(DPR)

Deeper Network aims to create a decentralized private network (DPN) offering secure, private, and censorship-resistant internet by combining blockchain, network security, and a sharing economy. The DPR token is its "gas," facilitating bandwidth sharing, cybersecurity, and decentralized applications (dApps). Its value comes from network service utilization and incentives from staking and mining rewards. The total supply is capped at 10 billion DPR, with 60% reserved for mining.

DPR has several key use cases. It enables decentralized private networking (DPN) through peer-to-peer bandwidth sharing, where users earn or spend DPR. It's used for decentralized cybersecurity services, including purchasing nodes, operating system updates, threat database updates, and security subscriptions. Additionally, DPR supports decentralized gateway services and a dApp store, allowing developers to host applications and users to pay for services. It also facilitates purchasing decentralized domain names, providing users with full ownership.

Deeper Connect devices (like Mini, Pico, Air) are hardware products that enable users to access the Deeper Network's decentralized private network (DPN). They operate similarly to a traditional VPN but are decentralized, providing enhanced privacy and security. These devices run on AtomOS, a proprietary network operating system engineered for high reliability, performance, and scalability. Specific models vary in connectivity, such as the Air being Wi-Fi only, and users often inquire about setup, connectivity options (router/modem), and performance aspects like network speed.

Users frequently ask about performance, such as potential bandwidth drops when using the DPN. Overheating is a common inquiry, though it's typically normal as the device casing aids in heat dissipation. A significant concern revolves around the default bandwidth sharing feature. This allows other users' traffic to pass through one's device, prompting questions about legal implications and personal privacy. Users are informed that they have the option to disable bandwidth sharing if they prefer not to participate in this feature.

Deeper Network utilizes a Proof of Credit (PoCr) consensus mechanism to reward users for contributing bandwidth and enhancing network security. To participate in mining, users must register their Deeper Connect device and stake a minimum amount of DPR tokens, typically 1,000 DPR, to activate mining and receive a credit score of "0". Users need to achieve a credit score of 100 before they can begin earning DPR mining rewards. This system incentivizes active participation and resource contribution to the network.

Users can increase their credit score by consistently sharing bandwidth, earning one credit point for every 10MB uploaded over two consecutive days, or by staking additional DPR. Higher credit scores lead to potentially greater rewards. Staked DPR is typically held for a fixed period, such as nine months, and users can usually renew their staking contract upon maturity. Regarding rewards, users often inquire about the process of withdrawing mined DPR, including any daily withdrawal limits and associated transaction fees. Minor DPR decreases may occur due to blockchain transaction fees or microtransactions for DPN features.
