Providers can earn passive income by renting out computing resources. It is not necessary to stake tokens to participate as a provider.
5. **Why does the project exist, why do the people and the planet need it?**
ThreeFold exists to democratize cloud computing, reducing costs and increasing accessibility. It promotes sustainability by utilizing underutilized resources, reducing waste, and offering a decentralized alternative to energy-intensive centralized cloud providers.
6. **Is it geo-aware?**
ThreeFold is highly geo-aware as it deploys determistic workloads and users can decide on which nodes to deploy, and they know which nodes they deploy on and where it is located.
7. **Is it cost-effective?**
ThreeFold is highly cost-effective, offering computing resources at significantly lower costs compared to traditional cloud providers like AWS and Google Cloud. Dynamic pricing ensures competitive rates.

# Wicrypt
## Overview
Wicrypt is a decentralized hotspot sharing and token mining network that allows you to earn WNT cryptocurrency when people connect to your WiFI. It leverages blockchain technology to create a peer-to-peer internet marketplace.
## Overview
## Key Features
- **Currency:** WNT (Wicrypt Token)
- **Buying Currency:** Available on decentralized exchanges like Uniswap.
- **Utility:**
- Used for network transactions and incentivizing bandwidth sharing.
- Staking rewards for network validators.
- **Automation:**
- Smart contracts automate bandwidth sharing and reward distribution.
- **Utility in the Project:**
- Users can earn WNT by sharing their internet bandwidth.
- Validators can stake WNT to secure the network and earn rewards.
- **API:** Yes, Wicrypt provides an API for developers to integrate with their applications.
- **User Perspective:**
- Users can easily set up a Wicrypt node to share bandwidth and earn rewards.
Wicrypt is a decentralized internet sharing and monetization network built on the Polygon blockchain, designed to provide affordable and accessible internet services globally. By leveraging blockchain technology, Wicrypt enables users to share their internet bandwidth and earn rewards in the form of $WNT tokens. The platform aims to bridge the gap between centralized internet service providers (ISPs) and decentralized, user-level infrastructure, making internet access more affordable and inclusive, especially in underserved regions.
## How It Works
1. **Step 1:** Users set up a Wicrypt node by installing the Wicrypt software.
2. **Step 2:** The node shares unused bandwidth with the network.
3. **Step 3:** Users earn WNT tokens based on the amount of bandwidth shared.
## Key Features
- **Currency:** $WNT (native token).
- **Buying Currency:** $WNT is available on decentralized exchanges and can be purchased using other cryptocurrencies like ETH or stablecoins.
- **Utility:**
- **Payments:** $WNT is used to pay for internet access on the Wicrypt network.
- **Staking:** Stake $WNT to participate in network rewards, governance, and to enhance your staking score for higher earnings.
- **Governance:** $WNT holders can vote on protocol upgrades and ecosystem decisions.
- **Automation:**
- Smart contracts automate bandwidth sharing, payments, and reward distribution.
- Dynamic pricing allows hosts to set their own rates for internet access.
- **API:** Yes. Wicrypt integrates with various devices and platforms for seamless deployment of hotspot networks.
- **User Perspective:**
- **Hosts:** Share internet bandwidth and earn $WNT rewards while providing affordable internet access to others.
- **Users:** Access affordable and secure internet services through decentralized hotspots.
## Staking
- **Staking Requirements:** Minimum of 1,000 WNT tokens to become a validator.
- **Rewards:** Validators earn a percentage of transaction fees and block rewards.
## How It Works
1. **Resource Aggregation:**
- Hosts register their internet bandwidth on the Wicrypt network, creating a decentralized pool of internet resources.
2. **Task Allocation:**
- Users connect to Wicrypt hotspots, and the platform matches them with the nearest or most cost-effective hotspot.
3. **Execution & Payment:**
- Internet sessions are facilitated through distributed nodes, with payments in $WNT automated via smart contracts.
## Documentation

## Staking
- **Staking Requirements:**
- Hosts must stake $WNT to participate in the network, with the amount influencing their staking score and rewards.
- No minimum stake for users accessing internet services.
- **Rewards:**
- **Staking Rewards:** Distributed to stakers based on their staking score, which considers both the amount and duration of staked tokens.
- **Slashing:** Malicious actors lose staked $WNT, ensuring network integrity.

## FAQ
1. **Is it usable by the average DePIN user?**
Yes, Wicrypt is designed to be user-friendly, with intuitive interfaces like the Wicrypt Explorer and comprehensive documentation. It caters to both technical and non-technical users, making it accessible for the average DePIN user.
2. **Can I pay with tokens to use the DePIN product offered by the project?**
Yes, $WNT is the primary currency for purchasing internet access on the Wicrypt network. Users can also pay with other cryptocurrencies, depending on the host's preferences.
3. **Can tokens be automatically switched from other standard tokens (e.g. ETH, BTC)?**
While $WNT is the native token, users can trade it on decentralized exchanges. Automatic token switching (e.g., ETH to WNT) is not natively supported on the platform but can be done through external exchanges.
4. **If I would provide the service, what is my ROI, do we need to stake, etc.?**
Hosts can earn passive income by sharing their internet bandwidth. Staking $WNT is required to participate as a host, and rewards are distributed based on bandwidth contribution and staking score. ROI depends on network usage and staking duration.
