World Mobile Launches on Base to Expand Global Web3 Wireless Network
London, United Kingdom, September 30th, 2024, Chainwire - World Mobile, the leading global web3 wireless network, has announced the launch of its blockchain infrastructure on Base. This strategic move will integrate World Mobile's Layer 3 blockchain, World Mobile Chain (WMC), with Base's Ethereum-based Layer 2 blockchain, utilizing Base as its settlement layer. The incorporation of the Coinbase Smart Wallet into the World Mobile app will enhance the onboarding process for new onchain users.
By joining Base, World Mobile is poised to advance its goal of establishing one of the most extensive Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) globally. The recent introduction of 'triple play' services by the World Mobile network, covering cellular, broadband, and value-added services, complements its launch on Base and EVM blockchains.
The decision to launch on Base follows a year of remarkable accomplishments for the World Mobile network, including the commercial network services rollout across three continents and a pioneering aerostat deployment in Mozambique in partnership with Vodacom and the GSMA. Moreover, the rapid sell-out of the first batch of decentralized wireless network infrastructure nodes (AirNodes) within 36 hours and achieving 100,000 daily active users mark significant milestones for World Mobile.
Micky Watkins, CEO of World Mobile Group, emphasized the significance of launching on Base, stating that it represents a monumental step forward for the company. By leveraging the strengths of both entities, World Mobile aims to drive growth and innovation within its network. Zachary Vann, Head of Token at World Mobile Token, highlighted the commitment to constructing a premier DePIN network on blockchain by collaborating with Base.
The launch of World Mobile on Base underscores the growing importance of DePIN networks and the shift towards decentralized and resilient infrastructure. This model enables users to be an integral part of the network fabric, facilitating connectivity in underserved regions and ensuring access to essential digital services.
World Mobile's innovative approach to decentralized wireless networks, along with the successful deployment of AirNodes and triple play services, positions the company at the forefront of the transformative movement. The launch will go live on September 30, 2024, reinforcing World Mobile's vision of global connectivity for everyone.
In conclusion, World Mobile's partnership with Base signifies a significant step towards democratizing global connectivity through decentralized infrastructure. This advancement not only represents technological progress but also brings us closer to bridging the digital divide, ensuring that everyone, everywhere, is connected.
