01 What is a super node?
According to the CTK white paper’s plan, a total of 17 super nodes are needed to provide computing and bandwidth support for the entire network. When Ctk encounters a devastating blow, any node can restore the Ctk network using the freely downloaded node program.
And how do these 17 super nodes come into being? Just like product competition, hardware holders download test-specific test nodes, and whose overall hardware performance ranks among the top 17 who can be elected as the master node.
02 Can anyone run for a super node?
There are a total of 17 main super nodes in the world, and it is not difficult to be one of them. According to the hardware threshold announced by CTK, you want to have at least 128 core processors, 2TB memory, 2x1920GB SSD, and 25Gb bandwidth. The cost of a single server costs hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Secondly, even if the hardware requirements are met, the main super node can only be ranked in the top 17 users with comprehensive performance, so the condition can be said to be difficult.
So far, there are 127 node competitors worldwide, and 17 super nodes have been decided together!
03 How to become a super node?
If you want to participate in the super node competition, you need to download and install the node campaign program announced by CTK official in the github community. The program will automatically detect if the server hardware meets the configuration requirements for becoming a supernode. The system will automatically optimize the hardware performance, block storage speed, network access speed, the top seven super nodes of GPU and CPU computing speed as super nodes, and automatically issue certificates to these seventeen super nodes. This is the first super node in history that has been fully elected by the program through a consensus mechanism!
04 Benefits of becoming a super node?
There are certain special places where so many people can participate in the competition.
Compared with the bottom layer of the traditional blockchain, CTK’s innate characteristics determine a huge room for appreciation.
①The project is completely open source, open and transparent, and your money is locked in the chain through smart contracts, and no one or any organization can take it.
②Ctk is generated by smart contract constants of 24,498,550,000 pieces. All generated Tokens are locked using smart contracts and are only used for mining in “communication mode”. When entering the 1USDT:1Ctk ratio, all the Ctk pools are hollowed out. The annihilation mechanism is carried out from start to finish until the constant deflation reaches 21 million.
③Progressive mode
④Side chain support plan
All USDTs received in the “Progressive mode” will be used to 100% repurchase Ctk, and the repurchased Ctk is 100% used to support the development of the side chain.
Unlike the currency such as USDT, which has no investment value, its unique annihilation mechanism keeps the total number at 21 million, which is extremely scarce. Its unique “community mechanism”, from the beginning of 100USDT: 7000CTK, to the 1USDT: 1CTK of all mines, guarantees a stable appreciation of unilateral rise.
If CTK brings together blockchain applications around the world, what kind of experience is there to have voting rights for this system?
The campaign for the SuperNode is coming to an end soon, so let’s wait and see the results!

01 超级节点到底是什么?
按照CTK白皮书的计划，一共需要17个超级节点，为整个网络提供计算和带宽支持。在Ctk遭遇毁灭性打击的时候，任何一个节点都可以使用免费下载的节点程序还原Ctk网络。
而这17个超级节点如何产生呢?则像产品竞争一样，硬件持有者们去下载竞选专用的测试节点，谁的综合硬件性能排名为前十七名谁就可以当选主节点。
02 谁都可以竞选超级节点吗?
全球一共17个主超级节点，想要成为其中之一难度一定不低。按照CTK公布的硬件门槛，想要成为节点最少需要达到128核处理器，2TB内存，2x1920GB SSD，25Gb带宽。仅一台服务器的成本，一年就高达数十万美元。其次，即使达到了硬件要求，能够成为主超级节点也仅有综合性能排名在前十七位的用户，所以条件可以说是比较困难了。
截止目前为止，全球范围内的节点竞争者一共有127家，共同决出17个超级节点!
03 如何成为超级节点?
若想参与进行超级节点的竞争，那么则需要下载并安装CTK官方在github社区上所公布的节点竞选程序。程序将自动检测服务器硬件是否符合成为超级节点的配置要求。系统会自动优选出硬件性能、区块存储速度、网络访问速度，GPU、CPU运算速度排名前十七位的超级节点作为超级节点，自动给这十七个超级节点发放证书。这是历史上第一个通过共识机制，由程序全自动选举发放的超级节点!
04 成为超级节点的好处?
能够让这么多人共同参与竞争的，一定有着存在其特殊的地方。
CTK和传统区块链底层相比，它天生的特性决定了巨大的升值空间。
①项目完全开源、公开、透明，你的钱通过智能合约锁定在链上，任何人、任何机构拿不走。
②Ctk由智能合约恒量产生24,498,550,000枚，所有产生的Token全部使用智能合约锁定，仅用于“共进模式”进行挖矿。共进至1USDT：1Ctk比例时，所有矿池Ctk挖空。湮灭机制自始至终进行，直至恒量通缩到2100万枚。
③共进模式
④侧链扶持计划
所有在”共进模式”中收到的USDT都将用于百分百回购Ctk，回购到的Ctk百分百用于支持侧链的发展。
不同于泰达币等波澜不惊没有投资价值的币，其独特的湮灭机制，让总数维持在2100万枚，具有极强的稀缺性。其特有的“共进机制”，从开始的100USDT：7000CTK，到全部挖完矿的1USDT：1CTK，保证了单边上扬的稳定升值。
如果CTK集合了全球的区块链应用，那么拥有这个系统的投票权是种怎样的体验?
有关超级节点的竞选很快就要结束了，那么让我们一起拭目以待结果!
