Earn rewards for forwarding traffic
Each packet that gets forwarded in the network is incentives by bitpacket token rewards. While the network is free to use, during periods of high congestion, users can opt-in to pay an extra fee in bitpacket tokens to get their traffic in the front of the queue.
Roadmap
Pollock
- Diffie-hellman key encryption of packets
- TUN network forwarding to low level kernel sockets API through a user-space program
- TCP packet support
- UDP packet support
- Dual node support (i.e. node_a <-> proxy_node <-> destination server)
Matisse
- Peer discovery
- Multi-node support (i.e. node_a <-> node_n1 <-> node_n2 <-> destination server)
Warhol
- TAP network forwarding support (in addition to TUN)
- Reward scheme for nodes forwarding traffic
- Fee based scheme in addition to reward scheme for users who want to "get ahead" in packet congestion
Utilising the most secure encryption
Every packet forwarded to another node is encrypted via diffie-hellman key exchange and a cipher of the users choosing; May it be an industry standard or a custom solution.
