Round 1 of our competition on @Apex_SN1 has a winner! Entrants were scored on p95 request time, which tracks the slow end, basically the long waits that make a connection feel stuck In testing, the winning code cut that from 19.6 to 7.1 seconds, a 63% drop. Larger downloads also ran about twice as fast The winning code is now the starting point for round 2 Thanks to everyone who contributed so we can bring these gains to everyone using UR

Great thread from Lithos on encryption and the trail of data left behind in your online footprint Appreciate you taking the time to dig into what we're building with UR We don't solve everything but believe we can make everyday privacy more accessible Privacy for everyone

Quoting @Lithos_eth

you can encrypt almost everything you do online and still leave a trail of where you've been your messages might be private your passwords might be protected but your internet connection can still reveal information about your browsing activity this is a part of digital privacy we don't talk about enough let's get into it

Where you go online says a lot about you, and a VPN doesn't solve this Here's the TLDR in two minutes, for everyone who bookmarked our article and never went back to it Full read is below for all the details

Quoting @urnetwork

One of the most common myths about VPNs is that they guarantee privacy In reality, it just moves the view from your ISP to the VPN company, and you have to trust them not to log your data On UR, privacy is in the design and the code is open source x.com/i/article/2113598831505842176

UR (SN25) has launched an open competition on @Apex_SN1, going live in a few hours (00:00 UTC) The competition opens UR's routing and provider-matching algorithms to anyone who wants to compete for SN1 alpha These algorithms decide how fast and reliable the network is for the 350k people using it each month How it works: 1. Six rounds, one week each 2. Submissions are scored against a branch of the UR code 3. The winning submission becomes the next baseline Improvements that pass the benchmark will be adopted into the production protocol Good luck!

39 experiments in two months, all with one goal: the best encryption and the best speed, for everyday use Privacy often comes with a cost to speed. We're always running research on our code to improve and make that tradeoff disappear Ideally you don't even have to think about it Our new report collects the last couple of months of that research, with every experiment on a timeline showing what it measured and whether we kept it. Even failed tests are valuable to learn from A few that stood out: - in our phone tests, a Wikipedia page went from 2.5-4 seconds to about half a second - a local test link hit gigabit-class speeds after we changed how much data is kept in flight - a tighter memory limit actually hurt speeds by about a third, so we killed that change Full report below

UR is partnering with @Persistent_AI. Through its product @P_Inference, Persistent AI is joining UR as our newest Network Operator. Every AI request exposes three things about the person sending it: 1. Their identity 2. What they asked 3. Where they are connecting from Private Inference has been building private AI that solves the first two. It gives people access to leading models such as GPT and Claude without storing their chats, and lets them pay privately. UR solves the third. As a Network Operator, Persistent AI will route Private Inference's traffic over UR, where it is encrypted and sent out through connections shared by people globally, keeping users' IP addresses private. Network Operators are where demand for SN25 alpha comes from. They pay for the traffic they use in alpha, so every new operator brings new demand to the subnet. Both teams are passionate about AI and privacy, and the network is the first thing we are working on together. Keep the internet private

"If you cannot grow [and make money], then you die... and so you should" We hold UR to that standard Over the years, privacy has been taken from all of us, piece by piece - your searches, your location, the sites you visit, all bought and sold Our mission is to give it back to people Great technology at scale changes lives, so we are building for billions

Great piece from Shayon TL;DR: - training data is a one-off purchase per model run - agents search the web every time they act, so retrieval is the far bigger market - a lot of that traffic gets through more reliably on residential connections That's the network we've been building for the last 3 years. We have over 100k providers, giving us a diverse range of residential IPs around the world, and each one makes the network stronger Agents can already use it too, with the same benefits people get, and our MCP server makes it easy to plug in Usually, what an agent reads can be traced back to whoever is running it. On UR, that traffic is encrypted across the network, and sites see a provider's connection, not who's behind the request Privacy for humans and agents alike

Most startups don't make it to the 5 year mark We have already been around for 3 years and are focused on building something that's useful for every day users, while being sustainable "We've already gotten to a million networks... let's get to 10 million in the next year" Our mission is to build a success story around privacy encryption infrastructure that works
