Meson Network is committed to creating an efficient bandwidth marketplace on Web3, using a blockchain protocol model to replace the traditional labor-based sales models, consolidating and monetizing idle bandwidth from long-tail users at a low cost. Meson Network is the foundation of data transmission for decentralized storage, computation, and the emerging Web3 Dapp ecosystem.

Meson is trying to create the world’s largest bandwidth marketplace in the future. Here, users can exchange their unused bandwidth resources with Meson for tokens, and those who need bandwidth will come to Meson’s market to borrow bandwidth anywhere in the world. To achieve this goal, we cannot simply use the direct sales model.

Meson Network has raised a total of $9.4M in funding over 3 rounds.

Prerequisite and Rules

-A Static(Public) IP or A DHCP Reservation

-Opening the port of the firewall (default: 443, support for custom server ports)

-Providing enough Storage (default minimum requirements: 20G)

Mining Rules:

-Mining Score = Bandwidth Score * Storage Score * Credit Score

--Basically, Bandwidth is the most important related fact for BandwidthScore.

-And, Storage Space is necessary to cache the files for StorageScore.

-In addition, standing and stable servers will have a higher CreditScore.

-Also, there will be some reward adjustments for servers in different regions.
