Wicrypt is excited to introduce a rare and unique opportunity for our early followers by introducing The Outliers, a group of rebels (round pegs in square holes), to empower everyone with high-speed internet and better connectivity.

Understanding Outliers

We all know how telecommunication organizations and government-controlled institutions have set limitations on the global internet system. The high rates of internet and connectivity facilities offered by these organizations have only enriched their pockets, while billions of ordinary people worldwide are either still deprived of the internet or are left with limited connectivity.

The issues of last-mile internet connectivity have also prevented the people of certain areas like islands, mountains, and valleys, from experiencing internet and connectivity facilities. Due to various natural constraints, greater investment but lower profit, and other common crises, traditional Internet Service Providers (ISPs) also fail to provide better internet services in such areas.

As the world advances in technology, the availability of the internet and connectivity to anyone and everyone is crucial. There has been a massive rise in the Internet of Things (IoTs) that demand/require high-speed internet connection. While the traditional organizations may fail to cater to this rapidly growing demand, The Outliers will contribute to connecting humans and IoTs with its unique and decentralized internet sharing and monetization network.

The best thing is that this smart network will be powered by you, our next Outlier. For the Outliers to achieve their ultimate goals, they have to exist in the metaverse as unique NFTs. The first set of unique Outliers that will embark on this quest will be called “The Originals” and they will only be 15,000 in number.

Outlier NFTs & Its Role in Global Internet Decentralization

The Outliers are a digital representation of the Wicrypt Devices on the blockchain. The Wicrypt devices create hotspots for peer-to-peer internet sharing and IoT connections. Each device’s real-time information and data volume transfer is represented on the Wicrypt blockchain explorer and world map. It creates an open data network of information and data transfer in different parts of the world on the blockchain.

The Wicrypt devices batch all data transactions from the devices every 20 seconds to create a block of data transactions on the blockchain.

  • Each Outlier NFT has a “Star” property encoded into the device metadata. The Outlier’s star represents their level of achievement in the quest for global internet decentralization. The more your Outliers work and contribute, the higher their Star levels.
  • The most exciting part of being an Outlier is the rewards in Wicrypt Network Tokens ($WNT) offered to each Outlier for their contribution in creating a better internet and connectivity for both humans in the universe and machines(NFTs) in the metaverse.

$WNT Reward Advantages

  • The Original Outliers are rewarded with up to 10% of the overall Wicrypt Network Tokens.
  • Rewards will be paid out daily through the Wicrypt Reward Smart contracts to ensure transparency.
  • The Original Outliers will also enjoy having the Original Wicrypt NFTs, which they can trade to earn yield.
  • Wicrypt has also created a 20% pool for rewarding all Wicrypt hotspot creators or hosts. After the first 15,000 Original Outliers have been distributed. The 15,001th device will activate the 20% reward mechanism for all the Wicrypt Hotspot creators or hosts, which also include the Original Outliers. It means that while the Original Outliers are mining up to 10%, they will also be mining an additional 20% of tokens.
  • Originals don’t have to stake $WNT to start mining unlike other hosts that will join the network afterwards.

All the Original Outliers also have a unique tag “Originals’’ encoded in their NFT metadata. This tag serves as a stamp of honor for embarking on this journey and also allows the Wicrypt Network Community to reward and encourage the Original Outliers with airdrops on this journey ahead. Parameters that govern the $WNT reward distribution for the Original Outliers are represented in the model below.

NOTE: Parameters can be changed at the early stages based on the team’s discretion.

Conclusion
We strongly believe that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single bold step of faith. Together, we are the strongest to break through the traditional confinements and set the foundation for a great revolution. Decentralized internet and connectivity is not the need but the right of every citizen worldwide to learn, grow, and evolve better.

Wicrypt is all set to revolutionize the way we access and use the internet today. Are you ready for it? Join the Wicrypt Outliers if you dare to be different!
