What is Dorsium?
Dorsium is a community-centric testnet platform that enables technical validation testing through mobile accessibility while maintaining enterprise-grade security and transparency.
Built on Cosmos SDK with a revolutionary Hierarchical Delegated Consensus (HDC) mechanism, Dorsium transforms mobile devices into lightweight validators that perform cryptographic signature verification and transaction validation, rewarding users with dPOINT scoring points for their testnet participation.
Key Features
- Mobile Validation - Validate directly from iOS/Android devices without specialized hardware
- Transparent Rewards - Deterministic formulas with SHA-256 hash verification for every transaction
- Community Governance - Transparent testnet governance
How Validation Works
Dorsium uses a three-tier network architecture:
1. Mobile Validators
Mobile validators form the first line of defense in HDC consensus:
- Signature Verification: Ed25519/Secp256k1 signature validation
- Transaction Validation: Format and balance verification
- Proof-of-Activity: 2-3 daily checks against Sybil attacks
- Reward: 2.72 dPOINT per 24-hour validation session
Mobile validation performs real cryptographic work - the same validation operations as full nodes, just distributed across thousands of devices.
2. Nodes
Nodes are light validators and transaction relays:
- Function: Block assembly, transaction forwarding
- Reward: 3x base rate (8.16 dPOINT/day)
- Requirement: 24/7 operation, stable internet
3. Validators
Validators are full consensus participants:
- Function: BFT voting, data storage, transaction finalization
- Reward: 6x base rate (16.32 dPOINT/day)
- Requirement: 24/7 operation, high-speed internet
Quick Start
For Mobile Validation
- Download the Dorsium app for iOS or Android (coming soon)
- Register and complete KYC verification
- Start validating - your device immediately begins validating
- Pass the knowledge test for scoring access (70% minimum)
KYC Requirement
Identity verification is required for validation:
- Full name (as appears on government ID)
- Date of birth and address
- Government ID upload
- Selfie verification
For Node or Validator Operation
- Complete basic KYC and knowledge test
- Video call verification with the Dorsium team
- Purchase hardware
- Follow the HP-800 User Manual
Reward System
Dorsium's reward structure is transparent and fair:
Base Reward = Base Rate × Hardware Multiplier × (1 + Referral Multiplier)
| Type | Base Rate | Hardware Multiplier | Daily Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mobile | 2.72 dPOINT | 1x | 2.72 dPOINT |
| Node | 2.72 dPOINT | 3x | 8.16 dPOINT |
| Validator | 2.72 dPOINT | 6x | 16.32 dPOINT |
Next Steps
Download the Dorsium app, register, and complete KYC verification. Validation can start immediately after verification.
