### Building the Future of Connectivity

In the evolving landscape of wireless connectivity, deploying XNET hotspots offers individuals and organizations an opportunity to contribute to a decentralized network while earning rewards. Join our [community](https://discord.gg/xnet) to learn more!&#x20;

### Understanding DePIN: The Backbone of XNET

**Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN)** represent a paradigm shift in how infrastructure is built and maintained. Unlike traditional models dominated by centralized entities, DePIN leverages blockchain technology to incentivizes community participation in deploying physical infrastructure.

In the context of XNET

* **Community-Driven Deployment**: Individuals and businesses deploy WiFi hotspots, expanding network coverage without centralized control.
* **Token Incentivization**: Participants earn $XNET tokens for contributing to network growth and reliability.
* **Transparent Operations**: Blockchain ensures transparent tracking of contributions and fair distribution of rewards.

This model democratizes infrastructure development, allowing widespread participation and fostering rapid network expansion.

### Why Solana?

XNET operates on the [**Solana**](https://solana.com/) blockchain

* **High Throughput**: Capable of processing over 2,000 transactions per second, ensuring scalability.
* **Low Transaction Costs**: Minimal fees make micro-transactions feasible, essential for reward distribution and node validation.
* **Fast Finality**: Transactions are confirmed in sub-second times, providing almost real-time updates and interactions with the network.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://xnet-mobile.gitbook.io/xnet-mobile-docs/deploy-connect-earn/join-the-xnet-army.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
