💡 Introduction

The transformative role of hotspot operators underpins the vision at Wayru, which imagines a world where everyone is a potential contributor to the infrastructure of the internet. As the backbone of our democratized approach to internet connectivity, hotspot operators elevate their WiFi devices from routine household items to crucial network nodes pulsating with shared digital life.

📡 Become an operator

Becoming a hotspot operator isn't simply about contributing to the infrastructure of the internet; it's about breathing life into our shared digital world. By turning on their WiFi devices and allowing others to connect, hotspot operators extend the reach of the internet, wrapping their communities in the glow of digital connectivity. Simultaneously, they open up a stream of potential rewards for themselves, earning $WAYRU tokens in proportion to the uptime and usage of their hotspots.

💎 NFN Minting

Joining the Wayru network as a hotspot operator involves minting a Non-Fungible Node (NFN). This act of minting serves as the operator's passport into the network, marking their transition from an individual WiFi user to a pivotal participant in our mission to democratize internet access. The price to mint an NFN is set at 25 USDC for a Wayru Devices and 50 USDC when you bring your own WayruOS compatible device. Read more about The Non-Fungible Nodes here.

🪙 Deposit **$**WAYRU

For a Hotspot to receive all it’s possible reward TBA $WAYRU tokens needs to be deposited into the NFN’s smart contract which in return will mint an NFT representing your position. Read about Wayru Hotspot-Pegged NFTs here.

🧪 Examples

Here are some examples of where to deploy a hotspot:

• Coffee shops or restaurants: provide WiFi to their customers and earn $WAYRU tokens in return.
• Small business: set up WiFi hotspots to attract and retain customers.
