback |
Running a task as a validator round when no committee is possible; pays no miner |
| Vault |
A project’s ProjectVault contract holding its reward token and paying epochs |
