Unicorn Ultra DPN Subnet Infrastructure Overview

Understanding the flow

  • A Client request for DPN service in DPN Subnet

  • DPN Subnet introduces a Contributor Node (DPN Provider)

  • Client and Contributor Node handshake a Private Channel to share the bandwidth and also open a Reporting Channel to report the metrics (fee, duration and measure the bandwidth shared…) for DPN Validator

  • DPN Validators verify the session and process the payment after a session is closed.

  • DPN Validators submit proof of activities to U2U Mainnet
