During routine network monitoring, we identified operators running thousands of synthetic devices through VPNs, emulators, and /24 IP ranges. These devices were affecting the commercial value of the network. Those accounts have now been addressed, and the network is recalibrating. Please bear with us during this process as reward distribution normalises for genuine operators. Why This Matters Synthetic activity undermines the commercial value of the entire network. When partners and customers detect synthetic devices, it erodes their confidence in the data and the network itself. Protecting network integrity protects your earning potential. Please note, there is no limit to the number of devices you may run from a single IP range; however, if a partner or customer determines that your devices are synthetic rather than real-world, it may affect or limit your ability to receive tasks. To maximise reward potential, we recommend running no more than approximately 10 to 20 devices per network subnet, using real telephones, whether headless (for example, those without screens) or fully functional (with screens). What's Ahead As the network recalibrates, tasks will begin flowing back to legitimate ULOs rather than being consumed by synthetic operators. Your existing telemetry tasks will continue to run as normal. On top of this, we're preparing several new task types for release in the near term, including Scout & Runner (S&R) alongside additional WiFi and SIM powered tasks. Each new task type expands overall reward potential across the network. Unity Network remains dedicated to delivering a best-in-class edge network experience through the application, with web-based management platforms on the way. There are multiple exciting releases scheduled for March, April, and beyond that have not yet been communicated. We're also excited to announce that we'll be hosting an AMA with the founder of one of the new third-party projects - a partnership we believe will redefine what rewards mean for ULO operators. Questions? Submit them to the official channel using #AMA. Your questions will be answered at the UNO meeting on 7 April 2026. Details are available via the X post: x.com/UnityNodesIO/s… Your feedback matters. We're always working to improve the operator experience and reward structure. UNOs and ULOs, thank you for your continued support whilst we build out the largest smartphone-driven, multi-versatile, composable edge network.

@SuiNetwork is moving toward gRPC and GraphQL to deliver lower latency, better scalability, richer semantics, and a stack that fits Sui’s and Chirps object model far better. We’re happy to share that @ChirpDeWi has now completed its migration away from Sui JSON-RPC and thoroughly tested the transition. We expect the moveover to be smooth when JSON-RPC is turned off. #depin #iot

World Mobile Surprise AMA : Full Recap For everyone who missed it (or was sleeping 😉) Micky @MrTelecoms and Andrew @andrew_s_wm dropped a surprise AMA this evening.. no agenda, no script, just pure excitement about where World Mobile is heading. Both sounded fired up, almost euphoric about the momentum building across multiple fronts. I tried to scribble down as many notes as possible during the call. So this summary is my best effort at capturing what was shared. That said, please always verify key details with the team ,some points may not be perfectly reflected or may have been slightly misinterpreted in the moment. With that caveat out of the way, here's a detailed breakdown of everything covered, starting with the big one.... the Philippines. The Philippines: Andrew's Deep Dive Andrew has been laser-focused on the Philippines this week after a whirlwind stretch that included LA, MWC (which he unfortunately had to skip due to illness), and a trip to London. Catching up was the name of the game and the Philippines was priority number one. Siargao: The Launchpad World Mobile is building a major scalable fiber network that will stretch across the Philippines,and it all starts in Siargao. For those unfamiliar, Siargao sits on the east side of the Philippines, a bit south of the middle. Andrew described it as the "Beverly Hills of the Philippines" : a magnet for surfers, kiters, influencers, .. A lot of investment is flowing into the island and many of the Philippines' most connected people have holiday homes there. The plan is to kick off with approximately 1,000 nodes, with Andrew pushing hard to get them listed on the portal by end of March. 🔥🔥 Those nodes will roll out over four to six weeks. These are high-value nodes in high-ARPU areas, and here's the kicker: World Mobile will be the first fiber provider on the island, through their local partner. The only real competition? Starlink, which is expensive, oversaturated, and as Andrew put it, virtually impossible to get on the island anymore. Meanwhile, hotels are currently paying thousands of dollars per month and getting terrible service from existing carriers. World Mobile is coming in with a cheaper, faster, more reliable fiber product. And as Andrew pointed out, once someone has fiber, they never go back to satellite or fixed wireless. But This Is Not Just About Siargao... This is where it gets really exciting. Andrew emphasized repeatedly that they are not building a network for 50,000 people on one island.... They are building a network that can scale to 30 million customers over the coming years. Siargao is the footprint, the launchpad. Once those first thousand customers are live, growth can continue on the island toward an estimated 30,000 customers (with a total addressable market of about 50,000–60,000 on Siargao). But right next door sits Mindanao, and next to that, Davao .. we're talking tens of millions of potential customers. MNO Deal and Connectivity Strategy Andrew revealed he has a call lined up with a mobile network operator (name withheld as the deal isn't finalized yet). They've been in talks for months around neutral host infrastructure, coverage building, WiFi offload and a roaming agreement. This means World Mobile will be able to roam on the partner network in areas where their own infrastructure hasn't been built yet, massively expanding reach from day one. The Public WiFi and Captive Portal Play Every node deployed ( whether in a home, business, or hotel ) can broadcast a public WiFi SSID alongside the private connection. Anyone with a device can see it, connect through a captive portal, and either watch an ad for a free 30-minute premium session or top up and buy data bundles. This fits perfectly with what Andrew calls the Philippines' "sachet culture" : people are used to buying small, affordable bundles. They gather at local community centers (called Barangays) and hang out. The appetite for accessible, affordable public WiFi is enormous. The captive portal technology itself is impressive. It's built on a RADIUS server and integrates with World Mobile Chain. If you're already a World Mobile SIM customer, the portal recognizes you automatically ; no password needed. It knows your balance, your priority level, everything. Even travelers arriving from abroad get seamless connectivity. And for hosts and operators, deployment is a breeze : plug it in, change the IP, and five minutes later it reboots fully configured with the World Mobile captive portal ready to go. Coffee shops, train stations, anywhere. Andrew also mentioned that dedicated public WiFi nodes will be sold in the Philippines once the business case is proven, opening up yet another revenue stream for operators. Value-Added Services: Finance, Agriculture, Health, Education Once connectivity is established, the real magic begins. The Philippines has massive gaps in financial services , tap-to-pay is barely present, mobile money is in its infancy.... The plan is to bring real functionality and financial tools to users through the WiFi and cellular touchpoints. Agriculture, health and education are also primary focus areas. Andrew hinted at significant developments he couldn't share yet, but made it clear that the 🔥financial empowerment model being built in Pakistan (with news expected in the next two months) will absolutely be replicated in the Philippines. Projects Building on World Mobile Andrew has been actively helping incubate projects that will build on World Mobile's coverage and chain infrastructure. Two examples he shared: - Seaweed and fish farming meets environmental sustainability. The idea is to incentivize regenerative actions ( planting trees, growing seaweed ) rewarding people with tokens. Think SweatCoin, but for environmental impact. - Energy and distributed utilities. : Much of the fiber deployment involves running cables on utility poles, which naturally connects World Mobile to energy companies. Andrew's background is in utilities and distributed energy and he sees huge potential here. More reliable energy grids mean telecom sites and host operators spend less on batteries and solar, bringing costs down and ROI up for everyone. World Mobile Chain : Q2 2026 I Several partnerships are about to go live on World Mobile Chain, with press releases expected from the partner companies themselves. One particularly exciting one involves a company that will be tokenizing real-world assets on the chain. This company works with some of the world's largest organizations, including major automotive manufacturers The second quarter of 2026 is positioned as the major inflection point for World Mobile Chain activity and value. AI and the Affiliate Platform Micky opened the AMA raving about how far things have come with their AI capabilities. He said most companies are still experimenting with AI, World Mobile has fully incorporated it into their entire stack. 🔥They've rebuilt workflows around AI to move 10x, 20x, even 30x faster than the traditional telecom pace. The tech stack combines Claude, Perplexity, OpenAI and their own in-house LLM (which Micky says he can't wait to see go live on the Earth Node network). The beauty of this approach: private data stays private, while they leverage the billions of dollars invested in external AI development. As Micky put it, the combination makes them "literally unstoppable." The affiliate platform is another major development coming soon. It will allow anyone to sign up and participate in missions with rewards. Previously, rewards were scattered across X and other platforms in a messy way. This new centralized platform, combined with the power of the community, is expected to amplify World Mobile's voice. The team is currently integrating it into all core systems and both Micky and Andrew urged the community to watch closely and get ready to sign up. USA Updates Several exciting developments are brewing in the United States: Major city partnership : as mentioned in the previous AMA, a significant US city is interested in launching a "City Mobile" initiative. While details remain confidential, the scale is described as massive : a major infrastructure area wanting both public and private networks. Churches as node locations. Borrowing a lesson learned in Africa (and from Andrew's energy background), World Mobile has been making headway placing nodes in churches across the US. Native American reservations in Nevada. This one is particularly heartwarming. Near Reno, the Pyramid Lake reservation (where Burning Man takes place) received government-funded equipment years ago that has been sitting unused. World Mobile plans to go in, get it working, expand coverage and bring the sharing economy so the reservation can earn revenue from visitors. Upcoming travel. Micky is heading back to the US next week with meetings in Florida and New York. A business partner in Florida is helping handle engagement with very large public entities and the interest in World Mobile stratospheric is huge. BT Dream Test. The upcoming test with British Telecom remains a key milestone. World Mobile plans to open 10–20 community slots for a workshop in northwest Scotland Dates will be announced within the next month. Growth Numbers and Community World Mobile is now at 3.3 million daily active users, with organic growth accelerating in Pakistan. 🔥A new community dashboard is in the works that will show real-time stats rather than monthly updates The team's dedication was highlighted too. Even the Dubai-based team, working under extraordinarily difficult circumstances with regional conflict overhead, is putting in 15–16 hour days. That level of commitment runs through the entire organization. ( Thank you!) If there's one thing that came through loud and clear in this surprise AMA, it's momentum. The message to the community: stay tuned, stay loud and get ready. Thanks for reading! WMTx Lady

Every Call Creates Value. When markets turn volatile, the difference between speculation and real utility becomes obvious. Minutes Network Token X ($MNTx) connects blockchain infrastructure to something used every day around the world: Telecommunications. Through the Minutes Network ecosystem, telecom traffic is routed using proprietary technologies such as MinTech and the Jingle Plug-In, enabling optimised carrier routing, improved call quality, and reinvigorated carrier margins. By intelligently managing how calls move across carriers and enabling calls to terminate directly within compatible applications, the network is designed to retain more of the value generated by each completed call. Service fees from telecom activity support the $MNTx ecosystem from purchases on the open market. As new Jingle Plug-In integrations go live, additional MinTech deployments come online, and more traffic is routed through the network, commercial activity within the ecosystem will continue to grow. Each step forward expands the network’s capacity to generate service fees, strengthening the foundations supporting the $MNTx economy. Telecommunications never stops. And when real network activity powers a token ecosystem, utility speaks louder than market cycles.

One of the advantages of operating telecom infrastructure is that you see patterns others miss. A UK call centre campaign we recently onboarded started showing unusual behaviour. Shorter call durations. Lower conversions. Our AI systems detected the pattern quickly. The issue wasn’t routing or call quality. It was the script. Agents were referencing a well-known industry expert to build credibility. But that expert had recently published warnings telling consumers that any call using his name was likely fraudulent. The result: prospects immediately lost trust. Sales dropped. We flagged it. The call centre manager retrained the team. Scripts changed. Conversions recovered. This is where Minutes Network is different. Most networks simply pass traffic. We help our call centre partners understand what is happening inside their traffic and fix issues quickly. AI at the switching layer. Better calls. Better trust. Better outcomes. Minutes Network - Infrastructure for intelligent voice.

IoT isn't the future anymore — it's the floor beneath our feet, and it's only getting bigger. 📡 Embedded World 2026 is proof. Hundreds of thousands of devices, protocols, and builders all under one roof in Nuremberg. Chirp is here for it. DePIN meets the physical world — and this is exactly where that story gets written. #EmbeddedWorld2026 #DePIN #IoT #Chirp #Web3 #LPWAN

Chirp and the Mioty Alliance are joining forces. We're in active testing — working directly with the Mioty Alliance to bring Mioty onto Chirp's network as a supported protocol. And the early results are exactly what we hoped for. For those paying attention, this is a bigger deal than it sounds. Mioty is one of the most advanced LPWAN technologies in existence — more reliable, more scalable, and more resilient than LoRaWAN in dense and demanding environments. The kind of technology that doesn't just improve IoT connectivity, it redefines what's possible. Chirp's goal is to be the king of IoT — the network that powers automation, robotics, and critical infrastructure at a scale the world has never seen. Every protocol we add is another layer of the physical world coming onto the network. More devices. More data. More automation. The machine economy is being built right now. Chirp is building the infrastructure layer that makes it real. DePIN networks win by being the best at what they do. We're building for what IoT looks like in 10 years, not just what it needs today. This is infrastructure. And infrastructure compounds. $CHIRP | #DePIN #IoT #Mioty #LoRaWAN #Web3
