BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE EPNS

OPERATION COMPONENTS.

EPNS PROTOCOL (Send Notifications)

The main goal of the EPNS Protocol is to make sure all notifications are prepared and sent in compliance with the protocol standards. This will make every notification readily available to be picked up by the PUSH Nodes in charge of dispatching.

Push Nodes (Retrieve and Dispatch)

The main goal of the PUSH Nodes is to listen to events in the EPNS protocol smart contracts and dispatch the notifications to the corresponding recipients.

Governance

Governance is crucial for any decentralized protocol, and EPNS is no exception. Incentives for participation both in terms of token rewards and otherwise is importance to ensure strong network effects. We already created the following incentives for governance:

Toolkits and SDKs

After participating in Hackathons, bounty programs, and integrating EPNS with some of our partners, we’ve learned which tools will make a developer’s life easier.

We are targeting the release of four SDKs:

Front-end SDK: Will enable 3rd party services to interface with the channels, and facilitate sending notifications to users directly from third party dApp front-ends.

Back-end SDK: Will allow easy integration for protocols wanting to send notifications interfacing directly with the EPNS protocol smart contracts.

PUSH Mobile SDK: Will enable Mobile Apps to easily integrate and interface with EPNS PUSH Nodes and receive real-time notifications with the PUSH SDK doing most of the heavy lifting.

EPNS Subgraph: Together with these three important components of our Developers Toolkit, we will continue developing further our Subgraph.
