Syntropy, the company related to the Web3 connectivity, has recently announced that its patent related to the Decentralized Autonomous Routing Protocol (DARP) has been awarded. The DARP is a protocol that enables a group of decentralized network-connected devices to determine the optimal path data will take across networks, by forwarding data through an intermediary. This enables latency sensitive applications to perform better for end users. This patent will be officially issued on March 8, 2022.

This patent is a key part of Syntropy’s patent strategy to protect its blockchain to create an enhanced data routing protocol for Web3 and it paves the way for other related Syntropy patent applications to be approved.

Bill Norton, one of the co-inventors and co-founders of Syntropy shares, “DARP has identified better network paths in up to 70% of all paths we studied. The more heterogeneous the underlying internet, the more optimizations we find. When we run DARP over the public internet we find tons of better network paths that our users can leverage. This patent and the ones to follow secures this innovation for our community and its future growth.”

Jonas Simanavicius, also a co-founder and co-inventor at Syntropy adds, “Everyday thousands of enterprises struggle to secure their networks. It is a real headache, requires vigilance, expertise, and the stakes are very high. Our blockchain-based technology automatically secures, optimizes, and manages enterprise overlay networks using a simple point-and-click application. Our patent portfolio strategy protects the Syntropy stack and underlying technologies as well as prepares us to decentralize internet routing space in the blockchain era.”
