Key Components

When a task is created, there are two key components that must be uploaded to the Koii Network to initiate the task.

Executable

Every task is compiled into a single JavaScript executable file that contains all of the functions required to run the task. We go into detail throughout the tutorial. Three functions are required to be defined:

• Task function — This function contains the core logic of the task executable and submits the proof of the work done by participating nodes to K2. Learn more

• Audit function — This function audits other participating nodes. Learn More

• Distribution function — This function creates the distribution list and submits it on-chain. Learn More

Metadata

The task metadata is structured data that contains information about a Koii task. Node operators can easily learn more details about a specific task by looking at its metadata.

Task Metadata Sample:

{
  name: 'Sample Task',
  description: 'This a demo task',
  author: 'KOII-networks',
  githubURL: 'https://github.com',
  imageURL: 'image.png',
  createdAt: '',
  nodeSpec: {
    storage: '',
    cpu: '4',
    memory: '8',
    os: [ 'Linux', 'Windows', 'MacOS' ],
    network: '20'
  }
}

There are two types of task metadata:

1. Data that is stored in an IPFS Metadata file - which is done on task creation

   • Task Manager — K2 wallet address of task creator.

   • Task description — An optional field for adding a detailed description of the task.

   • Task Name — Name of the task.\

2. Data that are stored on K2 - updated over time and reflect the latest state of the task
