Orthonode Infrastructure Labs™ | Nexus Protocol (Prototype)

v1.4.7 [ZERO-TRUST INGRESS] | Zero-Trust Edge Execution Layer

License Backbone Legal Status Hardware

Orthonode Infrastructure Labs™ is a universal zero-trust gateway for DePIN hardware. By replacing ephemeral tunnels with a persistent Cloudflare Zero-Trust Ingress, Nexus establishes a hardened, identity-aware link between edge devices and the controller—enforcing the Verify-then-Execute standard at the point of ingress.


🏗️ Infrastructure Architecture: The Cloudflare Backbone

Nexus decouples the "Ingest Layer" from the public internet. All hardware nodes communicate through encrypted Cloudflare Tunnels, ensuring:

  • Zero-Exposure: Devices remain behind NAT with no public IPs or open ports.
  • Identity-Gating: Authentication is enforced at the Cloudflare Edge; only verified hardware can reach the Nexus Controller.
  • Deterministic Ingress: A hardened pipe for local-first verification logic and status signaling.

⚡ Core Logic: Verify-then-Execute

Nexus moves the "Moment of Truth" to the edge. It validates physical sensor integrity and hardware context before triggering protocol-level execution.

📜 Legal & Brand Provenance

Orthonode Infrastructure Labs™ is a specialized engineering brand focused on the research and deployment of zero-trust hardware gateways for DePIN.

Orthonode Infrastructure Labs™ operates as a technical initiative of Orthonode Infrastructure Labs Private Limited, an R&D-focused legal entity based in Madhya Pradesh, India (NIC 72900), dedicated to advancing edge verification systems, protocol research, and the Nexus execution framework.


⚡ Operational Status

  • Ingress: Hardened via Cloudflare Zero Trust (Native Tunneling).
  • Execution: Deterministic economic routing (60/30/10 invariant enforced at runtime).
  • Security: Fail-Closed Strategy. If the verification heartbeat halts, the upload interface is programmatically disabled.

🛡️ Security & Disclosure

Nexus treats data loss as preferable to reward leakage. Report protocol-level vulnerabilities to: infrastructure@orthonode.xyz
