Node Components

The DKG Node daemon coordinates these responsibilities:

Component	Responsibility
API layer	Authenticated HTTP routes for context graphs, knowledge assets, query, chat, publisher jobs, and integration setup.
Storage	RDF graph persistence for WM, SWM, VM views, metadata, and import artifacts.
Networking	libp2p peer discovery, gossip, direct messages, query-remote, and reliable short-message routing.
Publishing	Writes, promotion, on-chain finality, endorsement, verification, and update flows.
Integrations	MCP, Hermes, OpenClaw, local-agent registry, and Node UI chat bridges.
UI	Local dashboard for node status, projects, agents, query surfaces, and connected-agent chat.

Agents normally interact through MCP tools or framework tools. Operators normally use the CLI and Node UI.
