The TFSC Network: How a Fully Decentralized P2P Structure Works

The TFSC blockchain utilizes a decentralized P2P network where all nodes are equal and perform the same functions. Let’s look at how the TFSC network infrastructure is organized.

Network Architecture

The TFSC network is built on the principle of full connectivity between nodes. Each node is directly connected to all others in the network. This allows for high transaction speeds, reliability, and low latency.

TFSC node capabilities:

  • Archiving — storing the full history of blocks

  • Validation — verifying transactions

  • Broadcasting — transmitting blocks and transactions

  • Synchronization — onboarding new nodes

  • Monitoring — checking connectivity health

  • API — for external queries

Identification and Authentication

Each node has a unique identifier that is checked against an allowed node list. This guarantees authenticity of nodes on the network.

To enable fair load distribution, validator nodes are randomly selected. This prevents unfair selection based on network speed.

Network Communication

Stable TCP protocol is used for message exchange. Data is first cached, then distributed by the transaction dispatcher, and processed by various functions.

Communication is implemented via a node list that stores info about all connected nodes. This allows efficient message routing. The node list is dynamically updated as new nodes connect.

Registration and heartbeat mechanisms maintain up-to-date data. Registration checks potential connectivity between nodes, heartbeats periodically check their health.

Node Count Limit

For optimal performance, the TFSC network limits nodes to 500–1000. If exceeded, some nodes get temporarily restricted from transacting. This retains the advantages of full connectivity.

In summary, the TFSC network represents a fully decentralized topology with mechanisms optimized for a target scale. This provides high speed, reliability and security.
