An active participant is one who is submitting, incentivizing or validating data on the Network. This contrasts with passive participants who simply use the data outputs.

The Analog Network relies on a wide variety of participants. ANLOG holders stake and incentivize submission of specified data through smart contract delivered token rewards. Time nodes coordinate and validate this data. Users of the Analog API subsequently search and review the outputs from the Timegraph.

Becoming a time node is easy. You’ll just need to download and register our app before proceeding with the gathering and submitting your time data.

A time node is a participant in the network who submits or confirms time data onto the Timegraph. They gather real-world information and submit it to be logged on-chain through the Network Oracles.
