A decentralized mobile internet sharing and monetization network, Wicrypt gives users the power to control their own mobile internet data. Wicrypt is ISP agnostic and location agnostic. The Wicrypt protocol is a protocol that enables end-to-end encryption of user data, bills the user for the amount of data consumed, and credits the host. The Wicrypt protocol also creates a decentralized storage network making use of devices as micro nodes.

What started as a decentralized internet solution to empower users in rural and urban areas, Wicrypt today has been successful in garnering the trust and support from numerous community members, government organizations, leading investors, and many other top projects in the industry. Our community is ever-expanding and has reached 65,000+ followers on Twitter and 24,000+ members on Telegram already, and this is just the beginning! Our Funding Round was also a great success where Wicrypt raised a strategic $1.5 million from the industry’s top investors, as the company was profitable before the raise.

Wicrypt, launched in 2018, has acquired over 15,000 users to date. It has its mobile app on Google Playstore and iOS app store.

WNT token utilities:

  • Governance: $WNT holders can perform actions to govern the entire Wicrypt network. Governable parameters will include, but will not be limited to:

1. Bandwidth amount to be shared by the host to earn $WNT.
2. Bandwidth amount to be consumed by the client to earn $WNT.
3. Maximum billing rate a host can set.
4. Minimum uptime a host’s hotspot will have in order to earn $WNT.

  • Staking: Hosts will stake $WNT to join the Wicrypt network and act as hosts. Hosts need to stake $WNT to disincentivize them from malicious behavior by requiring them to have skin in the game.

- Hosts will lose staked amounts if the hosts carry out malicious activities.

- The hosts also earn rewards in $WNT when they have met certain conditions while providing bandwidth to connected clients.

There are two types of Wi-Fi hosts in the Wicrypt network:

- $WNT reward earning hosts.
- Non-$WNT reward earning hosts.

  • Staking Rewards: $WNT is used to reward the hosts that provide active hotspots with high uptime and have shared a specific amount of bandwidth. 20% of overall network tokens will be allocated for the $WNT reward for hosts. Clients get incentivized with $WNT when they connect to multiple hosts for a specified period of time and have consumed a specific amount of bandwidth. 5% of overall network tokens will be allocated for client rewards.
