The#DEPINtrack is one of the core narratives of the 2023-2025 cycle. In the#DePinresearch report and 2024 annual outlook released by @MessariCrypto not long ago, a project was mentioned at the same time: @metablox. Today we will talk in detail about why it attracted the attention of professional investment research institution #Messari!

The good news is that it has not issued coins yet. The Q1 airdrop is currently available for free. The airdrop tutorial is at the end of the article!

Messari listed 4 projects in the entire#DEPINWIFI network, only @metablox we are optimistic about!

#Wayru,#Wicryptmainly builds wireless networks in poor areas of the third world. The community is small and is just looking for supply chain support in China. The business model is old: WiFi payment model, nothing new.

#WiFimap has the largest number of users, but its functions are similar to the overseas version of 3.60 Master Key, without hardware device support, and the team lacks web3 operation experience.


@metablox aims to break the boundaries of traditional WiFi networks and build a seamless global WiFi roaming network. It is based on native Web3 technologies such as DID (decentralized identification) and VC (verifiable credentials), so that users do not need to log in and reconnect repeatedly You can access different WiFi.

This innovative technology eliminates the cumbersome steps caused by WiFi connection in life, making the connection simple and fast. At the same time, it provides a novel mining mechanism and diversified application scenarios!


WBA recognized members (only 11 companies)

WBA (Global Wireless Broadband Alliance) is the global WiFi standard-setting organization and plays an important role in the field of wireless communications. @metablox is one of the 11 OpenRoaming (Wifi protocol standard) ID providers recognized by WBA and the only Web3 subject. The other members are Boingo, Cisco and other traditional well-known companies.

Metablox users can use 50,000+ own nodes with one click, and can also use 3 million+ alliance nodes.

Mature projects with wide coverage

The project has been developed for two years. The main members of the team are located in Canada. The seed round was led by Synergis, a well-known North American institution, with participation from Depinlabs, Collab and other institutions.

The network covers 100+ countries, deploys more than 54,000+ WiFi network nodes, has 15,000+ APP users, and has high community activity. Currently, 447,000 mPoints have been burned (accounting for 25% of the total circulation)

core advantages

- DIDs and VCs: MetaBlox’s decentralized identification and verifiable credentials provide users with a safe and reliable connection method. Through this technology, you can verify your identity in any WiFi network that supports WBA OpenRoaming and MetaBlox self-built nodes , whether it is a shop, restaurant or public area.


- Global WiFi roaming network: The network covers 100+ countries and has more than 54,000+ nodes. The superimposed support for WBA OpenRoaming is 3 million WiFi nodes around the world. The subsequent continuous expansion of the project allows you to connect to WiFi at any time around the world. This means you can easily get a stable connection no matter where you are.

- New mining mechanism: combination of software and hardware mining

Users can download the official APP for free, and through sharing + check-in mining, users can contribute to project construction and community activity by adding public WiFi or checking in every day, thereby receiving mPoints rewards.

At the same time, GEN1 OG mining machine and GEN2 volcano series WiFi router mining machine were also launched. While using the safe WIFI network, you can also benefit from mining. The first batch has been sold out and can be pre-ordered on the official website.

Application scenarios


-Check-in-to-earn: The simplest mining method, users obtain rewards by verifying the status of network nodes and generating appropriate user data. Every time they pass through the mall, click the button to obtain mPoints.

-Connect-to-convert: Connect to the network, MetaBlox can convert ordinary network users into web3 users. This identity change allows users to achieve a circle-breaking effect while using free WiFi services.


-Location-based-socialfi: Social gameplay based on geographical location helps the development of MetaBlox ecology and community, and promotes the generation of more user data. You can consume mPoints to participate in different social activities and obtain corresponding rewards.

-Infra-as-a-service: This service can provide edge computing or information services to other project parties, such as network rental or geographical advertising services, bringing real benefits to MetaBlox users


Economic model:

mPoints are current points, which can be converted into governance tokens in proportion in the future. mPoints can be obtained by contributing to network nodes, purchasing or redeeming by merchants, and can be used to settle services within the ecosystem.

MetaBlox NFT is issued by the foundation and can be bound to mining equipment. It has the same properties as physical hardware. Staking NFT can obtain mPoints rewards and give the community status.

Governance tokens will be used for decentralized governance and payment


Airdrop plan:

MetaBlox will issue governance tokens in Q1, and will hold a Lunar New Year token airdrop event from February 6th to February 26th, Beijing time!

You only need to meet three conditions to participate in the token airdrop:
1. Add two wifi hotspots.
2. Invite two people to register.
3. Sign in 5 times.
