Isizwe is connecting a billion people to the Internet. This real-world application of blockchain technology to deliver internet access as a basic need starts with the Isizwe Token Generation Event (TGE)
Fast, uncapped, and affordable internet should be a basic human right. Isizwe provides fibre to the home and access to a fibre-connected public WiFi cloud across the entire township.
Isizwe Token enables brands to run campaigns on the network to understand this ever-widening and previously inaccessible market.
Funds received from campaigns are directed into the Future Growth fund. This fund is used to pay yield to stakers and to deploy further networks.
People living in emerging markets understand the potential of crypto and web3 to change lives. Their appetite is driven by their need to solve real-world, everyday problems. Connecting them to the internet is the first step in making this a reality.
Isizwe is a marquee case study to demonstrate how practical, everyday, utilitarian problems - like the delivery of internet access in emerging markets - can be solved with the adoption of a crypto-centric mindset.
Plans and milestones:
Isizwe funds the deployment of fibre internet infrastructure in underserved communities in emerging markets.
Isizwe uses VulaCoin – a Solana-based wallet and stable coin pinned to internet time – to facilitate network access and micro pay-as-you-go transactions
Isizwe has partnered with infrastructure providers with proven methods for deploying fibre at affordable prices ($0.34 cents per day per user)
Isizwe provides publishers with access to emerging markets and the ability to run advertising campaigns on the Isizwe network using Isizwe Token. They gain access to a previously inaccessible audience: consumers experiencing fast and uncapped internet on a sustainable basis for the first time
All advertising proceeds are redirected to the Isizwe token holders that have staked their tokens, thus creating a circular economy of value creation and wealth distribution.
Nearly 4 billion people do not have access to the internet. This represents a massive total addressable market.
Not only are we connecting people, but we’re giving media publishers access to them via advertisements.
Brands are under pressure to innovate and find cheaper methods of reaching this enormous audience.
The highest growth in key audience segments is found in informal markets.
