Monthly Momentum: Uplink’s September Recap

September was a game-changing month for the Uplink ecosystem, and we’re excited to highlight the key milestones we've reached as we work to revolutionize connectivity through decentralized internet infrastructure (DePIN). From partnerships to platform upgrades, we’re laying the foundation for a future-proofed, global internet.

New Website Launch

‍

We’re excited to unveil our freshly redesigned website at uplink.xyz! Whether you're new to Telecommunication startups, DePIN, or Web3 or a seasoned enthusiast, this new site offers a sleek, intuitive interface that makes it easy to explore what we’re building in our mission to deliver a decentralized, internet ecosystem that is traction-first, enterprise-focused, and gamifying connectivity.

Litepaper Release

For those interested in a deeper dive into Uplink, we have published our Litepaper. It breaks down our long-term goals, the technical approach we're taking, and the significant role our blockchain-backed network will play in transforming telecommunications. This is essential reading for blockchain investors, telecom industry leaders, and anyone following the evolution of decentralized internet solutions.

We partnered with BonusBlock to Reward Users

This month we announced our partnership with BonusBlock.  Our community is at the heart of Uplink, and this program provides exciting incentives and reward mechanisms for those contributing to Uplink’s growth and evolution towards decentralized connectivity. Through this collaboration integrated directly into our entire platform users can now start earning by Pre-registering an account and router at a location they intend to provide connectivity in once the platform goes live.

Looking Ahead: Major Announcements at Avalanche Summit

As we’re writing this update, our Points and Referral System has launched for Uplinkers!

Points & Referral Dashboard Goes Live 🚀

To complement our rewards program, we launched the Points & Referral Dashboard. Here, users can track their earnings, complete missions, and refer others to pre-register in order to maximize their rewards (or xp) earned both on and off platform. The dashboard is a mirror into what we’re building at Uplink and how the community will earn rewards in the future once our network and token is live on the platform! This is an essential tool of transparency for our Uplink community members  (Uplinkers) to see how they’re being rewarded for their actions and for those looking to gain the most from their contributions to our decentralized ecosystem

As we close out September, we’re gearing up for the Avalanche Summit from October 16-18 in Buenos Aires. Here, CEO Carlos Lei will be speaking about “DePIN, DeWi, and Why” while also unveiling some major announcements… 👀

Ambassador Program Launch

We’re also full-launch on the Uplinker Ambassador Program launch. Applications (there have been so many - so thank you!!) are ongoing, so feel free to apply. We’ll be onboarding our first set of Ambassadors this week!

 We’re looking for members in our community to help in our virtual world (community moderation, content creation, KOLs, designs, memes, etc), and our real-world impact (in-person events, SWAG, surge location activations). Each is equally important in growing our decentralized internet network and ecosystem, every router counts, plays an important role and our community members will be rewarded through their referrals and impact!  

We’re grateful for the incredible support from our community and partners— this is only the beginning and we can’t wait to show you what’s coming next with the Uplink App (coming soon)!

Stay Connected.
