Border Protocol is a decentralized mesh network with a Proof-of-Bandwidth blockchain — rewarding nodes for routing traffic the internet can't stop.
Every layer of Border is designed to resist shutdown, surveillance, and control.
Traffic routes through a self-healing mesh — no central servers to block or seize. Nodes discover each other automatically.
Nodes earn BC tokens by proving they relayed real traffic. The chain verifies bandwidth proofs cryptographically.
All relay traffic is obfuscated using ChaCha20 + HKDF so deep packet inspection can't fingerprint Border traffic.
Files are chunked, encrypted, and distributed across storage nodes. Cryptographic proofs verify data is still held.
Rent GPU compute from nodes in the mesh. Jobs are matched, executed, and settled on-chain — no middleman.
Self-sovereign DIDs with verifiable claims and an on-chain reputation engine — no email, no phone number required.
The Border testnet is live. Get tokens from the faucet and start exploring.
Run a node, relay traffic, earn tokens.
Spin up a node with Docker. It connects to bootstrap peers and joins the mesh automatically.
Your node relays obfuscated traffic through the mesh. Each hop is logged as a bandwidth proof.
Bandwidth proofs are bundled into transactions and mined into blocks by the PoB consensus layer.
Verified proofs earn BC rewards. Tokens can be used to pay for storage, compute, and DNS on the network.
Every line of Border is public. Read the code, run a node, contribute.
