# Roles and Responsibilities

The KCG+CAG ecosystem is supported by distinct roles, each playing a critical part in ensuring the quality, efficiency, and scalability of the knowledge reasoning pipeline.

# DoD Agents

  • Role: Orchestrators of Distillation on Demand (DoD) queries and reasoning pipelines.
  • Responsibilities:
    • Identify knowledge gaps or outdated information.
    • Initiate SCR reasoning pipelines.
    • Aggregate outputs from SCR, local caches, and Big LLM APIs.
    • Propose distilled knowledge entries for validation.
    • Use and maintain local KV-caches for fast reasoning.
  • Incentives:
    • Earn rewards for initiating valuable DoD queries.
    • Benefit from lower inference costs via SCR and caching.

# Gateways

  • Role: Federated nodes serving as intermediaries between agents and the KCG.
  • Responsibilities:
    • Validate, package, and record knowledge into KCG.
    • Manage off-chain semantic indexes and vector stores.
    • Operate KV-caching services for Tiny LLMs and agents.
    • Enforce quality and anti-spam measures.
    • Distribute SCR-ready prompts and knowledge to agents.
  • Incentives:
    • Earn transaction fees and validation rewards.
    • Maintain economic sustainability by hosting caching and reasoning infrastructure.

# Validator Nodes

  • Role: Guardians of knowledge correctness and consensus.
  • Responsibilities:
    • Participate in voting and validation of proposed knowledge entries.
    • Ensure factual correctness, source verification, and semantic consistency.
    • Provide audit trails and proof-of-knowledge attestations.
    • Optionally participate in dispute resolution and governance processes.
  • Incentives:
    • Earn validation rewards from token flows.
    • Receive staking benefits and governance rights.

# Off-Chain Indexing Nodes (Optional Layer)

  • Role: Specialized nodes supporting Gateways.
  • Responsibilities:
    • Maintain lightweight off-chain semantic graphs and vector indexes.
    • Serve SCR pipelines with ultra-fast retrieval.
    • Optimize query routing and ranking.
  • Incentives:
    • Earn rewards from Gateway operators or network treasury.
