Hermes
Hermes Nodes are an integral part of AMB-NET, responsible for producing and uploading the data on the network. More specifically, these nodes are responsible for:
- The collection of data transmitted by sensors or other hardware devices,
- The documentation of private data in the form of a hash of the ‘Asset’ or ‘Event’ recorded. This hash contains within it all relevant meta-data (i.e. author, timestamp, Amber ID, etc.).
The compacting of the hash and meta-data up into a ‘Bundle’ that is then incorporated into a block on the Ambrosus blockchain. As such, Hermes Masternodes are the connectors of the network: they provide a uniform REST API that allows mobile devices, sensors, and desktop applications (including those of clients using the network) to easily connect to the Ambrosus blockchain and the meta-data stored within.
Hermes Masternodes, are the primary data producers of the network. As such, most Hermes Nodes will be operated by companies wishing to upload their supply chain data to AMB-NET and more generally by any developer interested in building any custom Blockchain powered application (this is particularly relevant for our partners that provide custom solutions).
