#BetaMainnet Introducing Heimdall and Bor - Matic’s Validator and Block Production layers Matic Network is a hybrid Plasma + Proof-of-Stake (PoS) platform that uses a dual-consensus architecture to optimize for speed and decentralization. We have been actively working on the Validator and Block Producer nodes iteration, which will be released in the upcoming Beta mainnet. Heimdall, meaning ‘the All-Protector’ is our Proof-of-Stake Verifier layer, which is responsible for checkpointing a representation of the Plasma blocks to the main chain in our architecture. The Bor node, or the Block Producer implementation, is the sidechain operator which is EVM-compatible. Block Producers are chosen from the Validator set and are shuffled using historical Ethereum block hashes. However, we are exploring sources of randomness for this selection. We are excited to be rolling out these crucial components of our network in our upcoming Beta mainnet release!
