dGateway: RPC/API/WS proxy

A secure and privacy-enhancing intermediary service that operates on top of the Exeos network, enabling developers and users to interact with blockchain nodes and external APIs without exposing sensitive network details.

Implementation

• Distributed Gateway Architecture: Utilize Exeos nodes to function as proxy gateways that receive, relay, and forward RPC/API requests, thereby decoupling client endpoints from the backend services.
• Secure Communication: Employ end-to-end encryption (e.g., TLS) and mutual authentication between clients, proxy nodes, and backend servers to protect data in transit.
• Load Balancing and Caching: Distribute incoming requests across multiple proxy nodes and leverage caching strategies to reduce latency, improve throughput, and optimize backend resource usage.
• Rate Limiting and Access Control: Integrate robust access controls and rate-limiting mechanisms to prevent abuse, ensure fair resource utilization, and safeguard backend infrastructure.
• Blockchain Integration for Incentivization: Use smart contracts to monitor, verify, and reward node performance based on successful relay and processing of RPC/API calls, ensuring an economically incentivized and reliable network.

Benefits

• Enhanced Privacy and Security: Shields user IP addresses and sensitive request data by routing traffic through a decentralized network, minimizing exposure to potential attackers.
• Improved Performance: Reduced latency and optimized response times are achieved through distributed caching and proximity-based routing of API requests.
• Resilience and Scalability: A decentralized proxy infrastructure maintains high availability and continuity of service, even under heavy load or targeted attacks, while scaling seamlessly as demand grows.
• Cost Efficiency: By distributing the workload across a global network of nodes, the system lowers operational costs and enables competitive, decentralized access to critical blockchain and API services.
