On December 25, 2017, Extreme Road announced its plans to launch the Extreme X Project on Christmas Day, announcing the release of the world's first blockchain router at an official price of $ 1,024.
According to the official introduction of polar routes, "X" represents the link, the Internet of things, blockchain, artificial intelligence link.Polar routing will be upgraded 200W + online intelligent router, making the ordinary router can also become a blockchain router.
Extreme X plans to redefine the router once again with full support for blockchain technology to provide underlying infrastructure for blockchain technology and to provide massive distributed compute and storage nodes to enable more third party partners to leverage blockchain routers , Together create a new value Internet. '
Wang Chuyun, founder of Extreme Routing, explained the logic of the blockchain router: "The most missing infrastructure in the process of blockchain landing is that 80% of the white papers do not talk about how nodes are deployed, most of them have only one Server, the program is written up the blockchain.
However, when the actual landing application, if the user base is not enough, the number of IP can not be guaranteed, there is not enough nodes, this chain is actually not safe.A block core is to ensure that a sufficient number of nodes. So the logic of pole routing is to start with the infrastructure to solve the problem of large-scale node deployment.
Specific implementation, the very route directly to the block chain deployed to the router. Wang Chuyun introduced in the blockchain router configuration, the relative performance of traditional routers in storage and other performance will be greatly improved, such as memory to 1G. For the old users before the polar routing, most of the previous generation with USB interface Equipment, as long as users agree to the relevant agreement, insert the hard disk, you can upgrade to the blockchain Logically, the corresponding program deployed to the traditional router, the same can be an accounting node.
In order for users who do not know about the blockchain to experience the process of blockchain, the router will give the same small token to routers that do not mine, allowing users to experience the blockchain and wallet concept.
It is noteworthy that the extremely routed blockchain router does not issue its own token , But welcomes the addition of other Achain-like third-party blockchain partners, which provide large-scale nodes as infrastructure to make blockchain even faster.
