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- Identify knowledge gaps or outdated information.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.
