World’s first intelligent context aware peer to peer network enabling human like Digital interactions
Whitepaper Technical PrimerKIP stands for Krama Intelligent protocol.
KIP is an intelligent context-aware peer to peer value network enabling human-like digital interactions through a Tesseract grid (T-grid). Each and every user interaction is persisted as a locus on the T-grid by simultaneously optimising decentralised compute, distributed storage, modulated trust and multi-dimensional value.
TDU
Total Digital Utility (TDU) is a collective measure of disparate behavior of actors in the KIP ecosystem involved across different types of interaction on multiple diApps. It offers a multi-dimensional value environment for all KIP users to leverage their respective interests and abilities to leverage services.
Big data & Cognition
KIP supports big data persistence with an external storage realm KFS (Krama File System, an enhanced version of IPFS) that is capable of storing large volumes of various forms of data, yet maintaining the state changes of the data through cryptographic hashes.
Scalability
KIP leverages PBFT Hardened RAFT with sentinel modifications to support abrupt changes in the network strength. This deterministic approach encourages businesses to adopt a minimalistic approach to obtain exponential scaling on cost-efficient hardware, thereby contributing to a greener world.
Throughput
KIP adopts the modulated trust by leveraging TARA (Ternary Augmented RAFT Architecture) to achieve partial confirmations from nodes designated by the users(we call them as “fast followers”) as well as stakeholders from other regulatory authorities(we call them as “shadow followers”).
Predictable TCO
We understand businesses can’t drive on uncertainty. Hence, KIP introduces “Multi-Tier nodes” concept to ensure Txn finality & apt gas usage, thereby encouraging the enterprise in adopting KIP for predictable gas cost.
TARA is a PBFT hardened RAFT Algorithm that is capable of:
- Dynamically managing huge addition of nodes into the network.
- Facilitate modulated trust by create state channels with nodes interested to keep track of that specific industry. This allows the users a great opportunity to choose the degree of interest needed by the verifying network.
Building applications on any bleeding-edge technologies are challenging. Uncertain behaviour of ever-changing features & functionalities lead to irrevocable issues in the production environments.
This is addressed in KIP by simulating the long-term behaviour of the app from all critical angles / combinations by the ATL State Analyzer.
diApp stands for distributed intelligent application. Unlike a dapp scripted for logic, diApp consumes Krama Services that integrates logic with external systems. Ever planned on authenticating a verified FB user for an entitlement contract? Services like Krama Identity Services come to the rescue by authenticating the user & generating diAuth - an Auth token paired with the user's wallet visible to vendors/administrators, yet opaque to fellow users in the ecosystem
KIDE is an Integrated Development Environment facilitating smart contract and app developers to edit, compile, simulate & deploy code in the KIP ecosystem.
Whereas Krama Services are set of ready-to-use libraries & special APIs married to the KIP's mesh to act as a bridge connecting external realms for qualified information.
An analogy: KIDE is to your favourite IDE as to Krama Services to the plugins that make your life easier. (cheer up devs :) )
