Yesterday’s AWS outage took down major parts of the web, including crypto infrastructure like Infura - showing how vulnerable today’s centralized networks remain.
Unity’s community powered, global decentralized edge network provides flexible routing to solve such problems.
The Unity Virtual Route Builder (VRB) is a smart, intel-driven VPN feature that lets enterprises and carriers choose alternate network paths across the edge network in real time.
Example:
Route traffic from 🇪🇸 Spain → 🇰🇪 Kenya → 🇿🇦 South Africa → 🇺🇸 USA
instead of 🇪🇸 Spain → 🇳🇱 Amsterdam → 🇺🇸 USA when Amsterdam is congested.
Beyond resilience, the Unity VRB also optimizes performance by dynamically selecting the fastest Unity edge hops. This lowers latency and increases throughput - improving download speeds, reducing lag, and ensures smoother connectivity even under heavy network load.
What it does:
* Detects regional outages in real time through Unity’s live global network map
* Continuously maps and verifies the world’s internet routes through its verification layer
* Lets carriers and enterprises build custom traffic routes around affected regions
* Offers preset routes like “Bypass Outage-1” or “Low Latency US-East”
* Keeps data encrypted end-to-end through Unity’s decentralized edge
Unity maps the live internet itself. When one area degrades, Unity can instantly reroute data through healthy paths, keeping carriers, enterprises, and services online even when major cloud regions go down.
Outages happen. Downtime shouldn’t. The Unity VRB, in coordination with EarthNodes, creates a resilient, people powered internet that keeps traffic flowing - no matter where the problem starts.
