The solution

Symbioses is a fully operational, turn-key solution for interoperable, low latency, and affordable Cloud Computing.

Symbioses delivers the benefits of forging spare computing capacity of millions of devices around the world. Symbioses does not require technical knowledge for its usage thus drastically expanding the potential user base. Symbioses instantly monetizes the idle computing resources of the devices you own and expands their profitability potential.

Symbioses seamlessly integrates the best aspects of traditional cloud services and non-interoperable decentralized networks. The synergy between these technologies will allow complementary benefits in ways their creators never thought possible.

These unique and advanced features improve the user experience on the network:

  • Blockchain Optimized features integrated to improve both outcome verification and provider profitability. (Third Party Arbitration / Usage Efficiency)

  • Diversity of the hardware the network can assimilate, thus expanding target producer audience. (GPU Support, Multi-Platform Support, and Multi-OS Support)

  • Frictionless User Experience to minimize barriers for enterprise adoption and non-technical user penetration. (Legacy Application Integration / Auction & Adaptive Pricing)

  • Exceptional Security & Encryption embedded for additional layers of protection to meet heightened consumer and corporate demands.

Security

Symbioses is fully encrypted providing both the producer and end-user full security through the SYMIO protocol. The SYMIO protocol does this by:

  • Encrypting both input and output data
  • Avoiding open extra ports
  • Using a multi-tenant system via hosting of third-party SaaS and data
  • Utilizing symmetric-key algorithms for encryption and verification.

All traffic within the Symbioses Network is secured using symmetric-key encryption. Even the same data transmitted by two different users in the network shows a complete different set of bits transmitted at the lower layers of the network.

The protocol

SYMIO is an off-chain, agnostic protocol. This makes it both considerably more scalable as well as interoperable with other decentralized technologies. The SYMIO Protocol provides the following features:

Scalability

Symbioses abstraction layer on top of the Ethereum blockchain allows the SYMIO off-chain protocol to asynchronously distribute computing jobs while the blockchain settles the transactions.

Inter-operability

In the case of the Symbioses Network being fully occupied with computing jobs, the extra / unallocated capacity can be offloaded to an external centralized or a decentralized cloud provider.

Speed & efficiency

SYMIO minimizes verification latency of existing blockchains, which permits direct interconnection to application programming interfaces (APIs). SYMIO aggregates block verification when presenting transactions back onto the Ethereum blockchain for improved efficiency and a dramatic reduction of the block verification expense to the end user.



Proof of Work Resources (PoWR)

The SYMIO protocol uses Proof of Work Resources (PoWR) to create an incentive for Producers to participate in a competition for hosting a SaaS instance and calculating its results correctly demonstrating their contribution to the network. This forms the basis of earning SYM tokens.

SYMIO is a dark-pool protocol, meaning that it is not biased towards who is rewarded for computing power. PoWR enables a useful blockchain framework that does not waste computing power on hash discovery, but rather shares these resources towards useful tasks required by the Consumers.

Developed Applications

Intuitive user applications for both the Producers and Consumers at any technical level.

The Producer Application incorporates potential profitability analysis allowing the user to input their electricity rate and setting their availability to the network (also available in a headless version for server implementation). Producers can potentially improve their profitability as SaaS deployment improves profitability by up to 10x versus crypto-mining alone.

Producer Application
Consumer Dashboard

The Consumer Dashboard displays the user’s token balance, the user’s history, and the available job functions. New jobs are launched via this application. The end user can tailor their search based on budget and requirements of facility type, connectivity, availability and producer reputation.

Symbioses substantially lowers the consumers’ cost of compute resources by up to 90% versus existing cloud-based solutions. The embedded job functions reduces adaptation and frictional costs incurred by consumers to implement solutions.
