Wicrypt is happy to announce that it has over 500 active hotspot hubs on the Wicrypt network and has launched its new explorer webpage.

Wicrypt is built around innovation and aims to decentralise the global internet connectivity ecosystem. Wicrypt is officially releasing its improved network explorer page, which offers amazing new features and drives the idea of decentralisation forward. So, you might ask what a ‘Wicrypt Network Explorer’ web page is and what you can do with it. Let’s dive into it, shall we?

Like other blockchain networks like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polygon, and Binance, all have an explorer page to view all activities and transactions ever performed on the network, Wicrypt Explorer Page is a web application that displays and records all activities and transactions on the Wicrypt network. These transactions are stored on the blockchain, and the records can be accessed by anyone at any time by performing a search. The Wicrypt Explorer page can be accessed using the link ‘https://scan.wicrypt.com’. Below is a screenshot of the landing page a user sees once on the page.

The landing page has the following information about the network:

  • Total number of devices on the network
  • Online and Offline percentages
  • The number of countries, a drill down to cities, and further to the devices available in each city.
  • The block size shows the current size of blocks in the chain
  • New devices on the network
  • And finally, the total no of Outliers (Users who have minted their Wicrypt hubs as an NFT)

With the new improved search feature, users can search using the names of the hotspot hub or the wallet address linked to the hub during setup. A search provides a full report of transactions in the network related to the hotspot hub, and this report contains information like:

  • How much mining rewards have been earned,
  • When rewards from mining were claimed,
  • The staked amount,
  • The device status,
  • All transaction blocks associated with the hotspot hub and ultimately, the account.

The new explorer also provides Market Data on the $WNT token, such as:

  • Market Cap
  • Circulating supply
  • Market price
  • Maximum supply.

For users eager to know how much $WNT is mined on an account, the overview gives a good view of this and can be viewed in all-time distribution, 30 days, a week and 24hrs.

With the new explorer page, all information about the Wicrypt network is at your fingertips. Oh, the most interesting part is right at the center of the explorer page, a map showing the geo-distribution of all Wicrycrpt hotspot hubs., You can navigate to see Wicrypt Hotspot Hubs around your location and hub statuses, with details of their ISP and Internet Speed. This means that the Wicrypt explorer page can also serve as a decentralised internet network open data center, where anyone can see the internet speed of different ISPs around them. Imagine what happens when there are millions of hotspot zones on the Wicrypt network. The use cases are endless, users can filter specific ISPs and see how they are distributed on the map, and the geolocation widget lets the viewer see Wicrypt hubs around them and compare their speeds. In achieving its goal of decentralising the Internet, Wicrypt has created so much value.

There is still much more to be explored on the Wicrypt network, be sure to join the revolution of achieving a decentralised internet, you can purchase a Wicrypt hotspot hub, join the community and contribute in any way.
