1. Introduction & Project Overview
Datagram is a Global hyper-fabric network designed to provide the foundational infrastructure for launching scalable, decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN) projects. Just as AWS abstracts infrastructure complexities for applications like Netflix, Datagram enables enterprises, developers, and service providers (e.g., agencies and freelancers) to deploy DePIN solutions without needing to manage a custom network. By Leveraging a fully distributed architecture, businesses can instantly scale and inherit blockchain’s advantages. (including cost efficiency, security, and automation) while ensuring a seamless Web2-like experience for end users. Datagram is designed to serve three equally important groups, each leveraging its infrastructure in different ways:
Existing DePIN Networks: Projects with existing node networks can integrate with Datagram via the Datagram Core Substrate DCS to enhance their compute, bandwidth, and storage capabilities. For example, projects focused on decentralized AI compute could leverage Datagram’s infrastructure to improve network efficiency through optimized workload. scaling their node operations could be done seamlessly.
Future DePIN Projects: New DePIN initiatives can deploy scalable node networks instantly, leveraging Datagram’s pre-built decentralized infrastructure. For example, a decentralized AI training network could utilize Datagram’s distributed compute resources to power large-scale machine learning models.
Web2 & Web3 Businesses: Traditional enterprises and Web3 projects can access decentralized networking, compute, and storage via API/SDK, without the need for blockchain expertise. For instance, a fintech company could integrate Datagram’s infrastructure to enhance real-time data processing and transaction security, while a Web3 gaming studio could leverage decentralized cloud computing to reduce server costs and improve performance for multiplayer experiences.
This has major implications, as Datagram provides the infrastructure backbone for trillion-dollar industries such as cloud computing, AI, telecommunications, and decentralized networking. By offering a scalable, cost-efficient, and decentralized alternative to traditional infrastructure, Datagram enables businesses to launch high-performance applications, optimize resource utilization, and integrate decentralized networking, eliminating the need for massive capital investment and years of infrastructure development.
Already having supported over 200 enterprises and 1 million users, Datagram can dynamically. allocate compute, bandwidth, and storage resources, ensuring that services remain scalable, cost-effective, and high-performance without the bottlenecks or centralization risks of traditional cloud infrastructure. Any project building with Datagram can benefit from extreme scalability, with an example being the ability to support video conference meetings for more than 10,000 participants.
On the front end, interacting with Datagram is as intuitive as using a traditional Web2 service, with all blockchain complexities abstracted away. On the backend, Datagram is a Layer 1 built as a Subnet on Avalanche but is blockchain-agnostic, meaning projects can deploy on a wide variety of EVM and non-EVM networks, such as Solana, Base, and Ethereum L2s, and still leverage the power of Datagram.
At the core of its backend infrastructure is the Hyper Network Layer, which dynamically optimizes traffic, congestion control, and scalability by coordinating compute, bandwidth, and storage resources across the ecosystem, ensuring peak efficiency and decentralization. While the Datagram Core Substrate DCS serves as the connectivity layer that enables DePIN projects to seamlessly integrate with Datagram.
Datagram’s specialized nodes, known as Datagram Cores, form the Fabric Network Layer, enabling seamless , low-latency data transmission and validation within the network.
Full Cores: Handle high-priority network traffic and contribute to security and stability.
Partner Cores: Provide additional computational support and assist with load balancing, traffic routing, and processing tasks.
To ensure continuous network reliability, the Datagram Network Operations Center NOC actively monitors nodes' uptime and performance, enabling automated reward distribution for node operators based on their availability and contributions. The NOC also enables networks operating Partner Cores to retrieve data regarding uptime or usage via API to facilitate distribution on the network of their choice.
By eliminating the complexity of decentralized infrastructure, Datagram makes it simple for businesses to integrate Web3 benefits into their existing operations while maintaining performance and user-friendliness. The key advantages include:
Instant Blockchain-Agnostic Deployment: Projects can leverage Datagram to support their DePIN. launches instantly across various EVM and non-EVM networks with pre-built DePIN infrastructure, inheriting decentralization’s benefits without managing complex backend logistics for uptime and usage tracking.
Seamless Web2-Like Experience: End users interact with applications just as they would with traditional Web2 services, with all blockchain complexities abstracted away. Businesses can also accept both fiat and crypto payments.
High Performance & Low Latency: The Hyper Network layer optimizes traffic routing, load balancing, and compute distribution, ensuring high performance across all applications.
Privacy & Security: Prevents risks associated with centralized data routing by ensuring decentralized, end-to-end encrypted communication. Provides end-to-end encryption and decentralized data sovereignty, eliminating risks associated with centralized data routing.
Cost Efficiency: Reduces operational expenses by up to 90% compared to centralized cloud-based models.
Datagram provides a universal infrastructure layer for DePIN projects via its Connectivity Layer, powered by the DCS. This makes it effortless for businesses and service providers to launch decentralized applications and services without the barriers traditionally associated with blockchain adoption.
For example, a cloud compute provider could deploy a decentralized AI compute network, allowing agencies and enterprises to leverage Datagram’s distributed compute resources for AI training and inference without needing to manage a node network themselves.
