The documentation covers the launch of Testnet Alpha-2, the sale of WatchDog Nodes, and the concept of Edge Nodes utilizing idle household bandwidth. It does not provide detailed hardware specifications, software requirements, or exact reward rates for running nodes, other than mentioning a 500,000 SXP testnet pool and a 12% allocation of the total $SEND supply for WatchDog Nodes.

How this score was reached
Solid, with some gaps. This measures how well the network can be assessed and participated in: documentation, verification, cost of entry, maturity and operator risk. It is not a prediction of returns, and it reads nothing from token price.

What it does
SendingNetwork is building a decentralized communication stack designed to address the centralization issues of the traditional TCP/IP model. By leveraging wallet addresses for direct peer-to-peer communication, it enables secure, end-to-end encrypted data transmission without central data retention. The network utilizes two primary node types: Edge Nodes, which maximize idle household bandwidth, and WatchDog Nodes, which secure and verify the network's operations.
How it works
The network operates by encouraging smaller, distributed computers to work together to relay messages and secure communication. It utilizes a Proof of Relay consensus mechanism alongside WatchDog Nodes to verify transactions and data transmission, ensuring privacy and zero data retention.
How to participate
Users can participate by purchasing and running a WatchDog Node (sold in tiers from $500 to $2,311) or by running an Edge Node to share idle household bandwidth during testnet phases.
Pros and cons
Strengths
- End-to-end encrypted communication with zero data retention.
- Allows users to monetize idle household bandwidth.
- Secured by a decentralized consensus mechanism (Proof of Relay) and WatchDog Nodes.
Drawbacks
- WatchDog Nodes require a paid purchase with tiered pricing up to $2,311.
- Detailed hardware and software requirements for running Edge Nodes are not fully specified in the provided text.
Risks
Requires upfront capital to purchase WatchDog Nodes, and the project is currently in its testnet phase.
