At Wayru, we are committed to revolutionizing global connectivity through a blockchain-based wireless network that provides seamless WiFi connectivity worldwide.

A key element is distributed ownership. Internet infrastructure should be owned by as many people as possible. That’s why we have removed barriers to make it easy and affordable for anyone to participate in the blockchain and DePIN ecosystem.

If you are part of this vision, you must understand the technical differences between our devices and how the reward multipliers for each one work.

How to Become a Hotspot Operator?

Anyone can contribute to the growth of the Wayru network by becoming a Hotspot Operator. You have two options to get started:

  1. Purchase a plug-and-play device from Wayru: We offer high-quality equipment that you can purchase directly from us. Our units are easy to install and operate.
  2. BYOD (Bring Your Own Device): Purchase a license to turn a third-party device into a Wayru Hotspot using our proprietary firmware, WayruOS. This option is ideal for those with technical knowledge who wish to use their existing hardware.

How to Choose the Right Device

When selecting a device, you should consider the following factors:

  • Initial Budget: Devices with higher reward multipliers may require a larger investment. The Apocalypse is an attractive option if you’re looking for a quick return with a low investment.
  • Technical Knowledge: If you don’t have technical knowledge, the best option is to acquire a Wayru proprietary device that is plug-and-play. If you have technical experience, you can opt for BYOD and use third-party equipment with WayruOS.
  • Location: Location is crucial, so you should choose the appropriate one depending on where you can place the devices. We recommend the Apocalypse or Genesis if you will set it up at home. But if you can access your building’s roof, install a Prometheus. The best option is to place them in high-traffic areas.

By understanding the differences between our devices and how their reward multipliers work, you’re ready to become a Wayru Hotspot Operator. Start earning crypto by sharing your WiFi and contributing to a decentralized internet network.
