OpenRoaming, developed by members of the (WBA), including leading telco companies, allows devices to automatically switch connections between networks provided by various ISPs or WiFi operators. Wayru leverages this technology to link local WiFi networks, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted internet access without the hassle of login screens.

Wayru's Decentralized OpenRoaming

Wayru enhances OpenRoaming by establishing connections through a fully decentralized, on-chain authentication protocol, ensuring that users' data remains self-sovereign and out of central databases. At any Wayru OpenRoaming hotspot, WiFi logins are verified by oracles that authenticate users' Decentralized Identity Credentials (DIDs).

To access Wayru's global OpenRoaming network and earn rewards, users need to download the Wayru app. This allows for automatic connections at OpenRoaming hotspots.

Wayru and WBA OpenRoaming

Wayru is pioneering decentralized WiFi OpenRoaming via blockchain technology. By integrating the Wireless Broadband Alliance into our system, users can access over 3.5 million OpenRoaming hotspots globally. Like connecting through Wayru miners, accessing any other WBA OpenRoaming hotspot guarantees a seamless, automatic experience fortified by enterprise-grade security protocols.

OpenRoaming Hotspots can be found in various locations, including:

  • Hotels and convention centers

  • Airports and transportation hubs

  • Educational institutions

  • Businesses like retailers, restaurants, and cafes

  • Sports and concert venues

  • Office buildings

  • Public places like parks, libraries, and government buildings

Certified Identity Providers (IDP)

Wayru is proud to be recognized by the Wireless Broadband Alliance as a Certified Identity Provider (IDP). This status enables Wayru to issue OpenRoaming credentials, such as Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs), which serve as users' digital identities. As a Web3-native OpenRoaming identity provider, Wayru offers distinct advantages, including superior security and seamless interoperability. This decentralized system allows users to automatically and securely connect to a wide array of participating networks globally, eliminating the need for manual logins or captive portals. Utilizing blockchain technology, Wayru ensures that user data and privacy are safeguarded.

Certified Access Network Providers (ANP)

Wayru is recognized as a Certified Access Network Provider (ANP) by the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA), ensuring our network infrastructure adheres to the highest reliability, performance, and security standards. This certification allows Wayru to seamlessly integrate with other certified networks, enabling users to effortlessly access a wide range of WiFi services, whether at home or traveling abroad. This level of interoperability enhances the user experience by delivering consistent, high-speed internet access paired with robust security features. As a frontrunner in the global WiFi ecosystem, Wayru utilizes its ANP certification to provide its users with cutting-edge connectivity.
