# 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. URnetwork Benefits # Protocol Features The peer-powered tools and infrastructure you need to automate, accelerate, and secure the future of the internet ## Private & Secure by Design 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. ###### 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 # URnetwork Community ## Open Source Technology URnetwork isn’t a black box; it’s **fully auditable, verifiable, and open source**. ## Code Transparency - Client, server, and deployment tools are public - Contributions are peer-reviewed - Security disclosures handled via standard CVE processes - Regularly pen tested - MASA L2 ## Reproducible Builds - Each artifact has **deterministic build outputs** - Verifiable git tags ensure **binary integrity** of the code in production - Supply chain integrity enforced from source to release ## No Data Collection - Simple [privacy policy](/content/es/privacy/index.html) clearly documents **what URnetwork collects** - just account information - Privacy preserving algorithms work on encrypted and hashed values ## BENEFITS ### How to Participate Become a network provider and reap the rewards. Get paid for your unused bandwidth. ### URnetwork Apps URnetwork has a variety of apps on multiple platforms ### Code ```bash 1 2 3 4 5 docker run --mount type=bind,source=$HOME/.urnetwork,target=/root/.urnetwork --restart no -d bringyour/community-provider:g4-latest provide ``` ### Your Hardware The protocol can be run on your existing hardware so you have complete control. ## FAQs # We’ve Got the Answers You’re Looking For - How is URnetwork different from a traditional VPN? - Can providers see my data? - How do I earn by providing bandwidth? - What is the Performance Auction and why does it matter? - Is my location or identity exposed when I connect?
