The Block Builder is a key component of the INTMAX network, responsible for constructing and proposing new L2 blocks. Its primary role is to collect transactions submitted by users who wish to transfer assets or interact with the network, and then record those transactions in valid blocks.
Operating as a permissionless node, the Block Builder allows anyone to participate in block production without needing approval from a centralized authority. This open participation model makes the system unstoppable and resistant to censorship.
By playing a crucial role in finalizing on-chain data, the Block Builder ensures the network remains decentralized, resilient, and continuously updated with user activity. It is not merely a technical component, but a foundation that upholds one of the network’s core values: trustlessness—the ability to operate securely without relying on any central authority or trusted third party.
Whether you’re an individual enthusiast or an infrastructure provider, running a Block Builder enables you to actively support the network while earning rewards for your contribution.
