Light clients.
Create and sign transactions, then pass them to full nodes. A lightweight path for users and applications into the network.
Node participation
Every connection
has a role.
Explore the responsibilities behind VINE, from lightweight access to transaction verification and coordinated ledger state.
The architecture, in roles
Different work.
A shared network.
Full nodes.
Verify transactions, assemble sites, reference earlier sites and exchange information with peers.
Commit processing.
Bring verified activity, balances and contract results into a coordinated ledger reference.
User nodes.
Grape’s current capacity positioning is up to 2,000 TPS of network capacity per user node; actual performance depends on implementation and conditions.
These descriptions combine the supplied VINE architecture with current Grape positioning. The paper’s light/full/leader terminology is not a current installation or enrollment specification. VINE technical paper · p. 11
