How It Works

This section explains the core concepts behind the [Project Name] Browser Extension.

Passive Bandwidth / IP Sharing

When active, the extension securely connects your device to the [Project Name] DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network). It allows validated requests from our network to be routed through your internet connection, utilizing your IP address.

• What is shared? Primarily, your IP address is used as a gateway for web requests. Only a small amount of your bandwidth is typically consumed.

• Is it passive? Yes, it runs in the background requiring no active input from you after setup.

Web Data Collection (The Use Case)

The bandwidth you share is used primarily for web scraping – the automated collection of publicly available data from websites. This data powers various legitimate business needs:

• Market Research: Understanding trends, pricing, and competition.

• AI Model Training: Gathering diverse datasets to train artificial intelligence systems.

• Search Engine Optimization (SEO): Analyzing website rankings and content.

• Brand Monitoring: Tracking online mentions and reviews.

Our Commitment: We focus on ethical data collection from public sources only. We employ techniques to avoid impacting website performance and respect website policies where possible. See Security & Privacy for more.

Decentralized Network (DePIN)

Instead of relying on expensive, easily detectable datacenter IPs, [Project Name] uses a distributed network of real residential IPs provided by users like you. This creates a more robust, resilient, and realistic network for data collection tasks.

Reward Mechanism

You are compensated for contributing your resources to the network. Key points:

• Earnings are influenced by factors like your connection uptime, the demand for bandwidth in your region, and the successful completion of data tasks via your connection. [Add more specific factors if known].

• Rewards are paid out periodically (see Rewards & Payouts) in a combination of:

  • USDC: A stablecoin pegged to the US Dollar.

  • SOL: The native token of the Solana blockchain.

  • [MyCoin Name]: Our native utility token, required for participation.
