Media Network was born to help front-end teams succeed at scale. From the ideal non-KYC blockchain experience for DAOs and DeFi protocols to the best performance for your end-users via its worldwide Media Edge Network. A great workflow is a means to an end: creating a delightful protocol that developers enjoy while removing the need of hoarding personal data and payment information that we’re used to with legacy “Web 2” CDN providers. Delivering all this without sacrificing performance is the...

The Media Foundation is excited to be sponsoring Let’s Encrypt, the world’s largest certificate authority. Part of the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG), Let’s Encrypt currently provides certificates for more than 250 million websites, constantly innovating toward a more secure web. Let’s Encrypt <> Media Foundation Both Let’s Encrypt and the ACME protocol are a crucial part of Media Network, as these are used to issue certificates at the edge for newly created CDN resources. That’s why...

Update May 6, 2022: Due to technical delays, we’re expecting MEDIA emissions to resume May 30, 2022. At that point, we’ll announce which pools & exchanges will be eligible for rewards. Last week we worked hard with our friends & partners at FTX/Alameda to resolve some minor technical delays related to the MEDIA unlock schedule. We want to thank them for their support & assistance in solving this. We also wanted to clarify that no MEDIA has been unlocked for any categories yet. We’re pleased t...

Happy new year to the Media family! It’s time for another update. Many of our recent blog posts have had to do with helping developers understand the Media Network protocol effectively while providing monthly tech updates. As the only dCDN in the market with a working product for DAOs and Web3 developers looking for alternatives to centralized CDN platforms, we wanted to review some of the most frequently asked questions on our social media channels about this groundbreaking technology availa...

DeFi projects and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) are a perfect fit for Media’s dCDN, allowing them to serve their websites and applications without going through legacy Web2 centralized providers’ hassles.Media’s dCDN processed more than 34M requests in January alone.PaaS (Protocol as a Service) Like DeFi and DAOs, Media is founded on the principle of permissionless, open access and does not decide who can use the service. Compared to legacy CDN providers used today by most pro...

Media Network + Handshake: Fulfilling The Web3 Dream Since we started working on this project, we knew that domain names were one of the key points to solve as the namespace owner (i.e., .com, .net) could ultimately censor Media Network’s CDN resources. Today, we’re excited to announce our Handshake (HNS) integration: Web2 legacy and HNS .dcdn/ TLD are enabled by default for all resources created on the network.CDN resources are reachable via both legacy and HNS domains.What is Handshake?

Media Network <> Livepeer.The Livepeer Protocol: Decentralized Video Transcoding Much has been written and talked about the Livepeer protocol in the last few months. They’ve accomplished something pretty impressive: a decentralized protocol that provides video transcoding services, which refers to the reformatting of a video to suit a variety of bandwidths and devices. Anyone with a supported device can earn LPT rewards in exchange for providing transcoding services to the network. The best t...

A new architecture for a highly-scalable, decentralized and censorship-resistant content delivery network.CDN History Content delivery has seen dramatic growth over the last decade, with large publishers typically distributing the load among geographically dispersed edge-servers to improve end-user performance.

Over the past few weeks, our team of engineers has been busy working on several exciting new features and network upgrades. We’re excited to introduce Media Edge caching, custom subdomains, and a new blazing-fast Media App. In addition, upgrades to the Media Guard software have been applied, speeding up synchronization with Solana’s Blockchain. We’ve also pushed minor upgrades to our load-balancing protocol, which dynamically rebalances load across all nodes based on end-user requests. Media ...
