Working beta network

Solana-enabled DePIN bandwidth marketplace

Pay-as-you-go private internet.

Quonion turns VPN from a monthly subscription into a usage-based decentralized network. Users buy private traffic with SOL, and VPS nodes earn for verified routing work.

Problem

VPN subscriptions are broken for casual users.

Most people do not need unlimited VPN every day. They need private access when it matters: public Wi-Fi, travel, blocked services, or sensitive browsing.

Traditional VPN

$4+ every month

Users pay for unlimited access even when they only need 20-40 GB of private traffic.

Quonion

Pay only for GB used

Traffic is bought once and spent only when the user connects.

Market gap

Private traffic, not another subscription

VPN demand is global, but the pricing model is still built around monthly lock-in.

Solution

VPN experience for users. DePIN marketplace under the hood.

A user sees a simple app: balance, connect button, traffic usage. The network handles route selection, access validation, Solana payments, and node accounting.

01 User tops up with SOL
02 App receives private traffic balance

Demo / traction

Not a concept. A working beta.

Quonion already has the core network, client flow, node deployment, Solana payment verification, and mobile product surface in place.

Network / security / economics

Private routing with verified usage.

No single node sees the full picture. Native receipts and signed heartbeats make traffic accounting harder to fake.

Client Guard Middle Exit Internet
  • Guard sees the client, not the destination.
  • Exit reaches the internet, not the original user.
  • Directory snapshots and node heartbeats are signed.
  • Exit mode is VPS-only and selected explicitly.
