| AppChain |
An application chain built with the TOG SDK. The Hub validates its blocks |
| Atto-TOG |
The smallest unit: 1 TOG = 1018 atto-TOG. Some commands take amounts in atto-TOG (also called base units) |
| Bond |
Test-TOG an operator locks on the Hub. It can be slashed for faults |
| Bootnode |
A public node that new nodes connect to first |
| CAS |
The content-addressed store where a worker keeps job images, inputs and outputs |
| Checkpoint (job) |
A job's saved state after a segment, so another worker can resume it |
| Checkpoint (light client) |
A recent trusted Hub header, published weekly, for nodes that start late |
| Collator |
A node that builds an AppChain's blocks and submits them to the Hub |
| Coretime |
Capacity an AppChain buys for the Hub to validate its blocks |
| Era |
A run of blocks after which the validator set can change |
| Escrow |
A job's budget, held by the Hub until the job settles |
| Executor |
The worker process that runs jobs in their sandbox |
| Faucet |
The service that gives out free test-TOG |
| Genesis |
The first state of a network. Its hash identifies the network |
| The Grid |
The bonded compute and storage workers that run and store jobs |
| Hub |
The TOG Layer 0 chain that orders and finalizes everything |
| Isolation tier |
How strongly a job is sandboxed: T0 gVisor, T1 runc or plain process, T2 microVM, T3 confidential VM |
| Job |
A container image, its inputs and outputs, run on the Grid for a budget |
| Key ceremony |
The process in which validators make keys on their own machines and build the genesis together |
| Light client |
A client that follows the Hub by checking block signatures and proofs instead of trusting a server |
network_id |
The number that identifies a network: 2 for the public testnet |
| Opt-in |
The AppChains whose jobs a worker accepts |
| Owner |
The account that registers a worker and holds its bond |
| Segment |
A part of a long job, ending with a checkpoint |
| Session |
A shorter run of blocks after which duties rotate |
| Signer |
tog-signer, the process that holds a node's keys and signs for it |
| Slashing |
Taking part of a bond as the penalty for a fault |
| Stash key |
The key that controls a validator's bond |
| Storage worker |
A machine that holds job data and proves it still holds it |
| Test-TOG |
The testnet token. Free from the faucet, with no value |
| togd |
The worker's network daemon (binary tog-worker) |
| Validator |
A node that produces and finalizes Hub blocks |
| Worker |
A bonded machine that runs and checks jobs |
