What is Wayru?

Wayru is a blockchain-powered wireless network that makes internet access open, community-driven, and truly global. Our mission is to replace the outdated, centralized model of connectivity with a decentralized system where anyone — from local ISPs and entrepreneurs to individuals and communities — can build, own, and operate internet infrastructure.

Why Wayru Exists

The internet is one of the most transformative resources in human history. Yet, billions of people remain disconnected or underserved due to high costs, restrictive monopolies, and outdated infrastructure.

  • Over 3.7 billion people still lack reliable internet.

  • Legacy providers are slow, expensive, and heavily centralized.

  • Users are often faced with high costs, poor quality, and limited choice.

Wayru flips this model on its head, enabling anyone to participate in building and owning the network.

We believe that ownership matters — and that internet infrastructure should not be controlled by a handful of corporations, but distributed among as many people as possible.

By putting connectivity in the hands of communities, entrepreneurs, and everyday users, we are creating a network that is cheaper, faster, more transparent, and built for everyone.

How It Works

Wayru combines blockchain technology, decentralized ownership, and real-world WiFi hardware to build a global network of hotspots:

  • Hotspot Operators – Anyone can participate by deploying a Wayru Hotspot. Purchase one directly from Wayru, bring your own device and flash it with our firmware (WayruOS), or connect through supported protocols.

  • WayruOS – Our open firmware that transforms compatible devices into Wayru Hotspots, enabling seamless integration and network participation.

  • Distributed Rewards – Operators and contributors earn the Wayru Token ($WAYRU), which ties real-world connectivity demand to a transparent, on-chain economic model.

  • Scalable Infrastructure – From individuals setting up single hotspots to mid-sized ISPs managing fleets, Wayru provides the tools to onboard, manage, and grow networks at any scale.

What Makes Wayru Different

  • Decentralized by Design – Ownership is shared, not concentrated. Anyone can be a network builder.

  • Global Reach – Designed for cities, towns, and rural areas alike, from Latin America to the rest of the world.

  • Low-Cost, High-Impact – By leveraging community participation, low-cost units, and existing hardware, we reduce infrastructure costs and accelerate deployments.

  • Transparent & Fair – All fees, rewards, and buybacks flow on-chain with public accountability.

  • Open Participation – Whether you’re a telco, small business, or individual, you can join and benefit.

Our Vision

We’re building more than just a WiFi network. Wayru represents a new model for internet connectivity:

  • A system where access is affordable and universal.

  • A network where communities earn by providing services.

  • A digital economy that rewards participation and reduces reliance on monopolies.

The internet has already reshaped the world more than any other invention. But the next chapter will be written by networks that are open, inclusive, and owned by the people.

Wayru is leading this transformation. Together, we can build a blockchain-based global wireless network and unlock digital freedom for everyone.
