Role of Deep Thought in QL1/QOM
"Deep Thought" is not just an evocative name; it's the core of our involvement in QL1 and QOM, fulfilling vital roles:
As a Validator
In its role as a validator, "Deep Thought" is crucial for the security and integrity of the QL1 network. It validates transactions and proposes new blocks, actively participating in the consensus process. This ensures that each transaction is correctly verified, keeping the network free from fraud and promoting trust in the system.

As an RPC Node
Acting as an RPC node, "Deep Thought" facilitates communication between the blockchain and external users or applications. It provides access to chain data, allows command execution, and serves as a bridge for developers and enthusiasts to interact with QL1 without the need to manage a full node. This enhances the usability and accessibility of the network.
Distributed and Redundant Infrastructure
Our infrastructure is designed to be robust and fault-resistant. "Deep Thought" is distributed across several servers, each located in different geographical locations. This redundancy ensures that even in the event of a server failure, operations continue uninterrupted, maintaining high availability and service continuity for the QL1 network. This fault-tolerant architecture is key to the stability and reliability of our node within the ecosystem.
Ports
Tendermint RPC
URL: rpc.deep-thought.computer
Description: Associated with the Tendermint RPC service, essential for node communication in the QL1 network. It allows operations like chain synchronization, network status, and block validation. It's the heart of consensus and blockchain network integrity.
JSON-RPC
URL: json-rpc.deep-thought.computer
Description: Provides access to the JSON-RPC interface, a communication protocol for applications and users to interact with the blockchain. This service enables commands such as checking balances, sending transactions, and reading or writing smart contracts without needing to synchronize the entire blockchain.
P2P
URL: p2p.deep-thought.computer
Description: Used for P2P (peer-to-peer) communication between nodes in the blockchain network. It facilitates the propagation of transactions and blocks among nodes, ensuring the decentralization and robustness of the network. This port is crucial for maintaining network connectivity and synchronization without relying on a centralized structure.
