Your presence is valuable
Our idea
In mordern cities we are constantly surrounded by strangers. We cannot communicate with these strangers, because we do not know their interests and cannot assess their trustworthiness. Way Network bridges this information gap. Using blockchain technology, we incentivize users to share information with their local surrounding, to initiate interactions with new people, and to leave signals for other users to review.
In contrast to existing local social networks, Way is decentralized. Personal data is fully owned by the user and the attracted attention is monetized by a community of token holders, rather than by an intermediary company.
As the internet merges with the real world, an increasing part of the human experience is controlled by corporate giants. Way fights back.
