Actors: The Software Components
Key actors such as the Storage Miner Actor, Market Actor, Power Actor, and Reward Actor coordinate the network's economic, operational, and consensus mechanisms. the Power Actor tracks storage power contributions of miners, affecting their eligibility for mining rewards and consensus participation; and the Reward Actor distributes block rewards based on storage power and consensus rules. Together, these actors, supported by Account Actors that represent user accounts and manage FIL balances, form a robust ecosystem that ensures data integrity, incentivizes decentralized storage, and maintains network security and growth.
