RELAY

Blockcast RELAY Node

Blockcast RELAY node is a compact server you plug into your home router and wall socket that improves streaming in your house and lets you participate in delivering content over the internet to earn weekly rewards.

• Action: Purchase specialized hardware from Blockcast, run from the network edge (eg. your apartment, garage, local coffee shops), serve your neighbors and earn weekly rewards.

• Hardware requirements? Why is this important?

  • Data is encrypted via HTTPS (TLS) served from the content origin to the CDN node sitting at the network edge. In the case of Relay nodes, E2EE (End-to-end encryption) ends there. Therefore, there is a need to ensure the edge cache (Relay) runs in a secure environment free from malware or man-in-the-middle attacks.

  • Only hardware that runs trusted boot, a process that ensures node that can not been tampered with can be used to serve content to other users.
