Deeper Network

About Deeper Network

Deeper Network combines blockchain, network security, and sharing economy to create a global peer to peer network that empowers the real users of the internet and paves the way for the next generation of the web. Deeper Connect is a blockchain-powered all-in-one solution that provides true internet freedom with enhanced security and a frictionless user experience. The design philosophy of Deeper Connect is plug-and-play with zero configuration. Users can enjoy the protection of network security without the need to jump through any hoops. Neither technical knowledge nor a complex user manual is needed. All one needs to do is plug the device in between the modem and the router, power on the device, and enjoy all its benefits: circumventing censorship, protection against cyberattacks, set parental controls, participate in network bandwidth sharing and blockchain mining. Deeper Connect has seen generations of iterations ranging from 1) Deeper Connect Lite to 2) Deeper Connect Mini to 3) Deeper Connect Nano and now 4) Deeper Connect Pico, with each version more miniaturized. The vision of Deeper Connect has always been to make it as close to that of an ethernet cable as possible with the belief that 11 great technology blends into the background and gets out of users’ way. The Deeper Connect Pico represents the latest embodiment of that ethos. The Deeper Connect range of devices has seen tremendous user adoption since its inception with thousands sold around the world; the Deeper Connect Mini is one of the top products on Indiegogo. Plight of the Web 2.0 Era. Information replication began when Bi Sheng invented the first movable type using materials of porcelain. 100 years later, Johannes Gutenberg created the movable-type printing press in Europe. Nowadays, 1,000 years since Bi Sheng’s invention, the internet is the most evolved technology to share and store information as it represents an incredible acceleration in information flow, giving easily accessible information to billions of people. Just like the printing press did back then, the Internet has revolutionized the diffusion of knowledge, this not being any longer the exclusive property of elites. The rapid development of internet technology has led us to this critical inflection point in history: the world we live in is profoundly being changed by data. With the rise of the Web 2.0 era, data has become more personal, as entire digital identities are built on the internet. As a matter of fact, In 2013, IBM proclaimed the importance of data, being for the “21st century what steam power was for the 18th, electricity for the 19th and hydrocarbons for the 20th”. Yet the importance of data, the population largely remains unaware of the dangers of having personal data controlled by a select few entities, and the power they now wield over us. Solutions for a More Secure, Private, and Fair Internet. Deeper Connect has seen generations of iterations ranging from 1) Deeper Connect Lite to 2Deeper Connect serves as both a node in a decentralized private network and a next-gen firewall in the home network. Decentralized private networks are serverless and distributed; user data can never be logged, leaked, hacked, or subpoenaed. A layer 7 enterprise-grade firewall secures the user’s entire home network. It blocks ads and trackers, monitors web traffic, and filters NSFW, NSFC on all internet devices. <b>AtomOS</b> The core of Deeper Connects network security prowess lies with AtomOS, a network operating system designed and developed by Deeper. AtomOS is the world’s first lock-free network operating system. The system properties of high availability, high performance, and high scalability all hinge upon its state-of-the-art lock-free design. <b>Trident Protocol</b> Deeper developed its own Trident protocol, a decentralized, shared communications protocol based on the blockchain with adaptive tunneling, and intelligent routing technologies to provide in-depth security protection as well as an improved user experience. It circumvents network censorship, secures data transmissions, maximizes the use of network bandwidth, and reduces delays in the data packet transmission process. This is achieved thanks to the efficient integration of network technologies such as intranet penetration, data encryption, protocol camouflage, and tunnel layer congestion control. <b>IP Multiplexing</b> Deeper’s patented IP multiplexing technology enables zero IP address configuration and the intelligent adaptation of the router’s IP address to automatically interface with the internet achieving the true plug and play experience for Deeper Connect devices. The goal of Deeper Connect is to provide a plug-and-play hardware solution to security, sharing economy, and blockchain – an all-in-one solution. The highlights of Deeper Connect hardware are described below. <b>Cross-Platform</b> Deeper Connect is designed to be compatible with different hardware platforms. AtomOS has been successfully running on both Intel and ARM64 processors, allowing Deeper to take advantages of both platforms – Intel processors are powerful enough to handle all kinds of high network overload scenarios, which enables Deeper to not only cover the complex use cases of home networks, but also satisfy the enterprise-level requirements. On the other hand, the ARM platform is famous for low energy consumption and low cost, which is sufficient for routine home network needs and different kinds of mobile use cases. In the future, Deeper also has plans for ARM32 products, which would further reduce the hardware cost to under $10. <b>Low Energy Consumption</b> According to digiconomist’s assessment [4], the accumulated total annual energy consumption of bitcoin mining worldwide reached 68.81 billion kWh; six times of the energy consumption for May 2017 (11.57 billion kWh). The energy consumption of all bitcoin miners around the world is equivalent to that of the Czech Republic, which is 0.31% of global energy consumption. The average energy consumption for each bitcoin transaction is 968 kWh, the same as the energy consumption of 32 U.S. families in one day. Currently, Bitcoin’s annual carbon emissions amount to 33.85 million tons, or 1,300 kilograms of carbon per bitcoin The unique design of Deeper’s PoCr consensus algorithm solves this issue by enabling mining rigs to participate in consensus networks with extremely low computing resources. Deeper Connect utilizes low consumption embedded processors to build a consensus network and network sharing. The maximum energy consumption of a Deeper Connect device is 15 watts. Deeper Connect Mini has a maximum energy consumption of 5W <b>Hardware Wallet</b> Deeper’s security hardware also integrates a cryptocurrency wallet feature to provide users with the highest level of cryptocurrency security without needing any knowledge of blockchain or network security from the users. Deeper Connect provides multiple security guarantees with AtomOS, which makes it impossible for crackers and malicious organizations to remotely obtain control of the hardware. As a result, the key information stored in the device is inaccessible to crackers. Additionally, malicious attacks will be identified and recorded to help catch crackers. Deeper Connect employs triple encryption technology to guarantee the security of storage devices. Even if the hardware device is lost, nobody can crack into the data stored on the device. Triple encryption technology includes block device encryption, file system encryption, and file encryption. Tokenomics Overview. DPR, Deeper’s native token, is used for financial incentives and payments for various services. It’s the main value currency of the Deeper Network. The total supply of DPR is 10 billion. Of this, 6 billion is allocated as block rewards. The initial block rewards consist of genesis staking and network bandwidth sharing reward. The number of DPR created per block decreases as the network grows. The two main mechanisms involved in DPR tokens are micropayments (closely related to Proof of Credit) and staking (closely related to Proof of Equity). <b>Token Economic Distribution Plan</b> Our token’s abbreviation is DPR (Deeper Token). Tokens are issued through statutory value in the form of Ethereum deposits. Total tokens to be issued by the Deeper project: 10 billion (10,000,000,000). Unsold DPR tokens will be reassigned to mining pool and bounty projects for community participants.
