### 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.
