Technical Documentation

Comprehensive documentation on the technology, economic model, and vision of UPGO.IO for a decentralized bandwidth sharing system on Solana.

VERSION 1.0JANUARY 2026UPGO.IO PROTOCOL

Abstract

UPGO.IO introduces a decentralized bandwidth sharing protocol built on the Solana blockchain, enabling individuals and organizations to monetize unused internet bandwidth through a P2P relay network. The protocol leverages Solana's high throughput and low transaction costs to create a sustainable ecosystem where participants earn $BNC tokens for contributing network resources.

The Relay Leaf SDK provides cross-platform deployment supporting over 10 programming languages on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android. Key features include: automatic node discovery via a distributed discovery service, YAMUX stream multiplexing for efficient connection handling, built-in proxy support (SOCKS5/HTTP), and automatic reconnection with exponential backoff.

This document presents the full technical specifications, economic model with $BNC token distribution, and development roadmap for the decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) enabling global-scale bandwidth sharing.

01
Executive Summary

Vision

UPGO.IO aims to become the world's largest decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) for bandwidth sharing. By allowing anyone with an internet connection to participate in the network, we democratize access to distributed computing resources while creating a new source of passive income for participants.

The Problem

P2P Relay Network

YAMUX Multiplexing

Stream multiplexing protocol enabling multiple concurrent streams over a single connection, reducing overhead and increasing throughput.

Automatic Discovery

Automatic node discovery via a distributed discovery service to select optimal nodes based on latency and availability.

Proxy Support

Built-in SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy support for routing connections through intermediate servers when needed.

Auto-Reconnect

Automatic reconnection with exponential backoff ensures network stability and continuous uptime for nodes.

Solana Integration

UPGO leverages the Solana blockchain for token management, reward distribution, and governance. Solana was chosen for its high throughput (65,000+ TPS), low transaction costs (averaging $0.00025), and sub-second finality — essential factors for real-time bandwidth reward calculations.
