Network Security Under Load
To maintain security during targeted attacks or peak load periods, the network implements adaptive defense mechanisms with three key components:

First, a reputation-based prioritization system implemented through custom Substrate pallets ensures critical AI computation requests maintain access to storage resources even under heavy network load. This system integrates with the validator staking mechanism to prioritize requests from high-reputation nodes.
Second, a distributed rate-limiting protocol prevents individual nodes or IP ranges from monopolizing network bandwidth. This is enforced through Substrate's off-chain workers monitoring network activity and coordinating rate limits across the validator set.
Third, the network employs path diversity routing managed by off-chain workers that dynamically re-routes requests through alternative node clusters when primary paths experience congestion or attack. The routing intelligence leverages Substrate's networking layer to maintain optimal connectivity.
These mechanisms ensure that even during sustained DDoS attacks targeting specific validators or storage regions, the system can maintain approximately 95% of normal throughput for verified participants through Substrate's resilient architecture.
