zNodes are the validation layer of the Rivalz DePIN, requiring a license to run, which are distributed through the Rivalz zNode sale. Their primary role is to ensure that the data stored by rClients is valid, unaltered, and secure. Acting as intermediaries between client applications and the rClient network, zNodes process data queries, requests, and file retrievals. They validate data integrity by comparing hash values of files stored on multiple rClients before decrypting and returning the data to the requester. If any discrepancy is found, the zNode flags potential issues, ensuring the network is protected from malicious or faulty data.

The significance of zNodes extends beyond simple validation; they ensure the reliability and security of the entire network. By verifying every interaction with the data stored by rClients, they play a vital role in maintaining the decentralized integrity of the system. Without zNodes, the network could be vulnerable to attacks or data corruption, which could degrade the trustworthiness of the entire system. Validator nodes guarantee that data remains accurate, secure, and trustworthy.
