Network Protocols

  1. DevP2P Protocol Adaptation for GAYA

  • Purpose: The DevP2P protocol manages peer-to-peer communication, ensuring that data is transmitted securely and efficiently. Components:

  • RLPx: Handles encryption and multiplexing, ensuring secure, multi-channel data transfer.

  • GAYA Wire Protocol: A custom protocol specifically developed for handling blockchain-specific data exchange on the GAYA network.

  1. Kademlia DHT Adaptation for GAYA

  • Purpose: Kademlia DHT (Distributed Hash Table) enables decentralized node discovery, allowing nodes within the GAYA network to locate one another effectively. Mechanism:

  • Node Identification: Each node is uniquely identified within the DHT, making it easy to locate.

  • Routing: Nodes use XOR distance metrics to route queries and locate peers efficiently, facilitating streamlined connections across the network.
