Q1:What will be the core functions of the main net?
A1: The core functions of the main net include asset transfer, data storage, smart contracts and Dapps.

Q2: How will a user access these functions?
A2: A user can perform transactions and query transactions through the wallet. Developers can develop applications through a full-node wallet.

Q3: What will be the transactions per second of the network? Is this based on the subchain or metachain?
A3:It is estimated that the TPS will be around 2000 but the final specific number will be determined according to the further pressure testing. It is based on thearchy chain.

Q4: How will consensus in the network be managed?
A4:DPoS will be managed through open voting, and DBFT will be managed in the following aspects: processing of abnormal blocks, submission of proposals by meta nodes, public chain governance, etc.

Q5: Will the meta nodes be owned and operated by INT at the beginning?
A5: The main net will be launched by the node of INT foundation. All the meta nodes will be generated after the first round of community voting according to the voting rules.

Q6:How will the supernodes be determined?
A6:Anyone can become a meta node candidate if they meet the requirements. At the end of each round of voting, the candidate with the most votes will become the meta node within the next round of voting, and so on. All blocks are generated by the meta nodes in turns.

Q7: Will block producers be randomly selected for every block or after a series of blocks?
A7:Meta nodes take turns producing blocks.

Q8: Will there be rewards for participating in voting?
A8: No, there will be no rewards.

Q9:What will the economic incentives for participating in consensus and security of the network?
A9: Meta nodes have the obligation to generate blocks, participate in consensus mechanisms and maintain network security. For meta nodes that successfully generate blocks and fulfill required obligations, they will receive INT as a reward.

Q10: How will you punish Byzantine behavior?
A10:For a meta node that is evil or dishonest, if it cannot continuously release valid blocks within a certain period of time, the node will be kicked out for a certain time and not receive rewards.

Q11: What are the foreseen hardware requirements and loads for nodes in the network?
A11: Relevant information will be announced in the future node plan.

Q12: Will the main net launch the secondary INT token? What will this be called?
A12: No, there will be no the secondary INT token.

Q13: Will this be the reward token in the network?
A13: No such reward token.

Q14: What is the decentralization plan?
A14: Anyone can become a meta node candidate if they meet the requirements. At the end of each round of voting, the candidate with the most votes will become the meta node within the next round of voting, and so on. All blocks are generated by the meta nodes in turns.
