Node Architecture

Zusama’s decentralized AI infrastructure is designed to redefine how social behavioral data is collected, processed, and utilized through an integrated network of intelligent nodes.

1. Overview

The Zusama Node Architecture is a multi-layer decentralized compute and interaction framework built under a DePIN model.

Beyond browser extensions and desktop applications, Zusama also expands into Telegram-based nodes, allowing users to participate in AI contribution and reward mechanisms directly inside Telegram.

This creates a hybrid infrastructure combining:

  • Browser Extension Nodes

  • Desktop Compute Nodes

  • VPS / Dedicated Nodes

  • NFT-Based Super Nodes

  • Telegram Interaction Nodes

Together, these layers form a unified decentralized intelligence network.

2. Node Classification

2.1 Light Node (Browser Extension Layer)

Deployment: Chrome / Edge

Functions:

  • Collect anonymized interaction signals

  • Track gameplay behavior

  • Perform lightweight AI inference

  • Participate in micro-training

Reward Model:

  • Points-based mining

  • Referral tracking

  • NFT multiplier eligible

2.2 Standard Node (Desktop App)

Deployment: Windows / macOS

Functions:

  • Local AI training

  • Gradient computation

  • Medium-level compute tasks

  • Encrypted model update submission

Includes:

  • Adjustable CPU/GPU limits

  • Contribution scoring

  • Real-time node dashboard

2.3 Advanced Node (VPS / Dedicated Infrastructure)

Deployment: VPS / Server

Functions:

  • High-frequency training cycles

  • Model validation

  • Aggregation participation

  • Reputation-weighted scoring

These nodes provide backbone stability for the network.

2.4 Telegram Node (Social Interaction Layer)

Deployment: Telegram Bot & Mini App

The Telegram Node introduces a social-intelligence layer into the Zusama ecosystem.

Purpose

  • Enable AI interaction inside Telegram

  • Collect behavioral engagement signals

  • Power AI conversation training

  • Distribute micro-rewards instantly

Functional Capabilities

💬 AI Interaction Users can interact with Zus AI via Telegram bot for:

  • AI-assisted responses

  • Community engagement tools

  • Social simulation features

📊 Engagement Signal Capture The system collects:

  • Command usage frequency

  • AI feedback rating

  • Session duration metrics

  • Interaction depth scoring

🎮 Mini App Integration Telegram Mini Apps allow:

  • Reward tracking

  • Node activation

  • NFT viewing & staking

  • Super Node management

Telegram Node Reward Model

Users earn rewards for:

  • AI interaction contribution

  • Community engagement

  • Feedback submission

  • Referral onboarding

Telegram Nodes are considered Social Compute Nodes, where value comes from behavioral intelligence rather than raw CPU power.


2.5 Super Node (NFT-Based On-Chain Node)

Requirement: Ownership of a Super Node NFT on Solana.

Enhanced Benefits:

  • Reward multiplier

  • Revenue share from:

    • AI API usage

    • Telegram AI services

    • Game integrations

  • Priority compute tasks

  • Governance participation

Super Nodes apply across:

Browser Desktop VPS Telegram

If a user operates multiple node types and holds multiple NFTs, bonus multipliers stack.

3. Unified Node Operational Flow

1️⃣ Task or Interaction Trigger

  • AI training task (Desktop/VPS)

  • Gameplay signal (Extension)

  • Social interaction (Telegram)

2️⃣ Local Processing

  • Compute execution

  • Behavioral feature extraction

3️⃣ Secure Transmission

  • Encrypted gradient updates

  • Engagement signal aggregation

4️⃣ Validation Layer

  • Off-chain verification

  • Reputation scoring

5️⃣ On-Chain Logging (Solana)

  • Proof-of-contribution

  • Reward allocation

6️⃣ Reward Distribution

  • Points

  • $ZUS tokens

  • NFT multiplier bonus

4. Hybrid Contribution Model

Zusama now recognizes three contribution types:

  1. Compute Contribution CPU/GPU processing power

  2. Data Contribution Behavioral & engagement signals

  3. Social Intelligence Contribution Telegram-based AI interaction feedback

Each type carries a weighted value in the Contribution Score formula.

5. Contribution Score (Updated)

CS = (Compute Weight + Data Weight + Social Weight) × Uptime Reliability × Validation Score × NFT Multiplier

Telegram Nodes mainly impact the Social Weight component.

6. Cross-Platform Synchronization

All node types synchronize through:

  • Unified Wallet Identity

  • On-chain NFT validation

  • Cross-platform reward ledger

  • Shared Contribution Score

This allows a single user to:

  • Run Desktop Node

  • Activate Browser Extension

  • Engage via Telegram

  • Hold multiple NFTs

And receive stacked ecosystem benefits.
