Design of the Network Economy for World Mobile Chain
A network is more than towers and signals. It’s people contributing time, energy, and resources. For that to work, the economics have to be clear and fair. Everyone needs to know how value moves, how rewards are earned, and how the system stays balanced as it grows.
That’s where 01X comes in. Their role is to shape the economic design so World Mobile can scale with trust, resilience, and fairness built in from the start.
A network economy should be simple to understand, fair to participate in, and hard to game.
Why World Mobile needs thoughtful economic design
World Mobile runs on a shared model where many roles contribute, and each shares in the value they help create.
- Customers pay for their mobile subscription and related services
- AirNodes bring coverage to homes, shops, and neighborhoods
- EarthNodes keep the service layer running, verify usage, and earn rewards based on uptime and performance
- Network Builders coordinate their hex, bringing in subscribers, Hosts, and AirNode operators
- Affiliates earn for introducing new customers to the network
- Token holders stake through different programs, adding liquidity and supporting rewards
- World Mobile Group maintains an operational fund to drive growth and development
- Blockchain apps built on WMC pay transaction fees and often lock tokens as part of their use
- World Mobile Chain ties it all together by recording activity, settling payments, and distributing rewards in WMTx
How value moves
- Subscribers pay for service in local currency
- The system records usage, covers costs, and calculates rewards on-chain
- WMTx flows to the operators and contributors who keep the network running
On paper it looks simple, but it takes careful design. The bridge between local payments and on-chain rewards must be fair. Most of all, it has to keep incentives aligned with what matters: real usage and reliable service.
Enter 01X
01X is a consulting firm that specializes in economic design. With World Mobile, their work is to turn principles into practical rules that keep the system balanced and ready to grow.
What this means in practice
- Set clear rules for how rewards are shared between all operators and participants
- Create incentives that make it worthwhile to deploy devices where coverage is most needed
- Adjust pricing and fees to fit local conditions, whether in the U.S. or in Pakistan
The aim isn’t a rigid formula, but a living system. When designed well, the incentives act like gravity, gently pulling the network toward the right outcomes, so that building, maintaining, and connecting become the easiest and most rewarding choices.
Bottom line
World Mobile is proving that telecom can be built differently. By aligning customers, operators, builders, and token holders under one clear system, the network can expand where it’s needed most and reward the people who keep it alive.
With 01X shaping the rules, the vision is clear: a network economy that stays fair, adapts with resilience, and grows stronger with every connection added.
