Proof-of-Connection (PoC²)

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

PoC² establishes a trust-minimized framework where participation is measured through actual network activity rather than simulated computation or abstract resource claims.

Decentralized Validation Through Connectivity

Traditional telecom systems depend on centralized operators to authenticate users, monitor usage, and determine rewards.

FMIP replaces this legacy model with a cryptographic verification process in which each user device — or Depinsim Miner — functions as an autonomous network node capable of validating its own activity.

Each node generates cryptographic proofs across three measurable dimensions of network participation:

• Active Connectivity Time — duration of continuously verified online sessions

• Signal Integrity and Transmission Stability — reliability and quality of the connection

• Geographical Distribution — contribution to global coverage, redundancy, and network resilience

These proofs are periodically recorded on-chain, forming a transparent and tamper-resistant ledger of participation across the network.

Key Attributes of PoC²

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

• Energy Efficiency Unlike computation-intensive mining models, PoC² leverages existing device connectivity and consumes no additional energy beyond normal mobile usage.

• Scalability The protocol supports large-scale participation without introducing computational bottlenecks or network congestion.

• Incentive Integrity Rewards are allocated proportionally based on verified uptime, stability, and contribution quality, ensuring fairness and minimizing manipulation.

  Through PoC², ordinary mobile activity is transformed into a measurable, value-producing network contribution.

From Verification to Trustless Infrastructure

By combining cryptographic validation with real human-driven connectivity, PoC² bridges physical participation and digital consensus.

The mechanism removes the need for centralized monitoring while preserving integrity and reliability at scale.

PoC² is more than a validation process — it is the foundation of a trustless telecommunications layer, where transparency replaces authority, and every verified connection strengthens the sustainability of the global network.
