\[**AMA begins]**\
\
**Mike:** Welcome, everyone, to another Uplink community AMA. Thanks so much for joining. It's been a little while since we've done one of these. We're here today to tell you all the latest news and answer all the questions you submitted. So first of all, I want to get to my usual thank yous. First off, thank you to all of you for being part of the community! Thank you also to our ambassadors for all the work you do in the community and also spreading the word about Uplink on social media. And finally, thank you to our moderators for all the help you guys give us in keeping the lights on around here. A special shout out to tranminhdat and NAEL. We definitely couldn't do it without the two of you. All that said, I'm going to pass it over to Claudia. Claudia, for the probably very few people here who don't already know you, why don't you give us a quick intro about yourself?

**Claudia:** Hey, guys, thank you for joining, and yeah, exactly what Mike said. I'm the CMO at Uplink as many of you know. And as you also know, we were actually just at WGC, which is the Wireless Broadband Alliance's big event, Wireless Global Congress. The largest one is in Dallas and we actually launched the Uplink Marketplace while we were there, which is really exciting. We have had it internally live for a while and already have created deals, but this is a huge foundation layer for Phase 2. And what the marketplace essentially is, is where Wi-Fi networks, carriers, venues, they all come to buy and sell connectivity. So you guys have really been at the forefront of this on the supply side on the consumer side, but this is where sessions get authenticated, priced, paid out automatically and there's no middleman, and no messy contracts or anything like that.

So this is a huge foundational layer. It's live. We have customers, it's happening and we can't wait to tell you guys all about it because there's a lot of questions you guys have about the marketplace, so we'll get into it.

Our first question: **It seems like Uplink is evolving from just a registered router app into an actual connectivity marketplace. What do you think is going to be the biggest unlock that happens or that takes it from a community-driven DePIN infra that telcos and enterprises actually plug into at scale?**

**Mike:** The biggest unlock and what we're doing that is very, very different is that we are beginning with enterprises not only on the supply side or the demand side, but on both in order to actually create the marketplace. The supply side is actually going to be entirely a self-service model, through which enterprises and other suppliers of connectivity can onboard within minutes, and therefore our team can focus on the demand side. Right now we're actually already producing revenue through the marketplace. It's live. We're here. It's awesome. We're really excited and yeah, just looking forward to scaling.

**Claudia:** Yeah. If people have the right infrastructure, if they have complete control of it, we can actually onboard in minutes, which is crazy.

**Mike:** It is indeed. There's a lot of work that's gone into it. So Claudia, the next one is for you: **You guys talk a lot about automated settlement and dynamic Wi-Fi offload pricing long term. Do you see Uplink becoming more like an Airbnb for connectivity or more like a neutral back-end layer for telecom that users don't even realize they're using?**

**Claudia:** I like that someone asked this question, because there was a while that me and Carlos were actually talking about the idea of an Airbnb for connectivity, but honestly we are more like the latter. We're a neutral exchange or marketplace at the end of the day. I know we've talked about the Uplink network for a while, but what it is essentially is a marketplace of networks. They connect without even realizing, without needing a password or anything. They're just connected. Anyone that's actually using the Uplink app right now is getting free internet access to all of the verified networks that we have on the platform. So the more that we add, the more coverage you're going to have. So it's pretty exciting what we can give you guys as part of the chunk of everything that we're building with all the enterprises.

And as that grows, we'll give you guys more news. There's a lot of exciting companies that we’ve partnered with this year alone. So yeah, it's going to be cool. It's going to be exciting.

**Mike:** It is indeed. Yeah. Great question. I agree. That one came from Vitalii K. Shout out to you, man. Yeah, part of the network is connecting without even realizing it. That’s something that’s really integral to Passpoint, which of course is a big part of what we do. You don't need to log on. You connect. It's seamless. Even if you're going from network to network.

**Claudia:** Yeah. From a marketing standpoint, though, I will say it's very frustrating because I wish there was something you could do to feel like you're getting an entryway into this cool experience, but actually it's just seamlessly working in the background. You just download the app and you're in. So any Wi-Fi connection, you'll actually see it in your phone if you're connected to Wi-Fi. Underneath the actual Wi-Fi that you're connected to, it'll tell you the router, but it'll tell you Uplink underneath it. So you'll see it's part of the greater network.

**Mike:** Indeed. Cool stuff.

**Claudia:** Next question's for you, Mike: **A lot of DePIN projects grind hard building supply first and then struggle to find real demand after launch. What's Uplink doing differently on the demand side to make sure there's actual traffic, enterprise users and sticky usage once the network goes live?**

**Mike:** That's of course an absolutely common concern and again, great question. Glad you asked. So that's why our priority is on demand. Today, the marketplace is already live and as I said, we've made it very easy to onboard supply, so we don't need to spend too much time on that. Onboarding happens within minutes. On the demand side, we've already got deals, really a pipeline of deals. The only reason we haven't shared these yet is because of NDAs and finalizing details. A big advantage in generating demand is that we've been in the industry a long time. A lot of the team has been in telecom for a long time. So we have long-term relationships already with big entities in the industry. We're not trying to build those at the same time as we've been building in the marketplace. And that's really where our team shines. We're solving a real issue that saves a ton of money for these companies and they really want to work with us to tap into it. So it’s a win-win there.

**Claudia:** And so far so good. So far on track.

**Mike:** Yeah, absolutely. So, Claudia, **with the marketplace now live and Phase 2 allowing easier access to OpenRoaming, what is Uplink's biggest challenge in converting abundant Wi-Fi supply into real paid offload demand from carriers?**

**Claudia:** So with the marketplace live, what we're essentially doing is tapping into this enterprise-grade Wi-Fi supply and carriers actually already offloading on the network. At the end of year 2025, we actually launched the marketplace with a US Tier 1 carrier in an entire city in Europe, which some of you've been hearing about for a while. The continued success of what we've done in that city has made us launch the marketplace full-send. So that's why right now we're at a really decent spot where we can actually take that information, give it to the other companies, and show them the proof of this is what we've built.

It's really easy to get onboarded. And they're very excited and they want to onboard with us. And it's been consistently showing the numbers that we'd hoped for. Right now with that carrier, we already have about 10,000 premium venues and they're seeing about 44% more data being offloaded than originally predicted. So right now, really what you need to think about for Uplink is that we're the aggregator of all of that at the end of the day.

Mike, the next one is for you: **How many telecommunications companies show interest in your connectivity exchange platform so far?**

**Mike:** So that's a really wide range because we're speaking really with the various verticals within the telecommunications industry. Carriers, eSIM providers and so on. We can't, as we said, share a ton of details right now, but in terms of big ones, we are in discussions right now with more than 20. Like I said, having these preexisting industry relationships has been very helpful. All right. Claudia, on to you: **Can the team share any specific milestones or KPIs that the community should monitor over the next three to six months regarding commercial usage, settlement volume, and carrier traction?**

**Claudia:** A big part of this is what I mentioned before, which is that right now we've got the Tier 1 US carrier, 10,000 premium venues and 44% increase in data offload just from using our platform or marketplace. That's just with that one company. So yes, that's a huge KPI for us. Of course, how much data offload we can get is also a huge KPI.

The next question is for you, Mike: **With the connectivity marketplace now live, very curious about the scaling up phase, like how will new strategic partnerships with the WBA and TIP drive our global network node deployment strategy in the second half of 2026?**

**Mike:** The supply side is growing fast. As another question made mention of, supply is probably the easier side of the equation. The supply strategy is set. We're onboarding within minutes just to make this as seamless as possible. Our focus is on securing demand as quickly as we can. As we said, we're in discussions with a lot of big players and the deal pipeline is already there. We have big goals before the end of the year and we are currently very much on track to achieve those goals. So it’s a very exciting time.

**Claudia:** Very exciting time. 2026 is going to be… what did we call it? Snowboarding down the mountain.

**Mike:** Yeah, that would be great.

**Claudia:** So we called it earlier this year, so I hope so.

**Mike:** Yeah. Or skiing, mind you.

**Claudia:** Yeah, based on your preference.

**Mike:** Next question for you, Claudia: **Uplink recently launched the marketplace. Uplink could become an economic coordination layer for global connectivity. Can you elaborate on this?**

**Claudia:** Honestly, what you said about us being the economic coordination layer is exactly what we are. Think of the Uplink marketplace as a clearinghouse for the connectivity industry that it has never had before. That's why everyone that is in this industry is so excited about what we're building: because they need this and it's something that's been missing and it's the right time for all of this to really come together. Today every carrier-to-venue or carrier-to-offload deal is negotiated bilaterally. This is pre-Uplink, with billing and reconciliation handled manually, and that takes weeks at a time. What we do at Uplink is we coordinate data settlement and billing automatically across all participants. So if a session touches three networks, it gets metered, priced and settled in one flow instead of three and that's why we are essentially an economic coordination layer.

The next question is for you, Mike. **According to publicly available information on the website, Deutsche Telekom is currently Starlink's satellite mobile partner in Europe, and also a partner of Uplink. In the future, could Uplink become an important commercial intermediary between SpaceX, Starlink, and direct-to-device ecosystem?**

**Mike:** That would be absolutely wonderful. We intend to be the connectivity marketplace for all telecommunications entities and devices. Right now, we’re focused on Wi-Fi, and after that, hopefully 5G and more.

Claudia, next question for you: **When will traditional telecom operators, neutral hosts begin purchasing Wi-Fi traffic offload from community contributed nodes and how will that revenue stream be shared directly with those who are operating those routers?**

**Claudia:** This is really going to be laid out in our whitepaper before TGE. Our focus now is the scaling of the marketplace. That's priority number one. Then whitepaper, TGE, etc. And then in that process too, that same phase of time, we're actually going to be onboarding the community routers and converting them into verified routers. So you guys will be participating in the pricing dynamics, which is kind of the same throughout the entire network. It's based on utilization, it's based on liveness. There's a bunch of factors. We do have this figured out. It's just we would like to test this and make sure we have everything concrete before we bring in the entire blockchain element. So yeah, there's a lot to do in between now and then.

So I think that is more a better priority for not only us as a company, but for companies now in general, because it's no longer about hype. It's more about what you can actually do and what you can actually help with, and then making crypto, blockchain, everything an actual use on the platform that is very much needed. So that's our focus right now.

That was the last of the questions we received about the marketplace. The next section is about the roadmap. We got a lot of questions about the roadmap. This one's kind of a fun one: D**oes the Uplink team plan to deploy a testnet during the 2026 World Cup, which is in two weeks?**

**Mike:** 2026 World Cup sponsored by Uplink testnet. Jokes aside, our goals right now, as we've said, are our marketplace and our enterprise connectivity, securing demand alongside the supply, and we're well on our way.

**Claudia:** Yeah. But you will also see stadiums in a lot of these places where they do have big events, those are huge places where we can have really high quality supply. So imagine you go to the World Cup someday and you're just already connected to Uplink. That's kind of the overall vision and what we're trying to achieve here is get every entity, every enterprise and everything that they own onto the network and crossed over with the demand side.

**Mike:** Next question: Claudia, **what's next on the Uplink app?**

**Claudia:** Right now, as you guys know, it's free internet. So as the network grows and as we add more verified networks, you guys are just going to have more and more access to that free internet. It's very exciting. You don't even have to have it open all the time. It's just connecting to whatever network it can. You can also see on the app as well the points people earned during Phase 1. For now, the marketplace is the number one priority and then it's about gluing all the pieces together. So Phase 1 was the exploratory phase. Now it's the actual product launch bringing in revenue and then it's connecting everything together. Those are how the phases are essentially planned out.

Mike, next question: **What is the upcoming plan to optimize the Uplink application and expand hardware and compatibility standards for routers to attract more mass users to run network nodes?**

**Mike:** So right now the “mass” supply that's going into the marketplace is going to come from enterprise-grade router supply, and after that point we can focus on converting community registered routers into verified routers, those that can also contribute to the network.

Next question, Claudia: **Can you reveal any major updates regarding the official mainnet roadmap?**

**Claudia:** We're still in Phase 2. We're at the foundational live marketplace layer, which is enterprise-demand matching. Once we get through that, then we have testnet, and then we go into Phase 3, which is when we get to TGE. We do need to launch the testnet before we even get to that point. We already have the live marketplace for billing and settlement, and this is a first in the industry already. This entire economic coordination layer, this is what the industry really needs, a connectivity marketplace. It's already live and we are making a lot of progress on the roadmap, all of these things come in order, and it's going to take a little time. The next question: **What is the most important part of the development roadmap that you're most excited about for the rest of the year?**

**Mike:** We are most excited to finally be able to share all these partnerships with the community. I know we've had a lot that we've had to refer to in very abstract terms. It's been a lot of buildup for some announcements, some very big announcements that we're going to be able to make hopefully in pretty quick succession.

**Claudia:** Yeah. And a lot of you have been with us for two years now. I’ve always wished that we could share more beyond just Fortune 500 partner and now Tier 1 US carrier. I wish we could give you guys more information. It's going to be very exciting when we can actually share who they are. But until we get there, it's very quiet. You will understand once we share the news.

**Mike:** NDAs are a very real, very legal, very important thing.

**Claudia:** Yeah.

**Mike:** We wait until the lawyers say, "Go," and then we go.

**Claudia:** Yeah. I think we have one more question for me and then the whole section is about community events for you, Mike.

**Mike:** True. All right. Claudia, **can you share with us some notable results achieved in Phase 2 thus far over the last couple of months?**

**Claudia:** We've secured the Tier 1 U.S. carrier double deal, which I'm trying to say without actually saying it. We launched this successfully in an entire city in Europe, and we're seeing amazing traction from that. That's six months of consistent data that we've gotten with them, which is amazing. And we've signed several other deals. Like Mike mentioned, we are in talks with more than 20 other companies. There's a lot. There's a lot going on. We had a lot of success at the WGC event, and all these deals we were talking about were made prior to that. So yeah, there's a lot. We’re very excited to actually see these deals come to light.

**Mike:** Pretty big deal, yeah.

**Claudia:** The next category of questions is community-related, and Mike will be handling these. The first question: **What new programs or incentives are being prepared to maintain community member engagement?** 

**Mike:** So of course, we'll continue to host AMAs and events for the community to earn NFTs. We just recently launched version three of the Uplink community NFT. Shout out to Nuno, by the way. He’s our a graphic designer. All three of the NFT designs he's produced have been pretty awesome.

And on the actual business side of things, we intend on launching a referral program for enterprise supply and demand. We want the community to very much be part of the process. However, before that begins, we'll need the initial partnerships to be live. So that's what we're looking at right now. I understand it's a lot of “We're building the marketplace right now,” but that's where we are and after that we'll have space for hopefully a lot more.

**Claudia:** Next question, Mike: **How can community members directly contribute to the development of this project?**

**Mike:** Share the news, engage with others in the community who may be newer. Share Uplink content on Twitter; really short punchy stuff is always helpful. And of course just be patient with us. I know that it's been a pretty slow development cycle. That's often how things are. We started off with the intention of doing one particular thing and then ended up adding five or six or seven different things on top of that. So this has just grown to be a much larger undertaking and a much more expansive undertaking than we had expected. So we appreciate your patience. We are doing our best to get this thing fully to market. We've got a great team and they're hard at work every day.

**Claudia:** Yeah. We're team no-sleep right now. So trust me, if there's anything more we could possibly do, we would be doing it. But I mean, so far we're hitting all of our goals. I wish a lot more of those goals were more community oriented. We did start with community first. Now we're very product first, but essentially it's all about connecting those two parts together and that's what the end of Phase 2 and Phase 3 are about. We're in the middle of the most impactful stage right now and the success of this is going to make everything else super successful and that's kind of the most important thing. The next one is also for you, Mike: **What is the team's strategy for expanding the reach of the Uplink community to a wider global market?**

**Mike:** This is a twofold question. If we're talking about expanding the reach on the community side, then definitely social media presence. Our ambassadors are very helpful with that. And on the wider global market side with business relationships, of course. That's down to our BD team, who as we've said have a lot of long-term relationships already with major players in the telecom industry.

All right. Because we only have about 20 minutes here and we've got some pretty deep tech questions here that I know you'd like to put time into, I'm just going to knock out the rest of the community questions.

**Will community members have a chance to earn the V3 NFT?** Absolutely. Somebody actually brought up the great idea of having a World Cup-centered contest, so we'll launch that next week or the week after. \
\
Next one: **Since the new phase hasn't started yet, can I still continue adding Wi-Fi nodes to support the project and also position myself early for the next phase?** All registered routers, once converted to verified routers, will be earning once we begin the process to convert community routers, which will come in the next phase.

The next question: **For Wi-Fi routers I added after March 12th, will they still be counted in terms of points?** The points system is concluded. Points could only be earned during Phase 1, which ended on March 12th. You can add them and have them prepped for conversion to verified routers. That's the benefit for continuing to register routers. But there will be no future stages of the points program. \
\
Next one: **What is your message of encouragement to all the early supporters who are building this decentralized future with you?** So I would say first off, thank you for not only everything that you've done on the side of registering routers and helping us prove that connectivity can be crowdsourced, but also just for your support and encouragement. It really means a lot to us and really means a lot to the team to know that you're behind us. And of course, also as I mentioned at the beginning of the AMA, for everything you do to spread the word about Uplink on social media and also for those who are very involved in the community.

So thank you so much. And again, we're looking forward to continuing to have you with us when we're able to share all these really big things with you.

So, onto some tech stuff. And again, these are great questions. Claudia, **how does the settlement layer handle real-time microtransactions at scale without causing network congestion or high gas fees when thousands of nodes are offloading traffic simultaneously?**

**Claudia:** Right. And this is actually a great question because it's a huge problem in our industry right now and for DePIN projects in particular. Our settlement layer doesn't try to put every byte of offload traffic onchain. It actually separates session metering from settlement and it runs on infrastructure tuned exactly through this throughput profile. Real-time metering actually happens on the RADIUS/Passpoint layer. The telecom industry already does this really well. So the chain itself actually handles settlement of aggregated reconciled sessions on dedicated infrastructure with predictable economics. We aggregate all of this data and then we put that onchain. So it lessens the load that's actually happening and we deliberately decouple these two so that it makes it scale a lot faster. And that's really the only way to do this in a successful way without really adding to, like you said, high gas fees, thousands of nodes of offload traffic, etc.

There's a lot on the Avalanche side itself since we are on an L1 on Avalanche. That helps facilitate this no gas fees, like having our own gas token, not having to compete with other NFT projects or tokens for gas fees, etc. So there's a lot of benefits from that alone, but just on our side and how we're implementing things, this is what we're doing to actually solve that congestion of traffic.

**Mike:** Yeah. These are great tech questions. So Claudia, **how does the Uplink protocol ensure end-to-end data privacy and secure routing at the gateway layer when traffic is offloaded from major MNOs through decentralized neutral host routers?**

**Claudia:** Yeah. So I'm going to go a little more telecommunication-y on you guys, but decentralization actually happens on the commercial and physical layer. So who owns the router and who gets paid? The security model that we have is the same federated PKI-anchored stack that the Wi-Fi industry already trusts for OpenRoaming. So we didn't reinvent this. It's because of these crypto companies that are reinventing this for telecom, that's when you get into CVEs, or Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures. So we're not reinventing the wheel. We're using the industry standards that are already out there. We're working with them and that gives us that security layer that we don't need to worry about, essentially. And then we just operate the commercial and physical layer. So yeah, it seems a lot more complicated than it is, but it's simple if you're more aware of telecommunications and we're going to get you guys up to speed on everything from the basics and more as we go.

**Mike:** Yeah. Definitely something to look into in terms of creating a sort of telecom 101 framework. Yeah.

**Claudia:** And we're here to answer all questions. There are some more simple, basic questions, but there are also the more complex ones. I love these questions, but if you guys don't understand, we're still going to help simplify these out for you guys with materials on our Twitter and on our Discord. So just make sure to be following all the right channels and we'll get you guys up to speed on understanding what we're building and the impact and everything. The next question is for you, Mike: **Given the current ecosystem developments, what are the most crucial new features the team is prioritizing to increase the platform's utility for everyday users?**

**Mike:** So for everyday users right now, it's just access to free internet on the app. Right now, we are very focused on the marketplace. There are a lot of verticals with unique setups for onboarding. So we're just building out the self-service part of the platform to be very hands off for these assets. After we're in Phase 3, past the enterprise supply-demand matching stage, at that point we can move on to the process of converting registered routers to verified routers.

Next question: **For areas with poor local internet infrastructure, does Uplink provide a minimum bandwidth limit to ensure the quality of the Wi-Fi shared by hosts remains up to enterprise standards?**

**Claudia:** Yes, because all of these corporations we are working with, they do have a quality bar that needs to be hit. This is all set by the enterprise demand. It's been enforced through smart routing and incentives rather than hard cutoffs. So it's not essentially like if you are in a bad area, you're not going to be rewarded, but we are going to continue to upgrade this whole process with the community. There's going to constantly be new ways to enhance our connection to get the most out of the ecosystem and the marketplace, and we will share that information. Right now we're live, we have the deals, we're getting the ecosystem really developed, then it's getting the community involved, the tokenomics, and then it's perfecting as we go, and that’s going to be a constant process.

The next question's also for me, so I'm just going to read it: **What encryption and data security protocols does Uplink implement to ensure critical enterprise data traffic remains secure and private when offloaded to community-based Wi-Fi networks?** This is similar to the gateway question we had before. Enterprise traffic on Uplink is protected by the same standards-based encryption stack that's used in OpenRoaming and used in the Wi-Fi industry for carrier offload today. That's why we are both IDP and ANP certified, so that we can do this with the marketplace. There’s no community host.

Let's say you're using a router that's provided by a community member. You're never ever going to see that user's identity. It's the same thing with actual Wi-Fi. You're just going to see the name of that internet connection. It's not actually going to tell you where it is or how much data they have or how much they pay. None of that information. We're all about anonymity here. It's just about solving the core commercial issues, the core coordination issues, and not having to do a million agreements to settle bills that take weeks. Instead, you can do it automatically. We're solving a major issue for the telecom industry and also keeping up the standards that we already have in the Wi-Fi industry. And we have been tested on those standards, not only with certification with the WBA, but also we viatwo years of due diligence with the Fortune 500 company that we work with. So yeah, we're super secure.

Next question for you, Mike: **How does the dynamic pricing mechanism work in the Uplink market and what factors ensure that prices remain competitive with traditional telecommunications operators?**

**Mike:** This is a big one. I'm glad you asked. Pricing in the Uplink Marketplace adjusts dynamically based on local supply and demand, network quality and session context. So there's no fixed rate card. And of course, as we've been stressing on social media, there are no bilateral negotiations. It always stays competitive with traditional telcos because the cost base is structurally lighter. There's community-owned supply, automated settlement instead of weeks-long reconciliation processes, no legacy CapEx/OpEx (capital expenditure/operating expenditure). More specifics on the core pricing model will be shared later on. This does get very complex. I'm really glad that people are asking questions like this, but yeah, in terms of telecom knowledge overhead, answers like this have quite a bit.

**Claudia:** The entire pricing model is figured out, but we're holding off on implementing it. We're allowing our founding partners to have a little bit of a benefit of coming in early. So it's a different pricing model right now than it's going to be in maybe a month or two. The next question is for you, Mike: **Currently, we're already approaching the second half of 2026. Is the TGE target still set for the first half of 2026 or has the timeline changed?**

**Mike:** Yes. So as people probably have already surmised, given that we're at the end of May, we're going to be shifting our projection away from early 2026. TGE timing has always been contingent on the development of Phase 2, as we noted in the updated roadmap. So Phase 3 would involve token launch. We’re still currently in Phase 2, as we're working on enterprise demand matching with supply, partnerships, and so on. Until these are complete, we're just still in Phase 2. And so due to this, we're going to be changing the language around TGE. It's just that it's going to be happening during Phase 3. Uplink is currently in Phase 2.

Speaking generally, TGE timelines are inherently uncertain. A lot of you have been in Web3 for a long time, and you’ve seen it. They depend upon market conditions, they depend upon development timelines, they depend upon internal economics and so on. And it's critical that all these things align so that the TGE is as successful as possible. And that's not only for the project, not only for its members, but also for the community, both in the short and in the long term. TGE will come when it's ready, and there are a lot of moving parts that go into that. We really appreciate your patience and we intend on it happening and we intend on it happening in a way that's going to work in the best possible way for everybody involved. We know that this is a big thing for all of you. It makes perfect sense. You have contributed in terms of registering routers and making referrals, and we're very appreciative of that. And as we've always said, we intend to recognize community contributions and we know of course that anybody in your position would want to know when is TGE happening.

**Claudia:** Another question for you, **Mike: how will the conversion from Uplink points to tokens be decided?**

**Mike:** As we’ve noted, the answer to this, both for us and for any other project in our position, is always going to remain the same: For legal and compliance reasons, we cannot discuss potential token distribution, conversion mechanics, or airdrop details at this stage. It's not that we don't want to, it’s that any project cannot share such details until closer to TGE without risking legal consequences. Nobody wants to see that. This is just legal realities of a token launch.

**Claudia:** Last question: **What can you share about the tokenomics?** 

**Mike:** Tokenomics will be revealed closer to TGE with the whitepaper. And the final question: How is the cleanup of fake routers going? We've got a system developed and in place. The actual changes to points won't be reflected on the app. They will be reflected in any potential rewards given out at TGE. Any fraudulent routers will be excluded from those calculations. We'll share details on this with an updated roadmap as soon as we can, but yeah, the data is there. We have already identified all this and again, there's no rush. It will be done when it is relevant. And I think that's all of the questions we received.

**Claudia:** Yeah. So thank you guys so much for attending, for being supportive and being patient with us during this time. I know that you can't actually see the full fruits of all this labor quite yet, but there is a lot that's coming this year. It's going to take a more time than we intended, but we're building a real product here. We have real deals coming in. We already have deals that are generating revenue, which is very exciting, and we have had a ton of positive feedback. Like Mike said, we are talking to over 20 companies. Those are large entities. We're talking millions in data offload supply. There's a lot that's happening. It's a very exciting time and we’re excited to share more with you. Thank you all for your support, as always!

**Mike:** Yeah, well said. All right, ladies and gentlemen, thank you again so much for attending. Your questions were great, and we had an awesome time answering them. We’ll look forward to seeing you in the next AMA. As always in the interim, if you ever have questions, thoughts, concerns, or just want to chat, please reach out. I'm always available. Be well. We'll see you next time.

**Claudia:** Stay connected, guys. Bye.\
