Architecture

EnReach builds the edge cloud infrastructure network based on this three-layer model:

Resource Layer (Resource)​

This is the foundation of EnReach, composed of massive, distributed, and permissionless hardware resources. These resources provide the bandwidth, storage, and computing power that form the basis of edge cloud.

In the Resource Layer, we focus on solving two fundamental issues.

  • Trust:

    how to ensure that the large-scale distributed nodes can verify each other and trust verification results.

  • Functionality:

    In a network with high node heterogeneity, we need to effectively virtualize and containerize these nodes and establish a P2P transmission network capable of penetrating gateways and local networks.

Open Layer (Ability)​

This is where EnReach takes action, serving as the entity focused on “orchestrate” network resources while optimizing the match between network resources and user demands.

At the base of this layer, we first need a trust mechanism to verify the workloads of nodes within the network. Building on this, we create a capability abstraction engine, known as EnReach Middleware.

The EnReach Middleware comprises three core components:

  1. EnReach introduces PeerHVM (Peer Heterogeneous Virtual Machine) to abstract P2P network resources, providing a standardized capability output. With the support of PeerHVM, the capabilities of the EnReach network can be “deployed” across dispersed nodes, forming a unified, interoperable structure.
  2. EnReach introduces PeerDTS, an enhanced large-scale P2P network transmission protocol, that enables massive content transfer within the capability layer abstracted by PeerHVM.
  3. EnReach introduces PeerRouting, a dynamic, pre-emptive response engine, that precisely matches resources to the constantly changing user demand.

Application Layer (Service)​

Based on the capability abstraction provided by the engine and its corresponding on-chain interfaces, we have built user interaction interfaces, service components, and application APIs for CDN services, cloud storage services, AI models, runtime transmission services, and compute routing services from third parties.

As outlined in the three-phase approach described earlier, this layer is open to the developer community in creating various applications, fulfilling the vision of Universal Acceleration.

Resource, Trust, and Service​

This Resource-Trust-Service model is a simple, clear abstraction that outlines how EnReach organizes edge hardware resources into an edge cloud network and highlights the core technologies involved.

The Resource layer focuses on virtualizing and standardizing the large-scale heterogeneous PeerNode resources to provide decentralized compute capabilities, and use GPoW(Guarantee Proof of Work) protocol to provide trusted verifiable work proofs.

The Trust layer utilizes the GPoS(Guarantee Proof of Stake) protocol to provide trusted on-chain work proof verification, settlement, and governance.

The Service layer utilizes the PeerHVM, PeerDTS, and PeerRouting middleware to provide services like CDN, AiDN, Routing, etc based on the trusted verifiable PeerNodes.

EnReach combines these capabilities to build a reliable AI acceleration network, leveraging industry-best practices to maximize performance and cost efficiency.
