RedStone Node is a core module in the RedStone ecosystem, which is responsible for fetching data from different sources and broadcasting it to the Arweave blockchain and the RedStone cache layer.
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Provider | An entity that fetches the data from external APIs, transforms it to a standard format, and persists collected information in the Redstone data ecosystem. Each provider has a running instance of redstone-node |
| Fetcher (source) | A module responsible for fetching the data from an external API. Examples: coinbase fetcher, ecb fetcher |
| Manifest | Public JSON file that defines the provider's obligation regarding the data that they provide. It sets fetching interval, tokens, sources and other public technical details |
| Config | Private configuration file created by provider |
| Signer | A module responsible for data signing. Examples: EvmPriceSigner, ArweavePriceSigner |
| Aggregator | A module responsible for aggregating the data fetched from different sources. Median aggregator is used by default |
| Broadcaster | A module responsible for broadcasting the signed data. Currently it sends the signed data to the RedStone cache layer. This data may be fetched then through the RedStone API |
| Arweave | Arweave is a new type of blockchain that allows to store data on Blockchain with much lower costs. It is used by RedStone protocol for storing data |
