App developers can then choose from existing Clusters or create their own to tailor their specific infrastructure and security needs. Nodes looking to form a new Cluster for general use can compete for user adoption across many axes including number of nodes, price, reputation, performance, cryptoeconomic security, jurisdiction, and hardware-based security. Developers then have the power to pick their own point on the tradeoff space and decide what matters to them – keeping them in control. ### The Coordination Layer The Coordination Layer is a blockchain that manages shared resources for the whole Nillion Network. It’s built on top of the Cosmos SDK stack and such as rewards, cryptoeconomic stake, and governance, as well as enabling inter-cluster coordination. Since it’s intended purely for coordination purposes, the chain doesn’t have an open execution environment for running smart contracts. -### The Petnet -The Petnet is made up of separate Clusters of nodes that offer different technologies and products, with the goal of allowing anyone to come and spin up their own Cluster.
