🛰️PiARM Relays: Community Infrastructure & Modular Platform
🛰️ piARM Relays: Community Infrastructure with Real Rewards
piARM Relays are the beating heart of our decentralised, modular ecosystem — designed for everyone from casual builders to professional validators. These lightweight yet powerful relay nodes run natively on ARM64 hardware (like Raspberry Pi 🍓), but also support x86_64 desktops, macOS ARM laptops, and cloud/VPS deployments.
Whether you’re spinning up a node at home or contributing to a regional mesh network, your relay matters — and now, it earns.
🧱 Modular Relay Stack & Installer UI
Each relay node is powered by a streamlined platform that makes setup and management effortless:
🔌 Modular Activation
Toggle core functions like:
Passive message relaying
Vault sync & proof rebroadcasting
Indexing & arbitration
P2P coordination
🌐 Real-Time Web Dashboard
Monitor:
Session throughput
Relay health
Logs, traffic stats, and fallback routes
All in one sleek, easy-to-use interface.
🔄 Dynamic Over-the-Air Updates
Relays stay fresh with no effort — security patches and feature upgrades pushed automatically via the piARM update channel.
📦 Relay Node Capabilities Overview
🚀 Encrypted session relays for:
Token discovery
Vault synchronisation
P2P bridge coordination
🛰️ Re-broadcast orphaned or dropped proofs for resilience
🧑⚖️ Participate in arbitration and hash validation (opt-in)
📚 Serve peer lists & decentralised metadata lookup
🔍 Optional indexing for vault/token data tracking
💸 Revenue Generation & Node Rewards
We believe community-run infrastructure deserves community-level returns. That’s why piARM Relay Operators will gain:
💰 Session Relay Stipends
Earn micro-rewards in $piARM for securely relaying encrypted messages between wallet sessions.
🧾 Proof Propagation Incentives
Receive compensation for submitting valid, orphaned, or time-sensitive proofs back to the network.
🎯 Role-based Staking Modules(coming soon)
Validators and arbitrators can stake $piARM and receive boosted rewards for uptime, accuracy, and low-latency relay performance.
🏆 Leaderboard & Performance Tiers
Relay operators will be ranked and rewarded based on uptime, session load, and contribution—unlocking perks, NFTs, and exclusive roles in the piARM governance layer.
“Running a piARM Relay is more than helping the network — it’s how you earn, secure, and scale the future.”
🌍 Deployment Use Cases & Impact
💡 Home Hobbyists
Raspberry Pi + SSD combos = low-cost, low-power decentralised nodes
🛰️ Regional Mesh Networks
Especially in under-resourced areas lacking cloud infra — perfect for relay clusters
🏛️ Institutional & Partner Embeds
Optional modules can be embedded into routers, validator machines, or partner tooling
🧪 Dev & Validator Clusters
Run testnets, simulate failures, and contribute to network hardening
🍍 Grow the Mesh — One Pi at a Time
piARM Relays aren’t just infrastructure — they’re a movement. Each node adds to a sovereign, censorship-resistant relay mesh that:
Reduces centralised cloud reliance
Strengthens global uptime
Enables private, encrypted message relaying between wallet users
Powers piARM's unique cold+hot vault syncing, token discovery, and arbitration systems
Whether you’re relaying for passion, for the mission, or for the micro-rewards — there’s a piARM node role waiting for you.
