Layer 0, the Resource Layer

The Resource Layer consists of Leviatom and Behemotum, managing decentralised computing and data resources for NetX respectively.

Leviatom operates as the backbone of the NetX ecosystem, serving as the decentralised cloud computing infrastructure network. Its primary role includes orchestrating decentralised computing nodes, scheduling micro-services, and establishing consensus mechanisms for various computational tasks.

In the Leviatom network, each node hosts multiple micro-services, and any changes to the micro-service composition of a node are identified and recorded by the Leviatom Ledger. This ledger records the node's properties, reflecting the dynamic nature of micro-service deployment and removal. Notably, the content of the Ledger is verified by the Layer ‘-1’ web-of-trust, ensuring its accuracy and reliability.

This ledger-based system enables micro-services to identify and communicate with other micro-services deployed on different nodes. This property-based service routing approach effectively transforms Leviatom into a decentralised Function-as-a-Service (dFaaS) platform. Micro-services can efficiently discover and connect by searching for specific properties stored in the ledger, simplifying the service discovery and enabling flexible service interactions. This enhances the overall efficiency and functionality of the Leviatom network.

Leviatom's capabilities extend to collaborating with the Layer 1 EVM-compatible chain. In this collaboration, smart contracts on Layer 1 gain the ability to invoke functions provided by the micro-services hosted on Leviatom. This integration bridges the gap between decentralised computing and smart contract execution within the NetX ecosystem. Smart contracts on Layer 1 can efficiently discover multiple functions implemented by micro-services that serve the same purpose by querying the Leviatom Ledger, offering flexibility and choice. They can independently invoke these functions and compare their outputs to reach a consensus on decentralised Function-as-a-Service (dFaaS) executions. This collaboration enhances the overall functionality and versatility of the NetX ecosystem, creating a robust environment for decentralised computation and smart contract execution.

Behemotum is the decentralised privacy-preserving data service network in the Resource Layer. It is designed to handle large datasets while ensuring the utmost security and confidentiality. It accomplishes this by implementing advanced privacy-preserving algorithms that guarantee data integrity and confidentiality while enabling efficient data analysis and manipulation. This component is pivotal in protecting sensitive information and upholding privacy standards in various data-related operations conducted within the NetX architecture.

Behemotum's significance extends beyond traditional data processing as it introduces innovative approaches to preserving privacy in the context of big data. It combines blockchain technology and artificial intelligence to create a robust environment that caters to organisations and individuals working with extensive datasets. Smart contracts play a pivotal role in Behemotum's operations, ensuring transparency and security when defining the training process, managing model access, and distributing incentives for work.

Behemotum offers several notable advantages: user empowerment and control, transparency, security, scalability, and resilience. Users retain direct authority over their data, allowing them to define specific training processes and control data access without third-party involvement. The decentralised nature of the platform ensures that all transactions and processes are transparent, secure, and verifiable, enhancing user trust. Behemotum's ability to scale effectively and manage extensive datasets positions it as a robust and reliable environment for machine learning tasks. Moreover, its collaborative ecosystem encourages the participation of developers, data scientists, and experts who work collectively to improve machine learning efficiency and accessibility.
