We have been overwhelmed with the amazing support and response from the industry, our community, and all the projects that have applied to launch on Xend Launchpad. Xend Launchpad is the first and only launchpad that is focused on the African ecosystem, giving developers and entrepreneurs a chance to gain broader recognition around the world.

We have thoroughly screened applying projects so that our users and community have early access to those with high potential and social impact.

Following the massive recognition and huge anticipation, we are excited to announce our first Launchpad project: Wicrypt~ The Smart WiFi Network Powered By You!

Wicrypt ($WNT) has quickly become the most exciting and buzzed-about startup to launch out of Africa in years! Covered by numerous news outlets, many are saying it’s the next Helium, except geared towards rural and remote regions.

Introducing Wicrypt

Wicrypt is a decentralized mobile internet sharing and monetization network that empowers anyone, anywhere across the globe with Internet & WiFi. Users can monetize with $WNT (Wicrypt Network Token) while sharing high-speed internet access with guests, customers, or their community, for free or at any chosen rate.

Wicrypt is moving towards global internet decentralization with its unique ‘The Outliers’ NFTs that are the digital representation of Wicrypt physical devices (called Wicrypt Hotspot Creators) on the blockchain. The first set of unique Outliers that will embark on this quest will be called “The Originals’’. The total supply of these devices is only 15,000, and each of them is unique. The Outliers NFTs/Wicrypt Hotspot Creator devices will seamlessly connect IoTs with blazing fast internet and the ability to customize and share WiFi.

Outlier NFTs/Devices And Its Role In Global Internet Decentralization

The Outliers/Wicrypt Hotspot Creator devices create hotspots for peer-to-peer internet sharing and IoT connections while also mining $WNT. 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.

For complete info on $WNT mining and other reward structures on Wicrypt Devices, read more here.

Out of the total 15,000 devices to jump-start the network, 3,000 will be sold on Xend Launchpad for an exclusive discount of 20% with Free 100 $WNT Tokens attached to each NFT device you purchase during the sale period. A single user can get up to 10 devices depending on a factor called the xPower, which increases in value with more $XEND tokens staked on the Xend Finance staking platform.
