The audit mechanism of centralized clouds intensifies, deviating blockchain projects from the principle of decentralization. CONET, through the Layer Minus protocol, constructs a decentralized dedicated network called DCPN (Decentralized CONET Private Network), transforming centralized servers into decentralized servers where everyone is a server. It can be used for participating in shared networks, bandwidth mining, and providing decentralized network transmission functions. With no centralized servers, user data is never recorded, leaked, or vulnerable to hacking during transmission in DCPN. Individuals and companies worldwide contribute to building CONET's new internet infrastructure in a distributed manner, offering it for anyone to use. In return, these contributors can receive CONET cryptographic incentives, enabling more efficient decentralized and peaceful infrastructure deployment. The CONET project progresses through several stages, ultimately aiming to establish a fair and free market with low entry barriers, permissionless trust, supplier autonomy, and consumer freedom of choice. This market is designed to achieve flexibility and robustness in the underlying network infrastructure, ensuring security and reliability unaffected by single points of failure in an open and accessible manner. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://doceng.conet.network/core-technology/wallet-to-wallet-encrypted-network-communication-protocol/layer-minus-protocol.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
