(WIFI)

The $WIFI token serves several key functions within the WiFi Map ecosystem. It is primarily used to purchase international eSIM mobile data packages, providing connectivity in over 190 countries. Users also utilize it to upgrade to the Pro version of the app for an ad-free experience and to tip fellow community members for contributing high-quality hotspot information. Additionally, the token acts as the currency for the app’s built-in premium VPN services, ensuring secure browsing on public networks found through the platform.

WiFi Map incentivizes the use of its native token through a tiered cashback program. When users purchase eSIM data packages specifically using $WIFI tokens, they receive 15% cashback directly into their in-app wallet. In contrast, purchases made using traditional fiat payment methods, such as mobile payment providers, typically yield a much lower reward, often around 3%. This mechanism is designed to encourage token circulation and reward loyal ecosystem participants for using the native cryptocurrency.

Users can earn $WIFI tokens by actively contributing to the decentralized physical infrastructure network. Participation involves adding new WiFi hotspots to the global map, verifying the credentials of existing entries to ensure data accuracy, and performing internet speed tests at various locations. These contributions are rewarded with tokens, which are typically distributed in cycles. Higher reputation points, earned through consistent and high-quality contributions, often lead to increased token rewards for the user.

There is a critical distinction between earned and purchased tokens. $WIFI earned through community contributions and tips can be withdrawn to external wallets or exchanges like LBank. However, tokens acquired via in-app fiat top-ups are generally restricted for use within the app's ecosystem for services like eSIM and VPN. Because $WIFI is an ERC-20 token minted on the Polygon network, users must ensure their receiving address is compatible with Polygon. Additionally, the in-app wallet may have a maximum balance limit for security purposes.

Unlike many DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) projects that require users to purchase and install specialized hardware, WiFi Map leverages a smartphone-first approach. It benefit from a massive, pre-existing Web2 user base with over 180 million downloads. This allows the project to scale rapidly without hardware bottlenecks. By transitioning a successful legacy app into the Web3 space, it provides immediate utility and a large, active community, making it more accessible than many hardware-dependent competitors.

Users can buy and trade $WIFI tokens on major global cryptocurrency exchanges, including LBank. While the WiFi Map mobile app focuses on utility and "Connect-to-Earn" mechanics, those looking for staking opportunities to earn yield on their holdings can typically find such programs on centralized exchanges like LBank. This allows holders to manage their assets and participate in the token economy outside of the direct mobile app environment.
