# Data Validation Layer

**Validator Nodes**

* Community-operated nodes validate data integrity, perform anomaly detection, and verify device signatures.
* Validators recompute CIDs and reach quorum before anchoring results on-chain.<br>

**On-chain Anchoring**

* Validated CIDs are recorded immutably on Monad, ensuring settlement-grade performance with high throughput and sub-second finality.<br>

**Reputation & Incentives**

* A reputation system rewards consistent validators with higher incentives.
* Rewards are distributed transparently via smart contracts, ensuring honesty and liveness.
