How Does the DePIN Testnet Work?
Here’s an overview and sneak peak into the future of Decentralized CyberSecurity. Secure, Earn, & Innovate!
What is the Post-Quantum DePIN Testnet?
Naoris Protocol’s Post-Quantum DePIN Testnet marks the beginning of a revolutionary journey toward a decentralized cybersecurity future. It’s an opportunity for Web3 enthusiasts, developers, and security-conscious users to participate in a DePIN dedicated to cybersecurity & digital trust, designed to elevate security standards across all Web2 & Web3 infrastructure.
This phase introduces a testnet version of the Decentralized Proof of Security (dPoSec) blockchain, which is fully integrated with Post-Quantum cryptographic (PQC) capabilities.
This means Naoris Protocol’s native blockchain meets global Post-Quantum standards:
- NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) PQC (Post-Quantum Cryptography)
- NATO NCIA (NATO Communications and Information Agency),
- ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute),
Our custom built dPoSec blockchain delivers interoperable, military-grade post-quantum validations across all transactions. Featuring advanced technologies like Dilithium signatures and lattice-based encryption, it aims to future-proof any network and ecosystem against advanced quantum threats.
The Testnet allows participants to install the Naoris Wallet and operate a Browser Security Node on their devices. The goal?
To seed the foundation for the world’s first global Decentralized Post-Quantum Security Layer.
The Security Hive Mind
Naoris Protocol transforms every device into a security validator node that operates within a Decentralized Cybersecurity Mesh. Each node shares browser risk intelligence in real time, creating a “security hive mind”. When one browser node detects a threat, it updates and protects the entire network. As the network grows, everyone benefits from a collective defense, powered by shared knowledge and resilience.
Participants can actively engage in the mesh by installing the Testnet and transforming their everyday devices into secure validator nodes operating under the dPoSec consensus mechanism.
As a user, you will help protect everyone, and everyone will help protect you. This is a foundational principle of Naoris Protocol and why it’s a game changer for cybersecurity and digital trust. You will literally become part of a global super-computer of trust.
The Role of dPoSec & Decentralized SWARM AI.
At the heart of the Post-Quantum DePIN Testnet is Naoris Protocol’s novel and custom built dPoSec consensus mechanism — a blockchain innovation that validates devices as active security nodes. Unlike traditional models, Naoris Protocol eliminates single points of failure, by transforming all participating nodes from siloed and untrusted devices into an army of cyber-trusted validator nodes, ensuring scalability and resilience.
Decentralized SWARM AI: Secure Web Autonomous Resilience Mesh AI (SWARM AI) further enhances security by pooling insights from AI agents across the network. These agents collaboratively detect and respond to threats in real time, creating a robust and intelligent security mesh. Any undefined threats are immediately identified and defined, with the entire global mesh updated and equipped to defend against the new threat within milliseconds.
Browser Security Node Cutting-Edge Features:
- Ad Blocking: Enjoy a cleaner browsing experience by automatically blocking intrusive ads. Websites that distribute malware are blocked — as a user you are protected against them!
- Tracker Blocking: Safeguard your privacy by preventing hidden trackers from monitoring your online activity.
- HTTPS Ensured: Guarantee secure and encrypted connections for every site you visit.
- Safe Search Ensured: Blocks websites that distribute malware or exploit browser vulnerabilities.
- Whitelist/Blacklist URLs: Take full control by customizing site access to meet your preferences.
- Real-Time Validation: Continuously monitors the browser for threats and enhances network security.
Benefits of Participating in the Testnet
- Strengthen Your Security: Operate in a continuously validated environment for safer digital interactions.
- Earn As You Make The World A Safer Place: Accumulate rewards as points to be converted to $NAORIS tokens.
- Be Part of the Movement: Contribute to a global mission to decentralize cybersecurity and establish digital trust.
- Scalable Security: Each new node strengthens the ecosystem, reducing vulnerabilities and enhancing trust.
How does the Testnet Fits into the Microcosm of Naoris Protocol?
This Post-Quantum DePIN Testnet embodies a small but powerful piece of Naoris Protocol’s grand vision — a decentralized cybersecurity network that is continuously self-validating. By deploying the Browser Security Node Testnet, users become active participants in a decentralized ecosystem, contributing to a global security mesh that operates beyond traditional centralized control.
This microcosm of Naoris Protocol showcases its potential to decentralize cybersecurity by transforming every connected device into a proactive defender, eliminating single points of failure and enabling a future where every device enhances security and trust across Web2 and Web3 infrastructures.
What Happens When You Install the Node?
- Browser Enhancements: Expect features like enforced HTTPS and green ticks beside search results for safe pages. (Please see instructions for functions & features explained here)
- Security Reinforcements: Phishing, Malicious sites, ads and trackers are automatically blocked.
- Dashboard Access: Gain insights into your contributions and rewards.
- Can I add more than one Device to my Wallet?: Yes, you can add multiple devices to your wallet — please see the instructions here.
Why Choose Decentralized Over Centralized Cybersecurity?
Centralized systems are prone to single points of failure, long breach detection times and delayed updates. Naoris Protocol offers:
- Continuous Validation: Real-time updates with no central control bottlenecks.
- User Empowerment: Democratized security where every participant strengthens the system.
- Scalability: A network that grows stronger as more devices join.
