Statik is a decentralized uptime monitoring network that transforms website reliability checking into a DePIN economy.
Traditional uptime monitoring services suffer from three critical flaws:
1. Centralization Risk: Single provider failures leave businesses blind to outages
2. Geographic Limitations: Limited monitoring locations miss regional issues
3. High Costs: Enterprise monitoring costs $500-5000/month, pricing out small teams
Statik creates a permissionless DePIN network where:
Validators run lightweight nodes that check website uptime from diverse global locations
Website Owners pay U2U tokens for continuous monitoring from multiple independent validators
Smart Contracts handle staking, payments, and reward distribution transparently on-chain
Why U2U Network?
U2U's DAG-based architecture is essential for Statik's real-time requirements:
High Throughput: Process thousands of validation check-ins per minute without congestion
Fast Finality: Instant credit deductions and reward distributions (critical for UX)
Low Gas Fees: Economic viability for micro-transactions (10 credits per check)
EVM Compatibility: Seamless integration with existing Web3 wallets and tools
On-Chain Components (U2U Mainnet):
Validator Staking Contract - Requires 1000 U2U stake to participate, slashing for misbehavior
Payment Contract - Users deposit U2U tokens converted to monitoring credits
Rewards Pool - Distributes earnings to validators based on completed validations
Website Registry - Immutable record of monitored URLs and check intervals
Off-Chain Infrastructure:
Coordination Hub - Cloudflare Workers with WebSocket for real-time task distribution
Validator Nodes - Docker-containerized clients fetch URLs and report results
Durable Objects - Maintain validator connections and aggregate multi-signature validations
We use Fisher Yates algorithm. Each website check is performed by 3 randomly selected validators. Results are aggregated using weighted majority voting (validators with higher stake and uptime history carry more weight).
Real-time uptime dashboard with historical analytics
Geographic distribution of monitoring nodes
Instant alerts via webhooks/email when downtime detected
Configurable check intervals (1-60 minutes)
On-chain proof of monitoring SLA
For Validators:
One-command deployment via statik CLI tool
Auto-scaling: run multiple validator instances per wallet
Transparent earnings tracking on-chain
No specialized hardware required (runs on $5/month VPS)
Users pay: 10 U2U credits per validation check
Validators earn: 100 U2U credits per completed validation
Platform fee: 5% directed to treasury for development
Slashing: 10% stake penalty for repeated false reports
Target Market: DevOps teams, SaaS companies, DeFi protocols, e-commerce platforms
TAM: $2.1B global uptime monitoring market (growing 12% YoY)
Competitive Edge: 10x cheaper than centralized alternatives, censorship-resistant, no vendor lock-in
We are looking up to $200K to accelerate deployment on U2U Mainnet. Proposed Use of Grant Funds: Phase 1: U2U Integration (3 months - $60K) - Smart contract development and security audits - Migration from off-chain to on-chain credit/reward system - U2U wallet integration across all client interfaces - Mainnet deployment and monitoring infrastructure Phase 2: Network Bootstrapping (6 months - $80K) - Validator incentive program (bootstrap 100+ nodes globally) - Rewards pool liquidity to ensure reliable payouts - Geographic expansion to 10+ regions for global coverage - Community validator onboarding and technical support Phase 3: Product Development (6 months - $40K) - Advanced analytics dashboard (MTTR, incident reports) - Alert integrations (webhooks, email, Slack, Discord) - Mobile-responsive interface improvements - Enterprise features (multi-user accounts, API access) Phase 4: Go-to-Market (6 months - $20K) - Documentation and developer resources - Integration guides for Web3 projects on U2U - Marketing content (tutorials, case studies, demos) - Community building and ecosystem partnerships Why This Grant Matters: Without external funding, we can only maintain the current MVP. The grant enables us to: - Fully leverage U2U's DAG architecture for production scale - Build a self-sustaining validator economy with proper incentives - Compete with centralized monitoring providers - Bring real utility and users to the U2U ecosystem
