Core Blue Ltd ('CoreBlue') is seeking to create a universal middleware, '**AllyGateway**' that allows users of services such as banking apps, to continue to use applications without an active internet connection through using an innovative fragment and repair process, reducing resource requirements and enabling automatic scalability of processing power.Mobile applications interact with services through web APIs that facilitate real-time data communication. In many applications, an offline-first approach allows users to store actions on their devices to be synced with the service when the internet returns. This isn't suitable for services like banking where actions must be synced immediately with the backend. AllyGateway will enable data transfer by passing through data streams that are broken and broadcast over the USSD.Gateways exist to allow users to request and send data over USSD, a protocol independent of the internet. However, services are very limited to short, menu-based systems that allow users to:* View balances* Transfer money* Pay billsThrough separate applications typically operating a "Text-based" interface not designed for smartphone users and taking users away from their native, 1st party mobile application.To overcome the current challenges of internet-independent communication, AllyGateway will be built with the primary objective of acting as a layer between existing systems, with ease of integration so service providers are still supported by existing setup - whilst CoreBlue's API middleware can begin operating and introducing innovative functionality.AllyGateway will provide:* Access to core internet-based services without an active internet connection* Native mobile tools that can be embedded into existing smartphone applications* Risk-Free Integration: AllyGateway will act as a 'layer' to existing systems, not replacing core servicesAllyGateway facilitates international campaigns for proxies so the public can continue to communicate during internet blackouts\[BBCNews,2023\], whilst maintaining the high-levels of privacy/security required and can be application-agnostic with future R&D.

Core Blue Ltd（“CoreBlue”）正在寻求创建一个通用中间件“**AllyGateway**”，通过使用创新的片段和修复，允许银行应用程序等服务的用户在没有有效互联网连接的情况下继续使用应用程序流程，减少资源需求并实现处理能力的自动可扩展性。移动应用程序通过促进实时数据通信的 Web API 与服务交互。在许多应用程序中，离线优先方法允许用户将操作存储在其设备上，以便在互联网恢复时与服务同步。这不适用于银行等服务，因为此类服务的操作必须立即与后端同步。 AllyGateway 将通过通过 USSD 分解和广播的数据流来实现数据传输。网关的存在是为了允许用户通过 USSD（一种独立于互联网的协议）请求和发送数据。然而，服务非常限于简短的、基于菜单的系统，这些系统允许用户：* 查看余额* 转账* 支付账单通过单独的应用程序，通常操作并非为智能手机用户设计的“基于文本”界面，并使用户远离其本机，第一方移动应用程序。为了克服当前独立于互联网的通信的挑战，AllyGateway 的主要目标是充当现有系统之间的层，易于集成，以便服务提供商仍然受到现有设置的支持 - 而 CoreBlue 的应用程序编程接口中间件可以开始运行并引入创新功能。AllyGateway 将提供：* 无需有效的互联网连接即可访问基于互联网的核心服务* 可嵌入到现有智能手机应用程序中的本机移动工具* 无风险集成：AllyGateway 将充当“层”到现有系统，而不是取代核心服务AllyGateway 促进国际代理活动，以便公众可以在互联网停电期间继续进行通信\[BBCNews，2023\]，同时保持高水平的代理需要隐私/安全，并且可以与未来的研发无关的应用程序。
