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
