Proof-of-Connection (PoC²)

At the core of the Free Mobile Internet Protocol (FMIP) lies the Proof-of-Connection (PoC²) mechanism — a decentralized validation framework that turns real connectivity into verifiable, on-chain proof of contribution.

Decentralized Validation Through Connectivity

Traditional telecom systems rely on centralized operators to authenticate users, measure usage, and allocate rewards. FMIP replaces this legacy model with a cryptographic verification process in which each user device — or Depinsim Miner — becomes a node that autonomously validates its own activity.

Each node generates a set of cryptographic proofs reflecting three measurable dimensions of network participation:

  1. Active Connectivity Time — duration of verified online sessions.

  2. Signal Integrity and Transmission Stability — reliability and quality of connection.

  3. Geographical Distribution — contribution to global network coverage and redundancy.

These proofs are periodically recorded on-chain, creating a transparent, tamper-proof record of every participant’s contribution to the network.

Key Attributes of PoC²

  • Fraud Resistance — Network participation is validated through multiple-layer verification, preventing traffic simulation, spoofing, or device emulation.

  • Energy Efficiency — Unlike computation-heavy mining models, PoC² relies on real device connectivity, consuming no additional power beyond normal mobile activity.

  • Scalability — The protocol supports millions of concurrent users without creating network congestion or computational bottlenecks.

  • Incentive Integrity — Rewards are distributed proportionally to verified uptime and signal quality, ensuring fairness and preventing manipulation.

In this system, every user becomes a verifiable contributor, turning ordinary mobile activity into a measurable, value-producing event.

From Verification to Trustless Infrastructure

By combining cryptographic validation with human-driven connectivity, PoC² bridges physical participation and digital consensus. It eliminates the need for centralized monitoring while preserving network integrity at scale.

This mechanism is more than a mining algorithm — it is the foundation of a trustless telecom layer, where transparency replaces authority, and where every verified connection reinforces the reliability and sustainability of the global network.
