STATIK
Statik is a decentralized uptime monitoring network that transforms website reliability checking into a DePIN economy.
Tech Stack
Description
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
Technical Architecture
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
Consensus Model:
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).
