Social networks refer to the networked relationships between individuals, externalized on the Internet into various social networking software. These applications can be classified into communication tools and social platforms based on their functional attributes. Among them, there is one type of product that is indispensable and irreplaceable, with its stickiness not derived from the product itself, but from the users' social relationships—that is, instant messaging software. While different star products may emerge in different periods, over time, many products gradually decline. Instant messaging software, however, only changes its form of expression but never shows signs of decline. Social products are the cornerstone of modern human communication, especially in the digital age, where they have become essential for our daily lives, work, and social interactions. However, with the continuous development of the Internet, we find that many social products fail to provide sufficient security protection. Various data collection and authorizations expose our private information to serious risks of leakage. Although there are many social products on the market claiming to protect user privacy, they often cannot provide genuine confidential protection, requiring us to remain cautious when using these software applications.
From a business perspective, internet-based social interactions still carry an "original sin." People have been using internet social products for free, but we have found that the cost of this free usage is the sale of personal information as a commodity by platforms. This is because the main profit model of internet social media is to analyze user behavior data and provide precise advertising for advertisers.
The technological development of Web3.0 has provided fertile soil for Gather's confidential social product. Gather is a social product based on blockchain and patented hardware technology, and it is currently the only solution in the world that can achieve truly confidential social interactions. As experts in confidential communication, Gather allows us to communicate online with greater peace of mind.
The key features of Gather lie in its security and reliability, providing users with practical social scenarios and confidential experiences. Firstly, Gather adopts blockchain technology to ensure the immutability and traceability of information. This means that no one can alter information that has already been sent or received, while also ensuring the authenticity and integrity of the information. Secondly, Gather utilizes hardware technology and principles of encryption to ensure that chat content is not intercepted or monitored during transmission. This technology encrypts chat content into ciphertext, which can only be decrypted by the receiving party using a key after the message is received. This encryption method is one of the most advanced encryption methods available, effectively preventing chat content from being decrypted or leaked.
In addition to its security and reliability, Gather boasts other excellent features. It can understand natural language and generate corresponding responses based on AI components. These responses are clear, logically sound, and precise in reasoning, making communication smoother and more natural for users when using Gather. Furthermore, Gather supports multiple languages and input methods, allowing users to communicate in their preferred language regardless of their location.
Gather is a powerful and secure social product. Its existence provides us with a safer and more convenient means of communication. Whether in work, study, or daily life, we can use Gather to protect our privacy and enjoy a more reassuring communication experience.
1）Platform Companies' Autocratic Control Over Users
Traditional social products exhibit numerous drawbacks, such as the inability to guarantee the security and privacy of user data, and the ease with which chat records and other data can be accessed by platform companies for commercial purposes. In contrast, emerging social product platforms place greater emphasis on the security and privacy protection of user data, and offer more diverse functionalities and services, such as voice recognition and intelligent customer service, to provide users with a more convenient and efficient user experience.
However, these platform companies also face some issues, such as having autocratic control over user data management. Users cannot freely control their data, and platforms can freeze, mute, or even delete users at any time. Therefore, when choosing social products, users should carefully compare the data management and usage policies of different platform companies to select services that are more secure and personalized. However, aside from the aforementioned human management mechanisms, we hope for data security management without human intervention, as wherever there are people, there are social dynamics, and wherever there are social dynamics, there are worldly affairs.
2）Platform's Traffic Value Belongs Solely to the Platform
In the traditional Web 2.0 internet platform, all traffic value belongs to the platform itself, leading to centralized monopolies. However, in the era of Web3.0, with the rise of the value internet, the value will be returned to users. The underlying philosophy of this shift is decentralization, giving users more control and ownership over their data and traffic.
The Web 3.0 era emphasizes more decentralized governance models and user participation, with returning traffic value to users being an important aspect. However, traffic itself is still generated by the platform, and users mainly possess their data and rights on the platform. Gather adheres to the spirit of Web 3.0, setting all token consumption scenarios as staking or destruction modes. The Gather platform does not directly profit from traffic, and all traffic value belongs to token holders.
1) High Initial Equipment Procurement Costs
Traditional internet companies face significant expenses in server equipment and data center investments. As data and user volume grow, they need to continuously upgrade or replace equipment, which becomes a significant burden.
The instant messaging software market also faces similar issues. To provide instant messaging services, internet companies need to invest heavily in building and maintaining servers to meet users' demands for real-time communication. Additionally, they must address the growing demands for user data and information transmission, leading to significant hardware upgrade expenses.
These issues may make it difficult for some small or emerging internet companies to enter the instant messaging software market because they lack the resources to bear these high equipment procurement and data center investment costs. This may lead to further concentration of market power among a few dominant companies, as only large companies have the resources and capital to address these challenges.
However, with technological advancements, new solutions have emerged to address these issues. For example, the emergence of cloud computing and virtualization technologies, Web3 nodes, and DePIN concepts allow small and emerging companies to reduce equipment procurement and data center investment costs. Additionally, there are open-source software and tools available to help developers better manage and optimize server resources and application performance. While equipment procurement and data center investment are significant expenses for internet companies, we see new solutions emerging with technological advancements, helping small and emerging companies enter the market more effectively and promoting competition and development in the market.
Meanwhile, Gather aims to obtain powerful hardware platform computing and storage resources at the lowest cost possible. Gather pioneered the use of Web3 DePIN technology concepts, distributing users' hardware devices, and forming a complete decentralized network hardware infrastructure through software and hardware technologies.
Additionally, Gather serves as a distributed computing center, leveraging its robust DePIN system to provide long-term computational resources for various fields such as AI model training, machine learning, and cloud rendering.
2) High Technical Operations Team Labor Costs
Traditional instant messaging platforms require a large number of technical personnel for maintenance and management, resulting in high operational costs and significant economic pressure on Internet companies. Especially during industry downturns, these platforms often have to undergo large-scale layoffs to reduce costs. However, for social product platforms with weak profitability themselves, high labor costs are an additional burden. In contrast, Gather adopts decentralized technology, integrating software and hardware, significantly reducing reliance on a large number of operations and maintenance personnel. Through a development model that emphasizes heavy public chain and light application end, Gather has successfully reduced development and code maintenance costs. These advantages make Gather more competitive in the social product industry, while also providing internet companies with a new, more efficient operating model.
3) High IDC Network Bandwidth and Electricity Costs
In the process of using social products, because users often send images, voice, video, and other file resources, network resources are rapidly consumed, resulting in high network bandwidth costs. Additionally, during conversations and group chats, users often maintain long connections with the server to receive fast information push and response, which consumes a large amount of network connection resources, necessitating the deployment of more servers to provide services. The deployment of more X86 architecture servers also means more electricity expenses.
Gather's social product innovatively addresses the long-standing issue of high network bandwidth and electricity costs. Leveraging the Web3 node miner model, we successfully utilize miners' computing power to provide stable and efficient operation guarantees for the platform. At the same time, through a token reward mechanism, we feedback traffic value to all miners, incentivizing them to provide a continuous stream of computing power to the platform.
To further optimize cost structures and reduce carbon emissions, Gather has innovated in hardware research and design. We have adopted the latest ARM low-power platform, successfully controlling single-device power consumption to within 30 watts. This innovation not only reduces platform operating costs but also significantly improves device stability and reliability, providing strong support for the platform's long-term stable development.
These innovative measures by Gather not only demonstrate our leading position in technological innovation and sustainable development but also underscore our firm commitment to environmental responsibility. Through our efforts, Gather's social product sets a new benchmark for the social product industry and provides new ideas and directions for future development. We believe that in the future, Gather will continue to lead the industry's development and bring everyone a better communication experience.
1) Unlimited Exposure of Data, Lack of Privacy
Traditional social products transmit data based on point-to-point communication, where conversations and file transfers between users are routed through servers. While this method facilitates real-time information delivery, it also presents challenges in data security and privacy protection.
On one hand, as essential tools for daily communication, traditional social products often store sensitive data such as personal information and files on servers. This data is susceptible to theft by hackers or misuse by government agencies, posing threats to user privacy and security.
On the other hand, traditional social products often establish long connections between servers and clients to achieve real-time information delivery, which, while improving efficiency, also increases the risk of hacker attacks. Hackers can exploit server vulnerabilities or impersonate servers to steal or tamper with user information.
To address these issues, Gather's social product employs decentralized technology and encryption algorithms to ensure the security and privacy of user data. Specific measures include:
Firstly, Gather's social product uses end-to-end encryption to ensure that conversations and file transfers between users are encrypted. Even if hackers intercept communication data between users, they cannot decrypt its contents, thus protecting user data privacy.
Secondly, Gather's social product employs a decentralized network architecture, dispersing the role of servers across various nodes. Communication between users can occur directly between nodes without centralized server intermediaries. This not only improves information transmission efficiency but also reduces the risk of hacker attacks.
Lastly, Gather's social product utilizes blockchain technology to store user identity information and communication records on the chain. This storage method ensures immutability and transparency, effectively preventing data tampering and forgery by hackers. Additionally, the decentralized nature of blockchain technology prevents misuse of user data by government agencies.
Through these measures, Gather's social product actively explores and practices user privacy and security protection. We believe that as technology continues to advance and become more widespread, privacy protection and data security will become basic responsibilities and essential capabilities for all Internet companies.
2）Human Factors Leading to Personal or Business Secrets Leakage
In addition to technical issues regarding data security and privacy protection, human factors may also lead to the leakage of personal or business secrets. In traditional social products, platforms have the opportunity to access users' sensitive data due to actions such as user information filling and profile picture uploading. If there are management loopholes or lack of security awareness among internal personnel, user data leakage is likely to occur.
To address data leakage caused by human factors, Gather's social product implements the following measures:
Minimization of data collection and storage. Throughout the design and development process, Gather's social product minimizes the collection and storage of sensitive user data as much as possible. For example, we adopt local encryption storage to store user chat records and files locally, avoiding uploading them to servers. Additionally, all outgoing data are encrypted packets. Furthermore, we only collect users' basic information when necessary and store it in encrypted form to prevent exploitation by malicious attackers. In terms of design philosophy, Gather adopts a concept of no technical operations, ensuring that hardware devices and software can operate well even without human intervention.
Through these measures, Gather's social product effectively reduces the risk of data leakage caused by human factors. We always prioritize user data security and privacy protection, continuously optimizing and enhancing the security performance of social products to provide users with a safer and more reliable communication experience.
1) Excessive Regulation of Data Leads to Loss of Social Network Assets
Due to the immaturity of traditional centralized automated regulation, many chat groups may experience false positives, resulting in the closure of communities that have been painstakingly organized, leading to a significant loss of social network assets. To address this issue, Gather maximizes the management authority of groups by returning it to users, allowing group owners and DAO organizations to handle community complaints and regulations.
2）Technical Regulations Limit Functionality Experience, Traditional Groups vs. Gather Groups
Traditional social software groups are limited to chat functions and cannot effectively manage members or interact with ecosystem applications.
Gather Groups with Ten Thousand Members: Managing a group with ten thousand members is not an easy task. It requires controlling the group atmosphere to maintain positive energy while ensuring accurate information dissemination and avoiding message clutter and repetition, which can degrade the quality of group discussions. In Gather's ten thousand-member group module, group owners have absolute control, including:
To prevent unauthorized additions, settings can prohibit mutual friend requests. To maintain a civilized and harmonious atmosphere and prevent negative or offensive comments, settings can enable muting or forcibly deleting messages from specific members, or banning members from applying to join the group after being removed. For efficient scheduling of events or online meetings, settings can enforce group-wide muting for one hour, allowing only administrators to send messages.
For consensus management among DAO organization members, groups can use project token voting resolutions, where the majority decides. Members participating in a project are automatically added to the project's group to ensure they do not miss important information. Project-related information is pinned in the group, including presentations, videos, and project progress updates, eliminating the need to repeatedly send project introductions to new members.
Members who want to access a project DApp can do so directly from the group message header. These and other convenient features significantly improve the scientific management of large groups and enhance the cohesion and stickiness between group members and projects.
Traditional business groups may lead to clients bypassing intermediaries and directly contacting business representatives, leading to potential loss of client resources for enterprises.
Gather's group owners, as the leaders of social relationships, can establish business groups that hide all member information, including GID, wallet accounts, user nicknames, and profile photos. They can assign temporary identities and titles to members and prohibit mutual friend requests, protecting their client resources. All business-related communication occurs within the group, with the group owner holding a dominant position in these relationships.
Many intermediary companies, insurance companies, and financial companies experience instances where clients are taken by representatives for private deals, leading to the potential loss of client resources when representatives leave. Using Gather's business groups, enterprises can arrange work tasks, ensuring all work-related communication occurs within the group, thus avoiding disputes arising from private communications and non-compliance with rules, significantly protecting client privacy and enterprise client resources.
Managing multiple groups has always been a challenge for group owners, consuming time and leading to information transmission gaps. Using forwarding bots may increase costs and fail to control the harm caused by group spammers.
Gather's Community Group Module enables the scientific management of nested groups.
Suppose you're a prominent figure with 100 WeChat groups. Managing all these groups is difficult, time-consuming, and costly, and dealing with spam and advertisements within them is challenging. In Gather's community groups, all groups brought in by an administrator are managed uniformly, saving time and effort, and facilitating scientific control. For instance, when an administrator posts a message in the community group, it is synchronized across all groups, ensuring consistent and efficient message delivery. If an administrator identifies a troublemaker, they can delete the user once in the community group, and the action is synchronized across all groups. This approach offers a great user experience for educational institutions, business meetings, online learning, and information sharing.
Establishing and controlling large software groups typically relies on human audits.
Gather's management of large groups relies solely on mechanisms. As it is known, the greatest value of blockchain lies in consensus, and the consensus of large token holders is highly valuable. Managing token holders has always been complex and challenging, with those involved often in awkward positions and oversight difficult. With Gather's large group management, mechanisms replace human reliance, and rules for large groups are set through contracts. For example, a group for token holders with over ten thousand tokens automatically adds wallets with over 10,000 GAT tokens. If a wallet transfers out 10 GAT tokens and the balance no longer meets the criteria, it is automatically removed from the group. This system solves the problem of customer classification management, where any coin on the same underlying public chain can be classified based on asset holdings, with mechanisms superseding human judgment, making it more scientific.
Gather's vision is to become the world's safest social product, providing users with an efficient, secure, and intelligent communication environment through innovative technology and exceptional user experience. We will continuously explore and research new technologies to meet user needs and drive the continuous development of the social product industry.
We believe that through our efforts and the support of users, Gather will become a trusted instant messaging software, creating more value. At the same time, we will actively fulfill our social responsibility, protect user data security and privacy, and provide users with a safer and more reliable service.
In future development, we will continue to focus on changes and trends in the social product market, actively respond to various challenges and opportunities, and center on users to continuously innovate and optimize products and services, providing users with a higher quality, more efficient, and safer communication experience. Additionally, we will strengthen cooperation with partners and ecosystems to jointly promote the prosperity and development of the social product industry.
The future social product market will be more competitive, and traditional social product models will no longer meet the demands of users for personalization, security, and efficiency. Therefore, future social products will evolve towards greater intelligence, security, and decentralization.
Firstly, intelligence will become an important development direction for social products. By applying artificial intelligence technology, social products can better understand user language and behavior, providing users with more intelligent services and recommendations. Additionally, social products can analyze user data intelligently to improve user experience and efficiency.
Secondly, security will be a prerequisite for social products. With the frequent occurrence of hacker attacks and data breaches, users' demands for the security of social products are increasing. Future social products will adopt more advanced encryption technology and data protection measures to ensure the security and privacy of user data.
Finally, decentralization will be an important development trend for social software. By using decentralized network architectures and blockchain technology, social products can better protect user privacy and data security, while also improving the efficiency and transparency of information transmission. Focusing on using blockchain technology to create application scenarios and enhance user experience will bring Gather more natural traffic and support future updates and iterations of the software with more ecological application scenarios.
The ecological development strategy centered on social products has received unanimous recognition from enterprises and governments worldwide. Therefore, Gather's future development will not be limited to social products themselves, and the ecological and commercial boundaries it can influence will also become important drivers of Gather's development.
In an environment where user privacy and information communication are absolutely secure, we cannot imagine how many rich and necessary business scenarios will further expand based on the Gather network and Gather social products.
In summary, the future social product market will be full of opportunities and challenges. As an innovative social product, Gather will continue to lead industry development and provide users with more intelligent, secure, and efficient communication experiences.

2.1.2 Software
GProto Communication Protocol: A custom communication protocol utilized by Gather's social products, built on top of the TCP protocol. It incorporates encryption technology to ensure data transmission security and features efficient data transfer and error correction capabilities.
2.2.1 End-to-End Data Encryption (E2EE):
The encrypted data in the Gather network can only be viewed by individuals possessing decryption keys. In other words, E2EE prevents unintended users, including third parties, from reading or modifying data, ensuring that only intended readers have access and capability. Additionally, Gather employs end-to-end encryption technology to ensure the privacy of chat content. In password management and Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA), users function as both encryptors and decryptors.
In many messaging services, third parties store data encrypted only during transmission. This server-side encryption method protects data from unauthorized viewers. However, it allows the sender to view the information, which is not suitable for transmissions where data privacy needs protection throughout the entire process.
E2EE is particularly suitable when users are most concerned about privacy. Privacy includes sensitive topics such as business documents, financial information, legal proceedings, medical conditions, or private conversations. Therefore, failure to protect private data could harm business operations and customer interests.
End-to-end encryption helps protect data from network attacks. For example, in 2020, the average global cost of data breaches was $3.86 million, rising to $8.64 million in the United States. These costs include expenses related to discovering and responding to breaches, downtime, revenue losses, and long-term damage to the company and its brand reputation. If Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is compromised, it can lead to loss of customer trust, regulatory fines, or even legal action.
End-to-end encryption not only provides encrypted message transmission but also enables control over authorized user access to stored data. Centralized privileged user policy management systems offer granular control over who can access what information. Combined with centralized key management systems compliant with the Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP), enterprises can encrypt and protect data at various levels.
2.2.2 Access Control:
Different gateway access control policies are set according to the roles and permissions of Gather nodes.
Access control refers to how a system restricts the capabilities of users and their predefined policy groups to use data resources. It is typically used by system administrators to control user access to network resources such as servers, directories, and files. Access control is a critical foundation for system confidentiality, integrity, availability, and lawful use. It is one of the key strategies for network security and resource protection and is based on granting different authorized access to subjects based on certain control policies or permissions.
Gather's access control comprises three elements: subject, object, and access control policy.
Subject (S): Refers to the entity requesting specific access to a resource. It initiates an action, but may not necessarily execute it. It could be a user, process, service, or device.
Object (O): Denotes the entity being accessed. It can include all information, resources, or objects that can be operated on. Objects can be collections of information, files, records, hardware facilities on a network, or even another object.
Access Control Policy (A): Collection of rules or attributes that define the access rules for subjects to objects. Access policies reflect an authorization behavior and are the defaults for object access by subjects.
2.2.3 Security Audit:
Regular security audits and vulnerability scans are conducted on Gather system gateways and nodes to identify potential security risks and promptly address them.
A security audit is a tool mainly used for tracking and recording the usage status of the Gather network or specified systems, categorized into user self-protection and system audit protection. Network security audits can dynamically monitor the network, find intrusions and violations, and record everything happening on the network, providing evidence for users. The Gather network security audit includes the following functions:
Information Collection: It involves gathering the necessary audit data through various technological means such as logs, network packets, etc. The key aspects to consider for this function include the types of information collection methods, the scope of information collected, and the granularity of information collected. If packet auditing technology is used, network protocol packet capture and analysis engines are particularly important. If log auditing technology is used, log normalization technology is essential to assess the manufacturer's basic skills and professional capabilities.
Information Analysis: This entails analyzing and auditing the collected information. This is the core of the audit product, and the effectiveness of the audit is directly reflected here. In terms of implementing information analysis technology, simple techniques may involve database-based information querying and comparison, while complex techniques may include real-time correlation analysis engine technology, rule-based auditing, statistical-based auditing, and time-based auditing algorithms, among others.
Information Storage: Both the collected raw information and audited information must be stored for reference and can serve as evidence. Key points in implementing this function include massive information storage technology and security protection technology for audit information.
Information Presentation: This includes audit result display interfaces, statistical analysis report functions, alarm response functions, device linkage functions, etc. This part of the functionality directly reflects the audit results and is where each manufacturer demonstrates their strengths.
Product Security and Auditability Functionality: The audit product itself must be secure, ensuring the integrity, confidentiality, and validity of audit data, and access to the audit system must be secure. In addition, all accesses and operations on the audit product must be logged and auditable.
2.2.4 DDoS Attack Prevention:
Through a distributed defense system, Gather can effectively defend against DDoS attacks, ensuring service stability and availability. The Gather network's distributed high-defense servers, implemented through distributed infrastructure, continuously monitors incoming network traffic, identifying and analyzing potential DDoS attack traffic in real-time. By using traffic analysis algorithms and artificial intelligence technology, it can rapidly detect abnormal traffic patterns and respond accordingly.
2.3.1 Blockchain Technology:
Gather utilizes blockchain technology to implement a decentralized trust mechanism, ensuring data immutability and transparency. Additionally, it employs smart contract technology to facilitate automated management and governance functions.
In a blockchain-based social network, there is no central entity or individual that can access all user data. Every transaction conducted on the blockchain network is encrypted, making it inaccessible to entities other than those participating in the peer-to-peer network. This enhances the privacy and security of digital assets and personal information.
Furthermore, blockchain social networks allow users to create their profiles without revealing their identities, reducing the risk of identification and the potential misuse of this data for malicious or non-malicious purposes. Blockchain technology also addresses the issue of data integrity. Once stored on the blockchain, data cannot be deleted and is extremely difficult to tamper with. Even if a hacker infiltrates one block and alters information, this action would change the identification or "hash" of the entire block, thereby compromising the integrity of all subsequent blocks and exposing the hacker's actions.
2.3.2 P2P Networks:
Gather utilizes a P2P network architecture to enable direct communication and data transmission between nodes, avoiding the single point of failure and performance bottleneck issues associated with centralized servers. This approach also enhances the system's scalability and fault tolerance.
A P2P network is a distributed application architecture where tasks and workloads are distributed among peers (nodes). It is a networking or network form of the peer-to-peer computing model at the application layer.
In simpler terms, a P2P network is an idea for network structure that differs from the predominant client/server (C/S) structure of traditional social networks in that: there is no central node (or central server) in a P2P network structure; each participant (node) has an equal status, acting as both a server (providing services to other nodes) and a client (consuming services provided by other nodes); and peers (nodes) can access each other without the need for a third-party intermediary entity.
P2P network computing technology is continuously applied in various fields such as military, commercial, governmental, telecommunications, and communication. Depending on the specific application, P2P applications can be broadly categorized into file content sharing and downloading, streaming media technology, computing power, and storage sharing, among others.

Through this technical architecture, Gather's social product can achieve a highly secure, intelligent, and decentralized communication experience. Furthermore, continuous technological upgrades and innovations will drive Gather's future development.
Message routing is one of the crucial functions in the Gather network, facilitating the transmission of messages and data to the correct destination. In the Gather network, message routing is achieved through the P2P network and the GProto protocol.
The P2P network, one of the foundational infrastructures of Gather, enables direct communication and data transmission between nodes. Each node maintains its own routing table, storing information about other nodes and facilitating the transmission of messages and data to the correct destination.
GProto is an essential component of the Gather network, providing automated management and supervision functionality. By executing a series of rules and logic, GProto ensures the accuracy and security of messages. In the Gather network, GProto is also utilized to establish a decentralized trust mechanism, ensuring the immutability and transparency of data.
Through the combination of the P2P network and GProto, Gather achieves efficient, secure, and reliable message routing functionality. Users can send and receive messages through the Gather application without needing to know the underlying technical details. Additionally, Gather offers a rich set of business functions and technical implementations to meet diverse user needs.
Cloud space is one of the essential services provided to users in the Gather network. It allows users to store data and files in the cloud and access and share them anytime, anywhere. In the Gather network, cloud space utilizes decentralized distributed storage technology to ensure the reliability and security of data. Additionally, cloud space offers a rich set of features and tools for users to manage and utilize data. Cloud space capacity needs to be exchanged using GAT. After obtaining DFS storage space, users can realize: file storage, chat record storage, friend relationships, group relationships, user profile, and other status data storage.
Key features of cloud space include:
High Availability: Cloud space in the Gather network utilizes decentralized distributed storage technology to ensure the reliability and security of data. Even if some nodes fail, data will not be lost or affected.
Unlimited Storage: Cloud space in the Gather network provides unlimited storage space, allowing users to store and share data and files anytime, anywhere.
High-speed Transmission: Cloud space in the Gather network offers high-speed data transmission functionality, enabling users to quickly upload and download data and files.
Flexible Scalability: Cloud space in the Gather network can be flexibly scaled according to user needs, allowing users to increase storage space or adjust storage configurations as needed.
Encrypted Storage: Cloud space in the Gather network utilizes elliptic curve encryption technology to ensure that users' data and files are not leaked or tampered with.
Multiple Backups: Cloud space in the Gather network performs multiple backups of users' data and files, ensuring the security and reliability of data.
Easy to Use: Cloud space in the Gather network provides a user-friendly interface and tools for users to manage and utilize data and files. Users can access and share data and files anytime, anywhere through the cloud space application or website.
Each user can use their wallet address as their username, but since wallet addresses are inconvenient to use and remember, all Gather users can apply for a globally unique numerical code to serve as a quick user identifier. This can reduce the difficulty of using scenario-based functions such as adding friends.
Applying for a GID adopts the NA public chain NFT minting protocol to generate a globally unique NFT numerical code.
GID is mapped and bound to the wallet address through the NA Name System.
Synchronization and caching of status data are performed by super nodes. If a user does not log in for more than 360 days, their account's friend relationships, group relationships, and user profiles will be cleared. If restoration is needed, users must download the data from the cloud space and re-register by signing and broadcasting it to the super nodes.
When user A adds user B as a friend, user A will apply for friendship based on B's entered GID or wallet address. The application data packet will include user A's name and basic profile.
User's friend relationships only exist on their own device. If continuous storage is needed, users need to save it to the cloud space.
In the context of group relationships, the group server (Server) is not a traditional server in the sense, it is the community itself. All content, interests, topics, and relationships are developed based on it. In the group scenario, any action should start with creating a group server. When a user starts inviting friends, it is based on the dimension of the group server. In other words, the friends invited by the user join the group server. It is a collection of relationships.
The attributes of the group server include name, icon, custom fields, etc., detailed development instructions can be found in group server management.
User Profile, Gather network supports users to locally maintain user information and user profiles. You can directly store your application's user profile in the hardware terminal and synchronize it with the Gather network. Additionally, through relevant APIs, third parties are allowed to read/update/maintain operations.
For social scenarios, common user profiles can be divided into basic information profiles and other information profiles.
Basic information includes username, gender, birthday, location, signature, nickname, etc.
Other information refers to other information required by social modules.
Gather is built on Web3.0 infrastructure public chain, coupled with cryptographic technology and open network protocols, while combining hardware boxes to provide a distributed long-link cluster, thus offering a stable decentralized message exchange network.
All data transmitted through Gather (including but not limited to voice, calls, and document files) is encrypted in an end-to-end manner, with absolutely no centralized server storage. Only the parties involved in the conversation or group members have access rights. It is impossible for telecom operators, network administrators, or any other third party to decrypt and access the data, thus eliminating the risk of privacy breaches.
Users can download Gather, create user accounts/wallet addresses, and use basic features for free.
Gather employs end-to-end encryption technology to ensure the privacy of chat content. In password management and Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA), users are both encryptors and decryptors. Gather's servers do not retain any user chats, voice, video, images, documents, etc. The servers act as mediators, like relay stations, to ensure that only users and their communication partners can see, hear, or read the relevant content. Global deployment ensures access speed and security. Messages and call contents within the application are protected with absolute secrecy from the moment they leave the sender's device until they reach the recipient's device.
In the world of Gather, we firmly believe that users have absolute rights to their personal privacy. Therefore, we not only refrain from collecting users' phone contact lists but also refrain from mandatory permissions requests. We are committed to building a communication platform truly centered around users, returning privacy and empowerment to users.
Gather further strengthens the protection of user privacy through meticulously designed and rich product features, such as privacy settings, bidirectional retraction of messages sent to strangers, self-destructing messages, and hiding wallet addresses. We always strive to provide users with the most secure and private communication experience, ensuring that every communication is filled with trust and assurance.
Gather utilizes the GProto-based communication protocol, enabling high-speed transmission in weak network environments while ensuring the security, reliability, and timely delivery of data to users. This advanced technological architecture enables Gather to operate without constraints in weak network environments, providing users with continuous and unimpeded communication experiences. Regardless of location, users can easily and securely communicate with family, friends, and colleagues, liberating communication from network constraints.
Gather prioritizes simplicity and ease of use in user experience, especially in wallet login. We have designed a seamless digital security management system that allows users to conveniently and quickly log into wallets for managing digital assets. By simplifying the login process, we not only enhance user convenience but also ensure the security of digital assets.
Gather focuses on the diversity of user needs, providing rich functional scenarios for communication in various contexts, including business community discussions at work, social interactions in daily life, and casual conversations among friends. Through clever scene designs, users can easily switch between different social modes, enabling users to have a more comprehensive and comfortable experience in digital socializing.
In the Gather network, being "together" is not merely about physical presence; it is a whole new concept. Through Gather's P2P network and GProto protocol, users can achieve efficient communication and collaboration without compromising personal privacy. This means sharing thoughts, feelings, and information with others while ensuring the protection of privacy rights. This is Gather's redefinition of "together."
In the Gather network, users participating in the ecosystem pledge can access VIP features, create their own groups, and each group can have its own subgroups. This hierarchical group structure can be used to implement various application scenarios, such as enterprise communication, social networks, online education, etc. Through this hierarchical group structure, users can conveniently manage and collaborate. Additionally, Gather provides rich tools and categorization features, such as "Ten Thousand People Group," "Anonymous Business Group," "Big Customers Group," etc., enabling users to flexibly manage their groups and subgroups. This grants absolute management authority to group owners, in line with the decentralized spirit of Web3.0 returning value creation to users. When users cancel the pledge, GAT will be unlocked and returned to the user's wallet.
The operation and development of the Gather network, as a distributed application network based on DePIN as its network technology infrastructure, will revolve around the value asset GAT in the Gather network. It aims to meet the usage requirements of various ecological roles within the Gather network. Based on this, various complex roles interact with each other to maintain the normal operation and continuous incentives of the Gather network.
GAT tokens are the general circulation assets of the Gather network, used to carry and value the ecological value of the Gather communication network. They serve as the anchoring assets for the computational assets in the Gather social network during equivalent exchanges. As the ecosystem advances and develops, the ecological governance capacity of GAT will gradually become one of the main value cores.
1) GAT Token Lockup: 10 million tokens allocated as follows:
5 million for technical purposes
2 million for operations
2 million for investments
1 million for user acquisition.
2) Destruction Mechanism: In the ecosystem applications, apart from a few exchange functions that require GAT staking mode, other fee-based scenarios operate on a destruction mode. For example: posting advertisements, launching mini-programs, etc.
3) Initial Devices: 3,000-5,000 tokens will be taken from the operational lockup coins for each device. These tokens are exclusively used for the initial startup of each G-Box device to initiate one GMT token for Dpos node initialization.
4) GAT Computational Power Mechanism and Case Explanation:
Gather hardware produces 90 million tokens using a working algorithm. Production is 20,000 tokens per day, halved every four years until a constant of 2,500 tokens/day is reached. It will take approximately 56 years to mine all tokens.
Except for the pre-mined GAT required for the initial startup, future GAT production will be jointly allocated by the three most important ecological roles in the network. These roles include:
DePIN Network Builders providing network infrastructure.
Network Data Validators providing super node capabilities.
Computational Network Contributors providing significant computational power value to the network's future.
30% Basic rights of users' hardware, namely the capacity allocated by DePIN network builders (delivering one GMT upon each G-Box activation, serving as a valid GMT node and obtaining 30% computing power capacity). This portion represents the fundamental incentive earnings obtained by users participating in the construction of the distributed hardware network. It also aims to enhance the network security of hardware platforms and increase the overall computing power.
65% Weighted contribution rewards for users' hardware network, DPoS computing power rewards obtained through GAT voting to acquire network contribution capacity weights. Each G-Box requires at least one GAT to be voted online to activate basic computing power, with a maximum of 2000 GAT as the effective voting upper limit.
5% Revenue from the 21 supernodes across the network, allocated as incentives for supernodes participating in data consistency verification, namely network data validators' earnings, based on the DPoS consensus mechanism verification.
The Gather network as a whole adopts the DPOS Delegated Proof of Stake voting power proof consensus algorithm. It is instantiated based on the NA public chain to obtain the Gather node governance function. Delegated Proof of Stake is used for node detection and status maintenance by delegating to the NA public chain. All Gather nodes must become qualified nodes, and each device must consume 1 GMT hardware device governance token to complete online device node registration.
Users participating in the construction of the distributed hardware network receive basic incentive rewards. This also strengthens network security and increases overall computational power. Each user activates a device with GMT and successfully registers, requiring GAT computational power locking ranging from 1 GAT to 2000 GAT. Additional earnings are granted for network support based on the computational power provided by these DePIN network builder nodes, which receive 30% of the network's total computational power allocation.
GMT Computational Power
GMT computational power is a unit used to measure the number of DePIN network builder nodes in the Gather network. In the DPOS consensus mechanism, nodes possess corresponding GMT computational power, with each device having at least 1 GMT computational power.
GMT Token
Note:
GMT is distributed through official sales with device shipments, with one GMT token delivered for each device sold.
GMT does not circulate in the secondary market. If there's a need to switch accounts, it can be applied for and transferred on-chain.
5.5.1 Introduction to Super Nodes:
Super nodes are an essential component of the Gather network, serving as network data validators responsible for verifying and packaging transactions, thereby maintaining network security and stability. In the DPOS consensus mechanism, super nodes have more computational power voting rights and governance functions. Becoming a super node allows for a 5% bonus reward from the total computational power.
Becoming a super node requires meeting certain conditions and thresholds, including but not limited to node hardware configuration, network bandwidth, storage space, etc. Additionally, super nodes must maintain a certain level of trust and community recognition to ensure they can make positive contributions to the community.
The number of super nodes in the Gather network is limited and dynamically adjusted according to network needs. The election and production of super nodes are determined by the DPOS consensus mechanism, which is achieved through computational power voting and delegation.
Super nodes play a significant role in the Gather network, not only enhancing network security and performance but also promoting community consensus and governance. However, super nodes also bear certain responsibilities and obligations to ensure they can make positive contributions to the community.
5.5.2 Super Node Election Method
When users lock up computational power into the Gather network using GAT, they can choose to host the computational power on their own G-BOX hardware nodes or on any other hardware nodes on the network. During each cycle, the top 21 hardware nodes with the highest total computational power become the super nodes for that cycle and receive an additional 5% reward as an incentive.
GAT is the computational asset of the Gather social network. Staking GAT is equivalent to contributing and locking more network computational power on one's hardware, thereby contributing more computational power to the network and increasing earning capabilities. Each node device must stake at least one GAT token for GMT computational power and Dpos computational power.
Each G-Box device has a maximum network computational power lockup limit of 2000 GAT. At regular intervals, users can use staked GAT to choose how much network computational power to lock up for their G-Box hardware and participate in the election of Gather network super nodes through computational power voting. Additionally, they broadcast computational power information to the underlying Gather network for confirmation and verification by super nodes, ultimately completing profit settlements.
These computational network contributors can receive 65% of the GAT token output from the Gather network.
1) Let's assume there are currently 10,000 Gather devices operating worldwide, meaning there are 10,000 valid GMT nodes. With a daily capacity of 20,000 tokens per day in the first four years:
GMT Network Capacity 30%: 6,000 tokens/day, distributed equally among GMT nodes. Each node receives 6000/10000 = 0.6 GAT/day.Example:
User A has 10 Gather devices, receiving 10 shares of the GMT capacity, totaling 0.6 * 10 = 6 GAT/day.
User B has 100 Gather devices, receiving 100 shares of the GMT capacity, totaling 0.6 * 100 = 60 GAT/day.
Explanation:
The more Gather hardware devices one possesses, the higher the computational income, referred to as the GMT node computational power competition. Each Gather device is activated with one GMT token.
2) Dpos Network Capacity 65%: 13,000 tokens/day, distributed based on the total voting power of the network. Assuming today's total GAT votes participating in computational power voting are 20,000, each vote corresponds to 0.65 GAT/day.Example:
User A has 10 Gather devices, each voting with 10 GAT, totaling 100 votes, receiving 0.65 * 100 = 65 GAT/day.
User B has 10 Gather devices, each voting with 100 GAT, totaling 1000 votes, receiving 0.65 * 1000 = 650 GAT/day.
Explanation:
In the Dpos consensus algorithm, the more GAT involved in computational power voting, the higher the computational income, referred to as the Dpos computational power voting competition. (One GAT can vote for one ticket, with each Gather node having a maximum of 2000 votes.)
3) Network Capacity 5%: 1,000 tokens, allocated to the 21 largest super nodes in the network, with a lockup period of two years. This means that 95% of the daily GAT production can freely circulate. GAT circulation among miners becomes a computational power game.
Example:
Users A and B each own 10 Gather devices, voting with one ticket each, resulting in a daily production of 12.5 GAT/day for both (based on calculations from points 1 and 2).
After mining together for 100 days, and A selling 500 GAT while B buys 500 GAT:
A holds 750 GAT (1250 - 500)
B holds 1750 GAT (1250 + 500)
The ratio of A's to B's holdings is 3:7.
Despite both having 10 devices, after circulating 500 GAT, A's daily production will be significantly lower than B's. These 500 GAT not only circulate as coins but also exchange computational power voting rights, allowing B to gain greater computational power.
Conclusion:
In the GAT computational power mechanism, there are naturally two types of competition: node competition and computational power voting competition. This creates a demand for buying and selling among miners based on the number of hardware nodes and participation in computational power voting. The price of GAT will become healthier as the number of hardware nodes increases and the scenarios for staking and consumption in applications increase, strengthening market consensus on GAT.
The GAT token serves as the governance token within the ecosystem, and all significant decisions in the network require GAT tokens for computational voting through a DAO mechanism.
In addition to governance, the GAT token also serves as a crucial utility token for circulation within the ecosystem. All settlement scenarios within the Gather network can be conducted using GAT tokens, such as specific social functions, privileges, etc.
Gather is a distributed computing network, and in the future, other enterprises and projects will only be able to utilize GAT as the asset for computational consumption. We will establish a new token economy system through collaboration with other partners to empower GAT. For example, Chainlink gains usage rights through staking and consuming LINK assets, and RNDR leases computational power through the HNT network.

As a company in the cryptocurrency field, Gather is acutely aware of the importance of risks in token secondary markets. The token secondary market refers to the trading market outside the issuance market, which is a crucial source of token liquidity. However, due to the volatility and uncertainty of the token market, there are risks associated with the secondary market.
Here are some potential risks in token secondary markets:
Market volatility risk: The token market's prices are highly volatile, and prices may fluctuate significantly due to market sentiment, macroeconomic factors, policy changes, etc. This may lead to substantial losses for investors in a short period.
Liquidity risk: Although Gather strives to ensure token liquidity, there is still a risk of inadequate liquidity in the token market. In some cases, investors may be unable to sell tokens at the desired price when needed.
Regulatory risk: With the rapid development of cryptocurrencies, governments worldwide may introduce stricter regulatory policies, leading to increased volatility and uncertainty in the token market.
Technical risk: Token technology itself also carries risks, such as hacking attacks, network failures, technical vulnerabilities, etc., which may have a negative impact on token prices.
To mitigate these risks, Gather has implemented various measures, such as enhancing token security, improving market transparency and liquidity, and strengthening communication and cooperation with regulatory agencies. Additionally, we advise investors to thoroughly understand market conditions and risks before investing and make decisions cautiously.
