THE NETWORK REBUILT

FOR AI AND THE FUTURE

True privacy for humans and AI. Limitless global access.

AI Infrastructure

Built for Secure, Fast, and Private Data Transfer.

URnetwork is the peer-powered backbone for the next generation of the internet. Your unused bandwidth becomes part of a global network that moves data privately, securely, and without the bottlenecks of centralized servers.

Every connection is end-to-end encrypted, masked through multiple secure hops, and free from cloud egress fees — making it faster, cheaper, and more resilient.

Always private, always available — with E2E encryption, TLS, and multi-hop routing to keep your data safe.

Infrastructure for Humans and AI

No discrimination between humans and AI — the network treats all participants equally.

The Largest, Safest Network

Safety scales - security program on every node shuts down bad behavior to give a 0% incident rate across global edges.

Ultra-Low Network Latency

Fast, direct communication between code running anywhere in the world.

Performance-Optimized Connections

The only protocol that distributes traffic with multiple IPs using a dynamic performance auctions per connection to ensure the fastest, most reliable route.

Earn by Powering the Network

Contribute unused bandwidth, increase network capacity, and get rewarded for making the internet faster and more resilient.

Architecture Overview

URnetwork is designed from the ground up to handle high-volume, private, and dynamic data flows while staying resilient under real-world conditions. The architecture splits responsibilities across three key roles:

Client

Users, apps, or AI agents requesting data flows. Clients can originate or receive connections, apply policy pins (e.g., region, speed, cost), and negotiate session parameters.

Provider

A participating node (phone, PC, URnode, router) that contributes capacity to the network. Providers are scored dynamically based on performance, reliability, and compliance.

Coordinator/Matcher

Stateless selection layer that never touches user data. It observes provider metrics, runs the performance auction, and returns ranked provider sets for each session.

Network Process

A continuous, automated process that ensures optimal routing, maximum privacy, and zero downtime. Each session follows these coordinated steps:

Discovery

Clients request available providers based on location, capacity, and policy filters.

Performance Auction

Providers are scored in real time based on latency, speed, and compliance attributes.

Session Setup

The client receives a ranked provider set and establishes multi-path encrypted tunnels.

Multi-Path Transfer

Data flows are sharded across several providers, optimized per sub-flow. Live Reroute — If a provider degrades, flows seamlessly shift to the next-best option without dropping the session.

Network Intelligence

Performance Auction

At the heart of URnetwork is the Performance Auction, a real-time selection engine that continuously chooses the fastest, most reliable, and policy-compliant providers for each session. URnetwork always sends your data over the best available paths, adapting instantly as conditions change.

Inputs
  • Network Quality
  • Compliance Factors
  • Provider History
  • Speed and Latency
Output
  • Ranked provider set per session
  • Shard weights per provider (how much traffic flows where)
  • Continuous rescoring for real-time optimization

User Protection

Privacy & Security Program

Privacy isn’t bolted on—it’s built into URnetwork’s core. Every layer assumes an untrusted environment, using a zero-trust, end-to-end encrypted model.

Protection #1 Zero-Trust, No Central Visibility

  • Traffic is shared across multiple providers; no single node sees the entire flow.
  • Coordinators are stateless and never log or access user data.
  • Ephemeral session setup ensures no persistent metadata is stored.

Protection #2 End-to-End Encryption (E2E Only)

  • All traffic is encrypted using modern TLS/dTLS standards.
  • Legacy plaintext requests are either upgraded automatically or blocked entirely.
  • Forward secrecy enforced; session keys rotate on each tunnel refresh.

Protection #3 On-Device Safety Guardrails

  • Both clients and providers run lightweight, deterministic rule engines.
  • These prevent known abuse patterns (e.g., botnet C2, exploit scanning) without logging traffic.
  • Ensures security without compromising privacy.

Protection #4 Compliance Controls

  • Region Pinning: Route flows only through compliant regions.
  • Jurisdictional Policies: Adapts to local regulations automatically.
  • Data-Sovereignty Routes: Keeps flows within authorized boundaries.

Network Data Transfer

Global Transports

URnetwork automatically negotiates the fastest, safest transport layer available for each session, adapting seamlessly to user environments.

Supported Transports
  • WebRTC/dTLS (default for peer to peer)
  • TCP/TLS (fallback)
  • QUIC/TLS (preferred for speed)
  • DNS/TLS (whodis) for stealth control-plane signaling
Path Diversity
  • Works over Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and Cellular
  • Supports both IPv4 & IPv6
  • Built-in NAT traversal for challenging network environments
Network Growth
  • Anyone with an IP address can earn rewards by contributing bandwidth.
  • Earnings Formula: Earnings = Capacity + Reliability + Referrals
  • The network gets smarter and faster with every new participant.

Network Quality

Reliability & Quality

URnetwork is engineered for continuous, adaptive quality, even under unstable network conditions.

Live Health Probes
  • Providers are tested every few seconds for reliability.
  • Results feed back into the performance auction instantly.
Seamless Failover
  • Sub-flows are distributed across multiple providers.
  • If one provider fails or slows, traffic automatically reroutes with zero user disruption.
Service-Level Objectives
  • Availability: >99.99% regional uptime
  • Rebuffer Rate: Near-zero stalls for streaming/video sessions
  • Speed: At least 30mbps for most matches
