A DePIN in content delivery networks to earn with idle internet bandwidth, powered by solana.
A 6-month Proof of Resources Epoch, rewarding nodes based on their node capacity.
- Top-performing nodes will receive special NFTs at the end of the epoch.
- Reward rate is based on:
- Connection quality (your uplink speed)
- Reliability (consistent uptime)
- Hardware score (RAM, disk, CPU)
- Location (where your IP is physically based)
- BONUS: Multicast-enabled IPs earn extra points!
- Possible to run with a minimal hardware.
