Digital Protocols
Protocols are basic sets of rules that allow data to be shared between computers. Communicating worldwide is possible due to fixed standards that govern the way information is communicated as well as the way our devices treat those data.
AI and Crypto
For cryptocurrencies protocols establish the structure of the blockchain — the distributed database that allows digital money to be securely exchanged on the internet.
DePIN Protocols
Notable protocols by industry and adoption. What standards for DePIN protocols exist?
- 375ai data at the edge (HUGE)
- Baxus Direct connection between supplier and consumer
- Helium provides decentralized wireless infrastructure.
See DePIN by industry analysis for potential use cases.
Traditional Networking
ECDSA the digital signature of a better internet
- Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
- Internet Protocol (IP)
- User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
- Post office Protocol (POP)
- Simple mail transport Protocol (SMTP)
- File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
- Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
- Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS)
HTTPS
Our computers, laptops, tablets, phones, connect quickly thanks to standardization of HTTP that enables information packets to move along networks between these entities.
Before HTTP, computers could only exchange information if they were on the same network. HTTP provides a means for devices to exchange information to or from anywhere in the world enabling online communities that can scale.
IoT
IoT networking protocols are a set of standards and rules that facilitate information exchange and Machine to Machine (M2M) communication. IoT network protocols overview and advantages.
Prediction
Crypto Wallets will become an essential gateway to online activity and be guarded by AI agents that prompt action and act on intentions.
