Minima, a layer-1 blockchain focused on Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) solutions, has announced a novel partnership with Wicrypt, a smart Wi-Fi network that allows users to earn tokens by sharing their Wi-Fi hotspots. The collaboration aims to democratize internet access and make it more affordable for everyone by decentralizing the infrastructure required to provide internet connectivity.
The partnership leverages Minima’s lightweight, device-agnostic blockchain architecture, which enables full nodes to run on mobile and IoT devices, making it highly adaptable for scaling DePIN. The two companies hope to reshape how digital services are delivered and consumed by integrating Minima’s blockchain technology with Wicrypt’s innovative Wi-Fi network.
Wicrypt will embed Minima nodes into Wi-Fi routers, allowing them to grant network access to Minima users. This approach not only decentralizes the network’s infrastructure but also enables Wicrypt router users to actively participate in the Minima blockchain, supporting transaction processing and contributing to the strength and distribution of the network.
In an exclusive interview, Hugo Feiler, Co-founder and CEO of Minima, shared insights into the partnership, the challenges of decentralizing internet access, and the future of DePIN solutions. The following Q&A delves deeper into the vision behind this innovative collaboration and its potential impact on the digital landscape.
