- | There are multiple different ' | ||
- | |||
- | Account types are related to the benefit that each account provides to the network. | ||

- | **Founder: | ||
- | |||
- | The main purpose of the Founder account setup is to ensure that the platform has what it needs in the beginning in a set of honest, online, and active nodes with which the platform will build a solid base. Also to serve as a group of accounts with slightly more influence to combat any 'bad actors' | ||
- | |||
- | Eventually, as time goes on and accounts prove themselves legitimate by minting or storing data, the Founder accounts' | ||

- | |||
- | Founders have their own ' | ||
- | |||
- | This model makes sense in the start of the system as the founders will be doing a lot of work and have already done a lot of work to get the system built and live. Therefore, a slightly larger rewards for a short amount of time seems fair. | ||

- | **Minter:** Minter status is the status provided to those who have proven themselves via ' | ||

- | Minters are the users in Qortal who are rewarded for, and complete the process of, finding blocks on the Qortal network. As in any other blockchain, finding blocks is necessary in Qortal. However, the rewards are completely different in Qortal' | ||

- | |||
- | Users CAN, however, use the trade portal, make transactions, | ||
- | |||
- | The process to become other account types aside from minter, have not fully been discussed by the current development team, and thus will not be explained in detail here yet. | ||
- | |||
- | **Data Node:** A future account type that will be discussed in detail when implemented. | ||
- | |||
- | **Data SuperNode: | ||
- | |||
- | **Liquidity Provider:** Same as above, with the modification that the Trade Portal will be the first service focused on post-launch of the beta network. So this account type will be able to be created sooner than the Data Node or Data SuperNode type. | ||
- | |||
- | A Liquidity Provider on the Qortal Network is a user that provides third-party coin on the sell side of the Qortal trade market. | ||
- | |||
- | As the system grows and gets more use, however, the modification of this to include users providing liquidity in multiple portions of multiple markets could potentially be voted into reality (more are likely to come as the platform is developed further). |
