DeFi Operator Investors
Investing in Hybrid VPN and Privacy Storage for Enhanced Privacy and Scalability
Our solutions are designed to outperform commercial competitors on privacy features they cannot replicate, positioning us as a challenger in the mid-to-high-end markets serving millions of users.
Decentralized technology has been around for years but has struggled with adoption due to technical complexity, low user trust, inconsistent performance and poor or no capital management.
The dedicated hub for decentralized network operators
DEVPN creates privacy based solutions powered by decentralized operators, offering both active (licensing and custom hardware) and passive (traditional data center) investment opportunities.
DEVPN goes beyond simply building a decentralized node network and relying on ethics alone; our business strategy is both stakeholder- and commercially-driven, targeting and challenging commercial markets to position us as alternative leaders in making decentralized privacy a mainstream reality.
Our ecosystem provides a well-managed commercial platform that oversees an audited, performance-driven payment network, featuring a growth program designed to fairly incentivize demand fulfillment.
Node operators form the backbone of any decentralized service, and at DEVPN, their contributions are recognized and valued accordingly. We ensure that operators are fairly rewarded and financially incentivized to scale with our ecosystem, fostering mutual growth and long-term success.
Our routes to market
While we did not invent decentralized technology, DEVPN is the ecosystem that brings it to life through a commercially viable platform. Instead of relying on a single solution, we drive decentralized advantages toward mainstream adoption with unified branding and a stakeholder-centric approach.
DEVPN is adopting a dual approach to market entry, aiming not only to establish new standards for decentralized privacy solutions directly with end users but also to bridge the gap for legacy providers.
This approach includes offering our hybrid infrastructure as a “plug-and-play” white-label solution, allowing traditional solution providers to integrate decentralized privacy features into their customer solutions as a third party without requiring major restructuring or large upfront investments.
In return, DEVPN establishes foundational layers of volume that justify capital investments from our investors and operators, while also scaling this volume through a co-dependent growth strategy alongside our direct customer route, ensuring mutual growth and a sustainable business model.
B2B Future Solutions
Future solutions we are developing focus on deploying decentralized technologies across industrial sectors, with DEVPN collaborating with high-performing operators and ICT partners to build localized B2B pilot cases that offer regulation-compliant decentralized alternatives to current cloud solutions.
DEVPN empowers operators to grow alongside our network by offering high performers priority access to pre-financed milestones. This strategy allows operators to leverage their experience in tier-based priority, securing first-mover advantages as DEVPN prepares for upcoming cloud storage regulations.
White-label operator assurance
By opting to design our solution both cover both direct users and centralized providers we are able to integrate our decentralized and/or hybrid features seamlessly, creating a path of sustainable growth.
The emphasis on securing white-label contracts is driven by the volume advantages they offer, allowing DEVPN to scale user traffic through partner networks, increasing our overall revenue.
Our ecosystem also ensures that operators will receive full credit for white-label user traffic across their nodes, generating the same revenue as native user traffic, rather than a reduced amount.
Decentralized privacy and anonymity
DEVPN operates its Hybrid VPN services based on a groundbreaking model that combines the best of both legacy data-center and decentralized node technologies into an unbeatable privacy solution.
Similarly, we introduce our Privacy Storage investing with a pioneer approach that blends traditional high-quality storage facilities with decentralized technology, providing investors with a unique opportunity to participate in a scalable, privacy-focused network designed for long-term growth.
Hybrid VPN disrupting the market
Our approach integrates traditional, high-quality data-center nodes, owned by decentralized finance (DeFi) investors rather than a corporate entity, with a new approach to decentralized privacy nodes.
DEVPN's technical approach to decentralized VPN (dVPN) node networks goes beyond the traditional ethics-only model, avoiding common challenges faced by other dVPN networks. Unlike networks that rely on volunteer and non-dedicated nodes using spare capacity with inconsistent connectivity.
DEVPN dVPN nodes are investor owned and operated, fully dedicated and optimized for reliable performance. This guarantees higher privacy, availability and connection quality across our network.
The same professional approach to VPN node networks is maintained for both our lease and core data-center nodes, which operate at the same technical quality as those run by corporate providers.
This multi-layered model ensures robust, secure, and flexible VPN access, blending the reliability of corporate-grade infrastructure with the innovative and expansive reach of decentralized technology.
Our hybrid solution is set to disrupt the VPN provider market across the board, offering our customers unparalleled anonymity, highest privacy and large scale domestic IP access, while providing investors with the opportunity to invest in one or all sides of our network at low risk and high income potential.
Ownership of DEVPN nodes
DEVPN's Hybrid VPN combines centralized and decentralized technology with a decentral ownership model. This approach not only enhances the privacy, security, and access for VPN users but also offers investors a unique opportunity to participate in the rapid growth and success of the network.
While $DEVPN is the token that drives our DEVPN ecosystem and payments, we are also pioneering the opportunity for DeFi investors to directly share ownership of individual nodes within our network.
By incorporating investors throughout our hybrid model, we appeal to a wide range of investor profiles. This contributes to a large, decentralized, and inclusive ownership structure, making us both unique and highly competitive in technical and financial aspects compared to current VPN market leaders.
DEVPN Senty Nodes DEVPN's brand new decentralized network pillar is primarily aimed at crypto enthusiasts and young entrepreneurs, offering them the opportunity to engage with brand new technology and explore the first commercially viable decentralized VPN opportunity based on mobile technology.
DEVPN node leasing DEVPN employs a strategic approach to enhance its data-center presence by leveraging node leasing from global data-centers. This enables rapid scaling of infrastructure in response to traffic spikes in specific geographic locations, efficiently handling increased user demand and usage.
DEVPN node ownership For geographic regions that consistently exceed a critical user mass, DEVPN will transition from leasing nodes to permanently installing nodes fully owned by our DeFi investors. This approach provides similar benefits in ownership as leasing does, focused on higher long-term profitability.
DEVPN storage The corporate cloud storage market has matured significantly; however, challenges like centralized control, corporate data surveillance, and limited user control persist as threats. Decentralized storage ownership offers a guaranteed, privacy-focused alternative, distributing data across a privacy-first network and providing financing and operating opportunities to our DeFi investors.

Node operator revenue model
DEVPN node operators earn monthly income through a usage-based model that tracks and compensates operators based on how their nodes are utilized and perform within our network.
50% of our user revenue stream is allocated to operators for their contributions to our ecosystem.
Operators are compensated based on active user fees from both direct users and white-label partners, with higher usage and performance leading to a proportionally larger share of the monthly distribution.
All DEVPN network payments are made in ETH or USD to avoid the token sell pressure seen in many other decentralized solutions, ensuring operators receive a more stable and dependable income.

As DEVPN's hybrid node network scales, our operator model will undergo adjustments and fine-tuning to ensure optimal performance and fairness. Any changes to these metrics and distribution methods will be transparently communicated and implemented in full coordination with our DAO members.
This collaborative approach ensures that our networks remain robust, secure, and community-driven. It provides fair and incremental rewards to our investors while dynamically adapting to evolving needs and growth. We continuously maintain a strong, scalable infrastructure that is superior to competitors.
Important note:
By running a DEVPN node, you contribute to the network's overall functionality and benefit from a share of all generated revenue, regardless of whether all users fully utilize their subscriptions or not!
DEVPN manages financial oversight and safety buffers in full coordination with our DAO. Unlike corporate providers, we do not factor overhead or over-subscriptions into our organizational profit.
Instead, all income from paid subscriptions is fairly distributed among all node operators based on actual usage, which ensures that dollars are divided transparently and fairly across our ecosystem.
$DEVPN ownership opportunities
DEVPN utilizes the $DEVPN token for all financial transactions in our ecosystem, and as such these tokens can be purchased, held, and sold like any other DeFi crypto token.
Additionally, DEVPN provides global users with a range of hybrid payment options. Whether payments are made in crypto or by credit card, they are ultimately converted into our native $DEVPN token.
DEVPN user and node payment structures are designed to continuously grow and burn tokens from our revenue, fund marketing efforts, and provide DeFi investors with a significant growth trajectory.
This carefully planned approach aims to rapidly increase users, expand node count, and structurally enhance the value of the $DEVPN token. As a result, $DEVPN becomes an attractive investment for all types of DeFi investors, whether they seek short-term speculative gains or long-term strategic returns, regardless of whether their entry point is at a $2 million or $200 million market cap.
Hybrid payout structure
DEVPN operators can easily claim and select their monthly payments through our dApp, with the flexibility to receive payments across both the BSC and ETH chains. Operators have the option to choose between native tokens, such as ETH or BNB, or stablecoins like USDT, similar to our users.
For investors looking to increase their holdings of $DEVPN tokens as our ecosystem progresses, we offer the opportunity to receive payments in $DEVPN instead of other tokens like ETH or USDT.
This provides a limited OTC opportunity for investors to accumulate $DEVPN tokens without incurring the 5% buy tax, offering a loyalty in return to our operators as a way to grow their stake in our network.
OTC opportunities will primarily provide smaller operators with a valuable chance to grow their holdings within our network. Therefore, DEVPN will consistently propose similar options to our DAO organization moving forward, pending reviews and usage feedback from investors.
Responsible node scaling
Each node in our network has a technical limit on the number of users it can handle while still providing an optimal user experience. DEVPN does not intend to deploy the deliberate over-subscription methods that mid- to lower-quality VPN operators commonly apply to the detriment of their users.
DEVPN uses artificial intelligence to monitor traffic, ensuring the best path for users and providing the necessary insights for expanding network nodes, knowing where, when, and how to scale effectively.
Node scaling and buffering are also fully organized in coordination with our DAO, ensuring that growth steps are taken in a balanced manner, guaranteeing fair treatment for user quality and the allocation of additional operator income streams.
Investor Dashboard
DEVPN is committed to transparency and detailed insight for our investors. Our full-detail investor dashboard dApp provides DEVPN operator investors with clear and direct access to their personal licenses and income overviews.
