Hello Satslink community,
Satslink aims to:
- Enhance Web3 User Privacy: Replace centralized VPNs and address the data leakage and auditing risks inherent in traditional VPNs.
- Ensure Data Security: Prevent user data from being hijacked, monitored, and analyzed by centralized entities.
- Build a Secure Network Environment:Utilize SAMA Network’s consensus and business sharding technology to enhance network security and privacy.
- Simplify Web3 Payments: Based on MSQ, enable direct purchase of ICP and ICRC-1 and payment of VPN service fees.
Satslink is built upon the following core technologies:
- Sama Network: Provides underlying full-stack data encryption communication capabilities to ensure data transmission security.
- MSQ (Message Stream Queue): Used for user identity integration and payment systems, enabling user authorization and on-chain transactions.
- Internet Computer (ICP): Serves as the underlying blockchain platform, providing decentralized infrastructure.
- ICRC-1: Used for cryptocurrency payments and transactions.
- VPN Android (Client): Provides a user-friendly mobile application.
We’d like to share an update on the development progress of Satslink, focusing on two key aspects: payment integration and the status of Satslink token issuance.
As many of you know, we had previously integrated the code for issuing the Satslink token directly into our core codebase. However, after careful consideration, we made the strategic decision to pause the token issuance at this time.
Our reasoning behind this is simple: user accumulation. We believe it is crucial to first build a solid foundation of early adopters and active users for Satslink before proceeding with token distribution. Focusing on user growth will ensure a more robust and engaged community for the long-term success of the Satslink ecosystem.
On a more positive note, we are excited to announce that payment functionality has now been successfully integrated! Satslink VPN is now ready to accept payments using ICP ecosystem tokens.
This marks a significant step forward, allowing users to directly utilize the ICP ecosystem to access and pay for Satslink VPN services. Looking ahead, our commitment is to expand payment options further. We plan to progressively incorporate compatibility with ICRC standard tokens, making Satslink even more accessible and user-friendly within the broader Internet Computer ecosystem.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to develop and refine Satslink. We are dedicated to building a privacy-focused and user-centric Web3 communication application.
