coming back to your question, the entire cloud will be split in regions. all the nodes in a region will join a "vpn-like" network and all the traffic between them will be encrypted. there will be different kind of nodes: network, storage, compute and region controller. we will use a proof-of-stake trust mechanism. here's the basics of this: each node will need to put some money at stake to take part in the network (different amounts depending on how crucial it's role is in the network). it can take most of it back when it leaves the network. if the node underperforms or drops workload, we will issue penalties that will be removed from it's staked amount. also every workload (network, compute or storage) will be replicated across at least 2 nodes in the region (storage will be replicate outside the region too).
