$ (NOIA) Syntropy - Incentivised routing protocol being dubbed "the new internet"

[419]

I've been debating whether or not to make a thread on this for a fair while now, but I figured by now I couldn't pass up on it just from how enticing the premise of it sounded to me and also how ridiculously stable its token has remained at the moment even while most of the alt market has been kind of poopooing alongside BTC.

Founded in 2017, Syntropy, formerly NOIA Network, is a technology for web traffic routing and content delivery and caching that aims to in a sense revamp the public internet, with a focus on security, performance and user-centricity in mind. Since its founding, it has received attention and support from numerous high-profile tech enterprises such as Intel, Oracle and Verizon, and has been featured on outlets such as Bloomberg (archive) and Forbes (archive), which have occasionally dubbed it as the "new internet".

I'm curious to see what the rest of the forum thinks about this, however, and what discussion could be had about both the project itself and the underlying tech. Could this be good after all or will it just be a pipe dream?

Hmm never heard of this before, looks interesting!

Genesis Node Event Launches April 13​

Our Distributed Autonomous Routing Protocol — which drives route optimizations on Syntropy — will become a living organism.​

It’s been an exciting week for our #60daysofgrowth initiative.

We recently added Joe Weinman — former executive at AT&T, HP, and Telx — to our strategic advisory board to drive enterprise adoption of our network. We also launched self-service for Syntropy Stack, paving the way for mainstream adoption on top of our 500+ existing users.

Today, we’re announcing the launch date for another major milestone: DARP Genesis Node Event. On April 13, our Distributed Autonomous Routing Protocol will become a living organism, fueled by the community itself.




Earlier this year, we completed three rounds of Community Access to verify our code stability while testing the ability to add and remove community nodes to our network pre-launch backbone, which includes nodes on nearly every cloud and VPS provider on the planet.


During Community Access, we exceeded our node targets several times, with dozens of community members connecting their devices and instances to the DARP network.

We not only added more real-time proof that Syntropy can optimize a huge chunk of internet traffic, but also demonstrated that DARP is capable of autonomously adding new nodes to its global intelligence layer.

On April 13, we’ll formally launch DARP’s Genesis Node. The next step will be plugging this network into the rest of the tech stack to facilitate routing optimizations.

What was Community Access?​

After successful internal testing, we took DARP public in March of 2021. Community Access rolled out in stages, providing an opportunity to assess performance and stability as the system scaled. All rounds proved successful, paving the way for the official Genesis Node Event.

What is the Genesis Node Event?​

The Genesis Node Event is the moment DARP becomes a living organism. Anyone will be able to add or subtract nodes at will, at any time. Access is completely open and autonomous.

This is the growing network that will be plugged into the rest of our tech stack to provide a real-time intelligence layer that drives route optimizations for traffic sent via Syntropy.

Linux and Windows access will be available immediately, with Mac access in development. As with any launch, our team will monitor the network over time, iteratively learning, fixing bugs, and working to expand access to more setups.

Is there a waitlist?​

We manually onboarded users during the Community Access rounds to ensure a proper rollout. During the Genesis Node Event, participation will be open to all. There are no limits on the number of nodes DARP can accommodate.

What will it look like?​

You can view the current DARP user interface here. We are constantly improving the user interface through internal testing and community feedback.

Do I need tokens to join?​

To simplify access and broaden community participation, tokens will be enabled once DARP is connected with the rest of the tech stack to facilitate route optimizations.

Don’t Miss Out​

Monitor our Twitter and Telegram channels to be sure you know when and how to participate. We’ll be releasing more details shortly. See you soon!
