The Hub: Sentrix

Hub-Centric Communication Model

Hangar DAO’s proposed home automation system revolves around a local central hub, the Sentrix, bridging the gap between local smart home modules and the Solana blockchain:

  1. Local Communication: Sentrix connects to smart home modules via secure Wi-Fi, facilitating rapid data exchange within the home network.

  2. Blockchain Relay: Sentrix acting as an intermediary, the hub processes user commands received via the blockchain and relays them to the respective modules, when required.

  3. Data Aggregation: Sentrix collects data from modules and transmits it back to users through the blockchain, ensuring secure communication and authentication.

  4. Processing Power: Sentrix will provide processing power to the peripheral modules, where complex data processing is required to enhance module functions. To enable simpler and low-cost peripheral modules, programmable logics or AI-models may be off-loaded to the hub, as required.

Web3-Enabled Interfaces

Users interact with the Sentrix and interconnected modules through wallet-connected mobile applications and Web3-enabled websites:

  1. Wallet Integration: Users authenticate and manage their systems using Web3 wallets, such as Phantom or Solflare, ensuring secure access.

  2. Applications: Intuitive apps will be developed to allow users to issue commands, monitor their systems, and receive notifications in real-time. Additional browser-based platform will provide smart-contract based management tools for security-enhanced controls, access logs and detailed system analytics.

Security Measures

Hangar DAO will implement advanced security protocols on Sentrix and its interfaces to safeguard user data and system integrity:

  1. End-to-End Encryption: All communication between the hub, modules, and blockchain is encrypted using industry-standard cryptographic techniques.

  2. Decentralized Authentication: Wallet-based logins reduce dependency on centralized credentials, enhancing user privacy and security.

  3. Immutable Logs: Blockchain’s immutable nature ensures that all interactions are securely recorded and cannot be tampered with.

Solana’s Unique Contributions

Operating within the Solana ecosystem provides Hangar DAO with several key advantages for building Sentrix hardware and user base:

  1. Seamless Integration: Solana’s ecosystem supports efficient deployment of smart contracts, enabling advanced features such as automated command execution and transaction validation.

  2. Scalability: Solana’s infrastructure supports millions of active users without compromising speed or security.

  3. Low Energy Footprint: Compared to traditional blockchains, Solana’s energy-efficient consensus mechanism aligns with sustainable practices.

  4. Decentralized Operations: Eliminating reliance on centralized servers reduces risks of data breaches and ensures continuous operation.

  5. User-Centric Design: Wallet-connected interfaces empower users with full control over their systems and data.

  6. Real-Time Interaction: Solana’s high-speed transactions enable seamless real-time control and updates for smart home devices.

  7. Cost-Effective Scaling: Minimal transaction fees allow the system to grow without burdening users financially.
