Zenlayer and Syntropy join forces to deliver low-latency networking to Web3

Syntropy, an open project providing next-generation connectivity technology for the Internet, is announcing a strategic partnership with Zenlayer, a world leader in edge cloud. Zenlayer has the most distributed and hyperconnected infrastructure in the world’s fastest-growing economic regions, operating more than 270 Points of Presence across 45+ countries. Zenlayer will join the OBX infrastructure on the supply side and act as one of the founding members of OBX, contributing to the robust pace of the Web3 industry.

Under the agreement, Zenlayer will bring its edge infrastructure to the Syntropy network through the Open Bandwidth Exchange (OBX), giving Syntropy’s users access to instantly scalable, high-performing network services in emerging global markets across Asia, South America, the Middle East, and Africa.

Optimized bandwidth will become available to everyone looking for the fastest Internet connection to power their services. Syntropy’s native NOIA token will be used as a medium of exchange on the OBX marketplace, allowing Zenlayer to tokenize its networking infrastructure, making it one of the first precedents in the Web3 industry to tokenize bandwidth.

About Open Bandwidth Exchange

Open Bandwidth Exchange (OBX) is a decentralized application (dApp), which provides its clients with the ability to route their data through publicly available networks in a secure and optimized way provided by relay node operators. The Open Bandwidth Exchange will outcompete traditional bandwidth markets by rebalancing incentives and making it easier for internet users to buy and sell connectivity in digital space.

Network operators have struggled to generate revenue from unused links across their infrastructure for years. With Syntropy’s technology, all ISPs and businesses can now open up their networks and utilize a vast part of their infrastructure that wasn’t used and accessible before. Large ISPs like PCCW Global can trade Internet bandwidth in an open market, using Syntropy’s $NOIA token as the medium of exchange. Syntropy is the first in the Web3 industry to make bandwidth a tokenized commodity and thus positioning NOIA as a true utility token.

More About Syntropy Project

Syntropy is building a Layer 0 protocol for the future of web3 infrastructure. The connectivity layer for the internet is currently not decentralized when it comes to routing consumer information. The Syntropy mission is to implement our technology to return the Internet to its original vision, a distributed, secure utility – accessible for all, and not monopolized by centralized organizations. Through tokenization, a new economic model can be introduced that monetizes bandwidth and creates a market that produces heightened efficiency for all users.

Syntropy Technology

There are several technical components that are essential to creating this new Layer 0 protocol. A central piece is the Distributed Autonomous Routing Protocol or “DARP”. DARP is based on distributed ledger technology and enables low latency connections with consistent reliability by organizing, tracking, and routing for optimized paths between users and applications.

Another core technology of the project is the Syntropy Stack – a plug-and-play tool built by the Syntropy team to allow DevOps, network engineers, and developers to easily configure their networks for scalable, optimized connections. The difficulty usually associated with building and maintaining this advanced functionality is abstracted away behind a sleek UI and powerful prebuilt libraries.

Distributed Autonomous Routing Protocol

DARP is the distributed autonomous routing protocol that Syntropy uses to understand and analyze the Internet’s pathways. Granted patent by USPTO, patent number 11,271,851.

DARP nodes constantly share latency information, creating a global intelligence layer for Internet pathways. In addition, DARP nodes relay network traffic when they provide a superior route versus the default public Internet path, earning NOIA tokens for their contributions.

It can guide packets along a better network path based upon measurements, including lower latency, lower jitter, higher throughput, lower packet loss, lower energy burn path, etc. Instead of a singular default Internet path, DARP gives the best path to a complete matrix of measured network paths.

Technology is rapidly decentralizing, but all of this decentralization still requires the public Internet to connect and communicate. Unfortunately, the Internet of today is highly centralized, preventing the true democratization of technology. If we want to decentralize everything, we need to start with the actual Internet.

There are at least several problems with the current Internet setup:

• Different ISPs may use different routing protocols;
• Different ISPs may configure their protocols differently or even use less capable hardware;
• ISPs are optimizing for the lowest cost, thus they are more inclined to route via cheaper and less performant paths;
• Interoperability between different protocols is limited;
• The end-user has no control over how their traffic is being routed;
• The least-hops path might not be the most reliable (current routing protocols do not optimize for jitter and packet loss and rarely optimize for latency).
• All this contributes to the heterogeneity of the Internet making efficient routing incredibly difficult.

Syntropy decentralizes the Internet at its core without sacrificing compatibility with current protocols. It results in a safer, faster Internet experience that allows true decentralization to begin.

Syntropy Roadmap

In Phase I, Syntropy’s immediate focus ahead of launching the Syntropy DARP Network and other future products is preparing our ecosystem and community for what’s in store. To achieve mass adoption of our Web3 protocols and the Syntropy DARP Network, we are investing in corporate partnerships and sales efforts to establish Syntropy’s technology in the B2B market.

In Phase II, Syntropy Stack will rebrand to dStack, cementing our commitment to building Web3-powered solutions. Users will be able to log into dStack with their crypto wallet, enabling the $NOIA utility within dStack. This is the beginning of expanding $NOIA utility and making $NOIA equivalent to bandwidth and connectivity potential across the Syntropy DARP Network.

In Phase III, The Syntropy Blockchain will also evolve, opening up the Syntropy ecosystem to traffic and Web3 integrations. The Syntropy Amber Chain thus provides a solution to help scale high-transaction throughput networking use cases. It may also facilitate the connection and management of dApp infrastructure deployed across multiple chains, serving as a liquidity layer to settle transactions faster for multichain use cases

In Phase IV, In this phase, Syntropy will have established dStack. In preparation for the Public SDN to move out of Beta and be available for all internet users, our next aim will be to establish both the supply and demand sides of the Open Internet Exchange.

In Phase V, Syntropy begins to enable Blockchain Defined Networking features. This means that by using the Syntropy Blockchain, internet users and application owners will be able to deploy configurations and establish networks over the blockchain using completely decentralized methods. It is a massive milestone in the mission to decentralize the telecommunications industry and shift incentives on the internet to be user-focused.

Syntropy’s Customer

Gaming giant Entain has publicly announced that it has incorporated Syntropy’s technology into its cutting-edge enterprise technology stack. Entain is on an exciting growth path exploring and leading the way for entertainment in the metaverse, NFTs, and other interesting projects. Syntropy helps Entain provide its customers with the best online experience, improving network performance, security, and ease of use for its very popular modern sports betting and Web3 services.
