# Architecture

**DePin**: devices can integrate with the DVP protocol to share their bandwidth securely. Each DePin device registers its information within the Cosmos CometBFT, which maintains a decentralized ledger of all participating devices. This ensures that all DVP trackers can access DePin information without compromising privacy.

**Cosmos CometBFT**: This consensus algorithm ensures that the registered information of DePin devices is consistently maintained across the network. The use of Cosmos CometBFT guarantees that DVP trackers can access DePin information while preserving user privacy.

**DVP Trackers**: These entities track the availability and status of DePin devices within the network. By leveraging the decentralized ledger maintained by Cosmos CometBFT, DVP trackers can efficiently manage connections without compromising privacy.

**Anonymous Browsing**: DVP protocol supports the use of anonymizing browsers, which prevent platforms from employing technical means to trace user locations. This feature enhances the privacy and security of Web3 users accessing online resources through the DVP network.
