Blockchain can reshape digital communication, and SendingNetwork details how this can be achieved in its newly released white paper.

Blockchain fundamentally transforms digital communication by addressing key issues such as interoperability, data ownership, and privacy. User-centric Web3 platforms like SendingNetwork play a crucial role in this transformation, empowering users with ownership of their data.

Modern communication protocols and technologies offer tremendous opportunities for a connected world. However, fundamental issues and limitations prevent the digital age from realizing its full potential.

Interoperability is a prominent challenge that hinders seamless interaction between different digital platforms. Another critical issue is data ownership. By using various online services, users often relinquish control over their data by accepting terms of service. Additionally, privacy concerns remain contentious, as the assurances of social media platforms are inconsistent with their ability to access and monitor user conversations.

Blockchain technology emerges as a promising approach to address these communication challenges—providing potential solutions for interoperability, data ownership, and privacy. Developers can use blockchain to create on-chain messaging and interconnection methods, relying on peer-to-peer (P2P) network protocols for message transmission. However, it also has drawbacks, including a lack of real-time communication, decentralization, and network latency.

Three-Layer Approach to Decentralized Communication

SendingNetwork is a Web3 communication platform that adopts an innovative approach to address the persistent issues associated with digital interactions, providing users with a permissionless, autonomous, private, and scalable communication environment. The platform was unveiled in a white paper released by SendingLabs, a studio dedicated to developing decentralized and encrypted communication infrastructure. The document outlines SendingNetwork's decentralized communication approach, aimed at setting new standards in the Web3 space.

SendingNetwork changes the way data ownership and user autonomy are approached in Web3 communication platforms. The platform enables projects based on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) to seamlessly integrate communication tools into their software. SendingNetwork's integration capabilities enhance connectivity and interactivity within the Web3 space, meeting the evolving needs of decentralized applications and their users.

SendingNetwork is designed as a multifunctional tool that attracts projects aiming to establish decentralized communication infrastructure, whether in gaming, wallets, or stock markets. This adaptability makes SendingNetwork a key resource across a wide range of digital applications.

SendingNetwork's unique three-layer "client-edge blockchain" architecture absorbs the advantages of decentralized communication stacks while addressing their limitations. This structure ensures robustness and user-friendliness, a rare combination in today's complex digital environment.

The client layer acts as a secure digital vault, encrypting and storing user data on personal devices. Users can flexibly connect through local P2P nodes for tighter connections or through delegated nodes for broader coverage, emphasizing trust and user choice.

The edge network serves as an efficient message relay and caching system for SendingNetwork, ensuring fast, secure, and private messaging. It is the backbone of the system, providing secure and rapid communication transmission.

Finally, the blockchain core acts as the central component of the system, responsible for handling registrations and incentivizing network participants. With unique consensus mechanisms such as proof of availability and proof of relay, it maintains the network's decentralization, resilience, and efficiency.

Users Own and Control Personal Data

SendingLabs raised $12.5 million in seed funding, intending to advance its ecosystem through SendingMe. SendingMe is an encrypted Web3 instant messaging platform that allows users to transfer tokens and NFTs directly within the chat screen.

SendingNetwork aims to make the future Web3 communication environment more secure, efficient, and user-oriented. Its roadmap includes implementing end-to-end encryption, developing innovative consensus mechanisms, and launching the mainnet.

Blockchain is expected to set new standards for security and reliability in digital communication. Through Web3 innovations, users can now reclaim control from centralized entities and manage how platforms and services handle their personal data.
