Proof of Bandwidth

Session's Proof of Bandwidth is an innovative mechanism that ensures network quality and fair rewards distribution across our decentralized infrastructure. Think of it as a smart performance evaluation system that continuously monitors and rewards nodes based on their real contribution to the network.

How Does It Work?

At its core, Proof of Bandwidth evaluates nodes through a comprehensive set of performance metrics:

  • Connection quality and stability

  • Data transfer speeds

  • Response times, Latency & Jitter

  • Geographic distribution

This data comes together to generate a dynamic node score, which determines how rewards are distributed. The better your node performs, the more rewards it earns – it's that straightforward!

Automatic Rewards Distribution

We've designed the system to automatically stream rewards based on real-time performance. There's no manual claiming or complex procedures – nodes receive rewards based on their uptime & bandwidth contribution

Built-in Protection

To maintain network integrity and protect honest participants, our system includes sophisticated security measures:

  • Advanced detection mechanisms identify attempts to game the rewards

  • Automated monitoring catches potential sybil attacks (where someone tries to run multiple nodes on the same device, or is trying to mask their location via a VPN)

  • Smart penalties automatically adjust rewards when suspicious activity is detected
