# Components and Their Functions

The Taτsu Identity Protocol operates within the Bittensor blockchain framework, employing a unique interaction model between Validators and Miners to manage digital identities effectively and securely.

### **Validators**

Validators are pivotal in aggregating individual profile details into a comprehensive entity called a Profile Synapse. They are central to the integrity of the identity verification process.

**Detailed Process:**

* Validators collect disparate data elements from an individual's various digital profiles.
* They synthesize this data into the Profile Synapse, a structured representation of an individual's digital identity.
* Validators compare the Human Score calculated by Miners to a benchmark to ensure accuracy, then validate the score's legitimacy.
* Rewards are computed based on the accuracy and reliability of the Miners' scores and submitted to the blockchain for transparency.

### **Miners**

Miners are responsible for the computational aspects of the verification process, specifically the calculation of the Human Score, which assesses the authenticity of the digital identity.

**Detailed Process:**

* Miners initiate the verification process by querying Profile Synapses through their Axon interfaces.
* They process the retrieved profile data to calculate the Human Score, applying algorithms that assess the data’s validity and coherence.
* Once calculated, the Human Score is serialized and transmitted back to the Validators via the Dendrite, a secure communication pathway.
