Integrators
Services are specialized servers responsible for indexing datasets or handling processing tasks within the QRY Network. They cater to a variety of data types, such as blockchain data, and perform different functions, like processing jobs for Generative AI. Each Service is designed to handle a specific dataset or processing task, allowing for efficient and optimized performance. Services are the backbone of the QRY ecosystem, ensuring that data and processing capabilities are readily available to users when required.
Integrators are responsible for connecting and registering new Services on the QRY Blockchain. They develop and maintain Connectors that make the services compatible with QRY. They also define datasets, processing capabilities, features, plans, and prices, which can later be altered through a governance process that includes both Integrators and Infrastructure Providers. Integrators can also create custom indexing plans for specific use cases, such as blockchain contract indexing.
Their rewards are based on the number of requests served by their Connectors and the associated plans and prices, incentivizing them to continuously improve and evolve their software, at the same time balancing the long term royalties to avoid entrenchment.
