Network Layers Overview

RealiOS operates across four main layers, each handling a critical function in the data lifecycle.

Layer	Function	Description
Device Layer	Data generation	Smartphones, IoT devices, and sensors collect encrypted environmental data.
Node Layer	Data aggregation	Devices act as local nodes — encrypting, signing, and uploading data to the network.
Program Layer	Verification & rewards	Solana smart contracts verify, store proofs, and trigger automated payments.
Storage Layer	Permanent data storage	IPFS, Filecoin, or Arweave store encrypted off-chain data linked to Solana hashes.

These layers work together to ensure real-time speed, on-chain verifiability, and long-term immutability.
