The Delivery Acknowledgements are stored locally in the participating node memory pools, rolled-up to the protocol consensus consistently throughout the Epoch. This agreement forms by a random committee of any healthy Nodes that use the information provided to reward the Nodes fairly.

## Protocol
## About the protocol

The Fleek Network is designed to deliver computation cheaper, faster and more efficiently than existing Cloud providers by allowing anyone to offer computer resources for rewards. Including, secured information about who requested it on the network.

As a decentralized Network, the state of these is replicated across all of the distributed Nodes in the Network by forming a Blockchain, in which Consensus on transactions transmutes to the final immutable state.

## Consensus
## The Consensus algorithm

[Narwhal](https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.11827) and [Bullshark](https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.05633), are high-performant mempool and consensus engines by [Mysten Labs](https://github.com/MystenLabs). The Fleek Network uses Narwhal as a DAG-mempool for transaction ordering that requires total ordering (linear order) and Bullshark as the consensus engine.

## Reputation
## Reputation system

The Fleek Network has a reputation system where Nodes rate each other. The ratings are collected timely and an aggregation algorithm calculates the overall rate for each Node at the end of every Epoch.

Within a diverse ecosystem where Node Operators are free to choose which Services to run, e.g. an operator might find popular services more appealing economically. Thus, the network is nonhomogenous, made up of different types of resource servers, requirements and services.

## Build blocks abstraction
## Abstraction and build blocks

Abstraction is conceptually useful in decentralized and distributed Web Service development because of how incredibly complex it can become and the speed at which developers have to react to the outside world. The core team put most of the complexity into well-defined building blocks.

- Processes Proof-of-Deliveries
- Mint FLK Tokens as rewards for participants
- Store and provide APIs for Node-to-Node reputation measurements

[Draco](https://github.com/fleek-network/draco) is the repository name containing the Fleek multi-service Edge Network implementation.

The project aims to provide a higher focus on engineering productivity from the get-go, an improvement over the original [Ursa](https://github.com/fleek-network/ursa) implementation, which was exclusively focused on CDN, one of many services Draco offers support.

### Interfaces

The design pattern adopted for this software is highly inspired by the Object-Oriented model described by Alan Kay, which may be a bit different from OOP which grew to fame due to Java.

In a nutshell, this is similar to the same idea, and we represent different units of computation and process as objects that communicate with each other by message passing.

## Identity on the Fleek Network

- Types of accounts
- Public-key cryptography
- Requesting resources
