Lightweight Idle Nodes

Idle Network's Lightweight Idle Nodes act as the blockchain agent of the device. Handles signing, submitting proofs, and interacting with Idle MetaVaults.

Implementation:

• Written in C/C++ for portability across ARM Cortex-M, RISC-V MCUs, and Linux-based IoT boards.

• Uses ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography, e.g., secp256k1) for wallet signing.

• Runs in low-duty cycles (e.g., 1% CPU usage, waking only for blockchain submissions).

• Can use ARM TrustZone or RISC-V PMP (Physical Memory Protection) to sandbox itself from OEM firmware functions.

Blockchain Compatibility:

• Ethereum L2s (Base, Optimism, Arbitrum) via lightweight RPC clients.

• Solana or Cosmos ecosystems via GRPC light clients.

• Pluggable backend for MetaVault integration (abstracts away multi-chain complexity).
