PROVIDER ECONOMY
Anyone can provide infrastructure.
The Kronex economy is built around specialized providers. Additional provider classes can be introduced as the network expands.

- Compute Provider

03 · PERFORMANCE BECOMES MEASURABLE
Performance becomes measurable
Price alone should not determine which provider receives an order.
The Kronex marketplace can build provider reputation using measurable information such as
- uptime
- successful executions
- response time
- delivery accuracy
- dispute history
- collateral
- order volume
- execution quality
Applications can automatically choose providers according to their own requirements.

The provider explorer as it stands before the marketplace has rows.

Sort and filter are the controls the explorer ships with. They are disabled until there is something to sort.
05 · COMPETE ON SERVICE, NOT ACCESS
Compete on service, not access
Kronex aims to avoid permanently privileged infrastructure operators.
Providers should compete according to measurable characteristics
- Price
- Performance
- Reliability
- Reputation
- Collateral
- Latency
- Privacy
- Capacity
A competitive provider economy makes the network stronger as participation grows.
