Introduction to Infratic

Welcome to the official documentation for Infratic.

Infratic builds a trustless bridge between the physical world and the decentralized digital world. This project is a streamlined framework and software library that empowers microcontrollers like the ESP32 and Arduino to write real-world data directly to the blockchain, eliminating the need for centralized intermediaries.

Why Infratic?​

Traditionally, connecting low-power IoT devices to blockchains is complex and costly, often requiring intermediary servers that introduce single points of failure. Infratic solves this by offering:

  • 🔹 Direct & Secure Connection: By removing the middleman, Infratic reduces operational costs and enhances the security and integrity of your data.
  • 🔹 High Performance on Solana: We built our core client library for Solana to leverage its incredible speed (thousands of TPS) and near-zero transaction fees, making it perfect for high-frequency IoT data.
  • 🔹 Optimized for Microcontrollers: Our C++ library is lightweight and designed to run efficiently on resource-constrained devices like the ESP32.
  • 🔹 Verifiable Data: Record sensor readings, device statuses, or any physical event on an immutable and publicly verifiable ledger. This is crucial for creating transparent and trustworthy IoT systems.
  • 🛡️ Enhanced Privacy with ZK Proofs: Generate and verify basic Zero-Knowledge Proofs (Commitments, Merkle Proofs) directly on the device to prove data validity without revealing the data itself.
