Abstract

Centralized proxy networks represent a multi-billion-dollar market plagued by structural inefficiencies: custodial counterparty risk, opaque billing, unverified bandwidth counters, malicious traffic interception, and single points of failure. This paper presents ProxyHubb, a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) protocol that transforms residential and datacenter internet connections into a permissionless, cryptographically verifiable proxy routing marketplace on Solana.

The 5-Layer DePIN Architecture

ProxyHubb is organized into five decoupled architectural planes:

[L5: Application Layer]   Next.js 14 (/depin, /whitepaper) • Chrome MV3 • Node / Python / Go SDKs
        │
[L4: Data Plane]          Direct P2P WebRTC (~14ms) • Staked Gateways (3128/8090) (~28ms)
        │
[L3: ZK Rollup]           BN254 Groth16 Batch Prover • Merkle State-Channel Aggregation
        │
[L2: State Channels]      Bilateral Ed25519 Micro-Receipts • Sub-100μs Counter-Signing
        │
[L1: Settlement]          Solana Anchor Core • Non-Custodial Escrows • PoBW Mining Pool

Solana Anchor Core & PDA Matrix

The on-chain smart contract is deployed at AZGhGfvsiGJQ5S91nkdhGi9qvSNKv3sBZyVJ63KQLfvu and uses deterministic Program Derived Addresses (PDAs):

Bilateral State Channels & Proof of Bandwidth (PoBW)

Instead of trusting centralized oracle counters, ProxyHubb implements Bilateral State Channels.

Canonical Micro-Receipt Format

Every micro-receipt follows a strict ASCII layout:

receipt:v1:[escrow_pda]:[buyer_pubkey]:[seller_pubkey]:[bytes_used]:[sequence_num]

On-Chain Introspection Verification

Settlement via settle_escrow_mutual_receipt requires two preceding Ed25519SigVerify111111111111111111111111111 precompile instructions:

let current_index = load_current_index_checked(&ctx.accounts.instructions)?;
require!(current_index >= 2, EscrowError::MissingSignatureVerification);

Mathematical Balance Conservation Theorem

Let A be escrow lamports, L be total contracted bytes, U be verified bytes used, and C = min(U, L):

seller_payout = floor( (A * C) / L )
buyer_refund  = A - seller_payout
 
Theorem 1 (Zero-Leak Balance Conservation):
For all A, L, U in N -> seller_payout + buyer_refund == A

Groth16 BN254 Zero-Knowledge Batch Rollups

For high-throughput enterprise scraping batches, micro-sessions are rolled into a Merkle root and verified on-chain via a succinct BN254 Groth16 zk-SNARK proof. The 32-byte digest is reduced modulo the scalar field modulus r:

r = 0x30644e72e131a029b85045b68181585d2833e84879b9709143e1f593f0000001
public_input = SHA256(root || count || total_bytes || start || end || leaves_hash) mod r

Staked Gateway Operator Network & Slashing

• Permissionless Bonding: Operators stake at least 1.0 SOL via register_gateway.
• Signed Manifests: Gateways sign canonical manifests with host endpoints, regions, and stake.
• Automated Slashing: Gateways that drop packets or modify streams are slashed via slash_gateway, routing penalties to the protocol treasury and deactivating under-collateralized nodes.

Tokenomics & Proof-of-Bandwidth Mining

Residential providers earn algorithmic emissions from the EpochRewardPool PDA:

Reward_i = floor( (B_i * E_k) / sum(B_j) )
Theorem 2 (Epoch Solvency Guarantee): sum(Reward_i) <= E_k

Total claimed rewards never exceed total epoch emission E_k.

Formal Threat Model & Adversarial Verification

Evaluated over 25,000+ continuous randomized adversarial fuzz iterations (testing/fuzz_adversarial_suite.ts):

• Zero-Leak Math Fuzzing: 25,000/25,000 iterations maintained exact lamport conservation.
• Signature Forgery Injections: 1,000/1,000 tampered signature injections rejected.
• Concurrent Claim Solvency: 1,000 multi-provider epoch simulations verified with 0 overdraw.
