BIGHT token markInfraVerifiable Storage

Providers

Provider onboarding starts with proof.

Infra providers store, serve, prove, repair, and settle work through receipts. Admission is not a node-earning promise; it is a staged path from public identity to capacity, challenge response, retrieval service, and settlement evidence.

Provider work is receipt-gated.

Capacity, proof, retrieval, repair, and payout claims stay separate until the relevant receipt exists.

Current provider posture

Public provider labels are metadata. They do not publish keys, private topology, or hidden thresholds.

Before applying

A provider should be able to prove more than disk space. Infra cares about retrieval, proof response, repair participation, and clean settlement records.

Public identity

Prepare a public Infra provider address, payout address, optional handle, and an operator identity that can survive key rotation without hiding prior failures.

Capacity declaration

Declare usable storage, reserved repair headroom, storage class, retrieval posture, and supported proof classes without overclaiming sellable capacity.

Proof readiness

Be ready for retrieval challenge, Merkle possession checks, proof-of-storage posture, and dispute or appeal receipts.

Service readiness

Be able to serve random chunks, handle hot-query work, support cold-retention restore windows, and participate in repair around failed replicas.

Settlement readiness

Understand that accepted work, withheld work, disputed work, slashed work, and paid work are separate provider receipt states.

Security boundary

Do not publish seed phrases, private keys, hidden network topology, private thresholds, or operator-only procedures in an onboarding request.

Onboarding path

The public shape is deliberately slower than a simple registration form. Good acting should be cheap and legible; bad acting should get more expensive as it touches proof, repair, and settlement.

1Declare

Submit public provider identity, capacity, storage class, proof support, and payout metadata.

2Observe

Enter shadow observation before high-value work or payout eligibility is treated as live.

3Prove

Pass retrieval and possession checks, then receive only the work class your proof posture supports.

4Settle

Earn only from admitted work that produces settlement receipts or explicit withheld/dispute labels.

Live public maps

These maps are generated public labels. They are useful for orientation, not private admission policy.

What gets providers paid

Payment follows service receipts. It does not follow marketing language, raw capacity claims, or circular demand.

Storage service

Accepted storage work after quote, payment, admission, and provider assignment labels exist.

Retrieval service

Hot reads, public-rented downloads, private receipt downloads, and cold restore work after BIGHT payment and access checks.

Proof service

Valid proof or challenge response where the receipt names what was checked without exposing private chunks.

Repair service

Repair or handoff participation after failed, dirty, or unavailable replicas are routed through the repair path.

Withheld work

Disputed, stale, missing-proof, or failed-retrieval work stays withheld until the terminal receipt decides it.

No automatic rewards

A running node, raw zone label, or idle disk promise does not create BIGHT entitlement by itself.

Public addresses

Machine-run role addresses may be public. Credentials and private operator procedure are not.
