Dogelayer is composed of three primary actors—Miners, Proxy, and Validators—working together to produce, aggregate, evaluate, and reward Scrypt mining contribution.

🧩 Component Breakdown

Core Module (dogelayer/core)

Foundation utilities used across validator and miner components:

• Constants — Network identifiers & protocol constants
• Storage — Pluggable backends (JSON, Redis)
• Pricing — Cryptocurrency price APIs
• Chain Data — Blockchain data ingestion
• Utils — Shared helper functions

Validator Module (dogelayer/validator)

Implements validator-side logic:

• Validator — Core validator engine
• Storage — Local state persistence
• Connection Manager — Handles Subtensor chain connectivity
• Metrics — Tracks performance and validator operations

Miner Module (dogelayer/miner)

Implements miner-side logic:
