As INT Chain’s first use case application in IoT, INT’s Esurfing Blockchain Router has been attracting broader attention around the world since news of pre-sale was released. Starting from 12 am on 11th November the pre-sale was launched on the Taobao online store. As of time of writing, over 500 units were ordered online. Ordered pre-sale routers are scheduled to be sent out by 31st December 2018.


The success of the pilot pre-sale opens up a market for INT’s use cases, as well as increasing awareness and understand of INT Chain, especially with a strong partner such as Zhejiang Telecom. In future, INT’s technology will be applied to more market segments in the IoT field and will make more things connected via INT Chain.

Why did INT Create the Router?

Network and storage resource allocation, today, is still not as efficient as it can be. Home routers still have the following cases:

l Always online

l Low network resource utilization

l Unused idle computing power

Currently, enterprises have filled this gap to an extent by leasing large amounts of network bandwidth and storage space in order to provide resource sharing to better user experiences. However, there is still a huge untapped market in network and storage resource sharing with home routers.

INT co-created the Router with Zhejiang Telecom to establish a resource sharing platform for users to share idle bandwidth and storage space, which can act as edge storage and edge computing, and be aggregated into a resource pool. INT’s aim is to optimally call the recourses in the pool and export them to companies in the field of content, video, games, etc. via various capabilities such as CDN and P2P storage.

How is the INT Esurfing Blockchain Router Different?

Compared to traditional routers, the Esurfing Blockchain Router has a cutting-edge architecture and a more user-friendly experience, pre-installing with a customized operating system.
 
There are three prominent features for the Router: smart routing, CDN sharing rewards and personal private cloud.

Smart Routing

● User-friendly network settings: With a unique setup wizard and quick setup, users can simply set up a few parameters and begin surfing online.
● Powerful bandwidth management: Automatically and manually allocate bandwidth, manage download bandwidth, manage network speed and traffic of each device, and minimum bandwidth guarantee functionality.
● Equipped with an APP: The APP can remotely set up a wireless network, view the status of networked devices, and manage networked devices. Remote parental network control to add or remove access to the network for devices in the household.

CDN Sharing Rewards

Based on a traditional CDN, INT Chain have created a resource sharing system where users can earn money by sharing idle bandwidth and storage. INT developed a PoW of network resources sharing, based on INT Chain blockchain technology. The smart hardware of the router, shared CDN, edge storage, and edge computing, along with INT blockchain and the network ecosystem, all work together to fairly measure, generate and distribute incentive credits between users and businesses.

Personal Private Cloud

The private cloud system installed in the router is a network storage device suitable for a home environment with the functionality of backup and disaster recovery of family data. It is more private than a cloud disk and smarter than a mobile hard disk. You can save, view and share all the files anytime and anywhere through the app, automatically back up your mobile phone photo album without the concerns of loss of photos or lack of memory on your phone. It completely solves the inconvenience of digital data storage, and complicity of data transmission. Storage security is ensured by adopting RSA encryption.

The router has 32GB TF card storage, which is different to other similar devices, and is helpful for smooth access to the private cloud. In practice, this will mean smoother and lag free loading for movies and large photos which are cached in memory. In addition, the router has a USB 3.0 interface to support extension of storage.

What is the Reward Mechanism?

An enterprise can submit a resource rental request and pay rental charges with INT tokens. Users who share their resources are granted the INT tokens as a reward based on their resource sharing record (which can be indicated in the app we created).
 
In future, the router combined with our application scenario will be used as one of the important use cases of INT Chain as we plan to develop dApps in connection with the router. The resource sharing record of users and the resource demand of enterprises will be recorded on the chain. Through smart contracts, the settlement process will be triggered automatically, and INT token rewards will be granted to users.
 
As part of the INT main chain, the router will utilize two steps:
1. User data recorded on chain, centralized settlement;
2. Deploy smart contracts, decentralized automatic settlement.

On November 1st, the winning entries of the INT Gaia Article Competition, which has been drawing much attention, has been announced. The INT Gaia Project has now concluded. We would like to thank the INT global community for the positive response and enthusiastic participation. After preliminary selection, community voting, and team scoring, a total of 20 works were awarded.

Although the Gaia project has come to an end, it is worthwhile for us to pay attention to the designs and articles by the creative and talented participants. We are honored to have had the chance to interview three of the winners.


1. Winner: Nicolas

Work: A look into the future

Inspired by science fiction and believe the virtual world is approaching

“I have always loved science fiction especially those about a future just beyond our time where I can still relate to what goes on in the world but be amazed by what people within it think is commonplace. I don’t think we are far off from a future of one network maintaining large swaths of data, connecting to all networks while having artificially intelligent computers be our daily companions that interact with those networks on our behalf. They are the owners of our private keys and exist to make decision making in our lives seamless. We are almost there with our smartphones. And the implications of this are both fascinating and frightening.”

Know INT because of a heterogeneous multi-chain framework

“I remember reading the Polkadot white paper and being consumed with the possibilities of the heterogeneous multi-chain framework. While I loved what they were doing, I saw the more short-term power in this design by applying it to a more specific field that interacted with many networks and different data types. I went looking for other projects citing this framework or Polkadot as inspiration and came across INT. Its use in IoT is one of the best possible uses for this technology.”

INT is a practical and competitive team

“Well, I thought of what INT has accomplished and the tone they have set currently and tried to extrapolate that 60 years into the future. INT has proven they are not interested in overstating their plans or overinflating their accomplishments. They are building the foundation for a strong network with the ability to adapt. With that attitude and foundation, and after many years of progress, an open-source and cryptographically secure network that accomplishes everything you need would be the needed breath of fresh air after such an event.”

Interoperability — the most competitive advantage of INT

“In my mind, interoperation is going to be the hot topic of the decades to come. I don’t think anyone network can satisfy all needs. A network that can successfully tie the other leading networks together will, therefore, be king. What is often seen in the crypto-project space are projects that set a foundation with scaling or future functionality as a planned bridge to be crossed on the “roadmap” and just create another clone of an overcooked blockchain. INT developed a foundation from the genesis block that will scale and meet the future needs of the IoT ecosystem without accomplishing unrealistic developments. I think that alone will make them competitive.”

Expectation: keep going and make the future with community

Keep working hard in developing what you believe in. Do not settle for solutions just to speed up development. But building this wonderful technology with your heads down is not enough to bring real change in the world. Engage the community and be open about what you are working on. Your passion will bring passion out in others. Let’s all make the future you wish to see a reality.


2. Winner: Sav

Work: INT — Most Undervalued Blockchain Project

Randomly know INT

“I was looking for under-noticed projects in the blockchain IOT space and stumbled on a Reddit discussion about INT.”

With multiple advantages INT will stand out most

“I think INT stands out most from other IOT projects in terms of the depth of experience of the core team, the quality of partners and the rate of real world industry adoption of its technology. Other advantages include government / industry connections in China, one of the world’s fastest growing IoT adopters, and INT’s ability to generate cash flows from its IoT router sales. Furthermore, the fact that INT raised capital via private sale and not ICO now gives it significant advantages in terms of protection from the regulatory net of the SEC.”

Expect INT’s mainnet will further set INT apart from other projects

“I expect that the release of INT’s mainnet will further set INT apart from other projects that are yet to manifest a working product. In terms of partnership acquisition, I see this as a big step forward in perceived credibility and likely to increase the amount of deals being finalised (both in terms of ongoing negotiations and new opportunities. ”

More applications of INT is a matter of time

“I think INT’s decision to use Java script will make adoption smoother, requiring a minimal learning curve for developers looking to build on the platform. I also think INT’s focus on interoperability will be seen as solving one of the most pressing problems facing the IoT industry. Coupled with the security benefits offered by blockchain technology, I think it is a matter of time before the public and private sectors begin to realise the benefits inherent in INT’s technology and look to incorporate it into their IoT strategy. “


3. Winner: Charles Wu

Work: USB design

Friends recommendation: China’s IOTA

“My friends in the currency field recommended to me that INT is similar to IOTA and is a good blockchain Internet of Things project in China.”

Outstanding advantages and great prospects

“First of all, I believe that the Internet of Things will perfectly combine with the blockchain, which can solve practical problems. In addition, the INT team has rich experience and strong technical strength. The INT overseas community is very optimistic about INT. From the perspective of applications, I think the prospect of INT is bright. More importantly, the mainnet will also be launched soon, and I am looking forward to the number of TPS. If these advantages are ranked, it is the team, the partner, the community, and the mainnet.”

More applications are not a dream

“As I said INT team has strong technical strength. And several team members have been working in the field of Internet of Things for many years. It is conceivable that the experience of the industry should be very rich. In addition, INT is well-known overseas in the field of blockchain +Internet of Things. In my opinion, the applications of INT will become more and more widespread in the future.”

Smart contracts have been an idea since 1994 when Nick Szabo first coined the term. Relating to the general idea of digitally facilitating and enforcing a contract, smart contracts have been implemented in a wide range of applications from the simple transferring of bitcoin to more complex trees of contracts that serve as the foundation of decentralized exchanges.

Ethereum is arguably the leader in this space with the ability for anyone to create a smart contract and publish it to the blockchain for the Ethereum Virtual Machine to process whenever called upon.


There is one major handicap in the smart contracts of today, they are only able to act with the data that they are given within the blockchain they reside in. This one-dimensionality limits the capability of the contracts to a small subset of applicability and makes the execution speed of the contract dependent on the congestion in the network at the time. Smart contracts for IoT use would have to be smarter, faster and able to utilize information automatically from multiple sources of differing types.


INT’s multi-chain architecture allows for the creation of subchains based on IoT device or purpose. The idea is to create a network of blockchains, all specifically designed for each IoT device, separate in their function but connected at their core. It does this by treating each subchain as a partition of the state with the subchain nodes processing transactions separate from other chains in order to segregate congestion and maintain availability. With this splitting up of network traffic between subchains, contract execution on one chain is not dependent on congestion experienced in another.


By using namespace region declaration, all data within all subchains is stored in the Thearchy chain and available to any contract. This gives contracts the ability to act with input from different IoT devices and any transactions within the network.


INT’s aim is to create a network suitable for all IoT applications with smart contracts that are as easy to develop as they are to use. INT uses JavaScript, one of the most widely used languages, as the smart contract language paired with the powerful and proven Node.js run-time environment as the execution engine. This pair makes learning and development cost much lower than other proprietary language/VM choices.

Node.js allows developers to easily test smart contracts locally before publishing on the blockchain, further reducing development cost and risk of unknown vulnerabilities. It is specifically designed for throughput and scalability by taking the processing and execution of data and events outside what would be the Virtual Machine and processing it locally on the node. This allows for more network throughput and more complex contracts for cheaper gas consumption.

With Node.js, users can create modules that can handle various core functions of the INT network and all subchains. These use an API that standardizes function calls, greatly reduces the complexity of interacting with the network.


Using INT’s native namespacing and the Node.js API, creating powerful, multi-chain smart contracts will be simple and cheap.

Current Progress

1. Continuous technical perfection of INT main chain

• After all the standard functions related to the INT token were developed, the R&D team immediately followed up and completed the first round of token related testing, during which the technical members found and fixed several bugs about information flow distribution.
