Nowadays, mobile network is definitely one of the most important elements in our lives. We are heavily relying on WiFi, 4G and 5G in the near future. When you go to a coffee shop, a restaurant, or any place you would like to take a break and stay for a while, you always ask “Is there WiFi access here?”.
However, WiFi, as well as 4G, bring us a huge amount of network resource surplus at the current stage, including idle data, connected devices and internet contents.
High capacity and low network responding time creates the technical challenge of broader network coverage. As a result, WiFi network and 4G network will co-exist and stay supplemental in the world. So far, many network operators offer large data packages, which means every user accumulates more and more data that generates a data consumer surplus and they are very likely to have unused data at the end of the billing cycle.
Since many of network operators do not roll over the data service, unused data become a waste.
From the network operator’s perspective, in order to cover the investment of network infrastructure as soon as possible, they have the incentive to bundle different kinds of services to maximize their total revenue, which tends to lead to to a lot of unused network resources, thus waste. Meanwhile, the centralized operations provided by network operators also create a concern of network security, although the situation is improving since more and more network operators provide services by sharing or leasing network resources.
Qlink enables users to become network operators by sharing network resources and to benefit from it. This is the micro network operator model empowered by the QLC Chain: improve the network utilization efficiency and the communication security.
The micro network operator model encourages every user to participate and monetize network assets.
WinQ, the first dApp developed by Qlink, focusses on WiFi & VPN sharing and creatively allows users to operate anonymous chat rooms on top of shared assets.
Here is how it works:
Launching this feature, Qlink will construct the first decentralized mobile network in the world and reward people who share network assets.
With the introduction of 5G soon to come, the reduced cost per MB will further spark the rewards.
Qlink is the enabling all kinds of mobility resource sharing applications, the current dApp is not limited to WiFi sharing. All network service related application can be run on Qlink’s public chain: QLC Chain. If you are interested to become one of the micro network operators and start earning, make sure you continue reading this post.
The structure of QLC Chain
QLC Chain contains three modules: consensus module, virtual machine module and network transmission module. QLC Chain also integrates with Linux operating systems,, providing an API for developpers to create dApps and enrich the ecosystem.
The QLC Chain will run a unique consensus model called the ‘ Shannon Consensus’. The goal of this algorithm is to maximize the network efficiency and enable it to become inherently anti-centralized.
The team devotes a lot of efforts to solve the drawback of centralized hashrate and centralized stake in POW and POS distributed consensus.

QLC Chain and Micro Services
Empowered by the QLC Chain gateway, powered by blockchain technology, network related micro services become available. This micro services can be used for enabling the sharing of WiFi, data, — network bandwidth, VOIP, storage, routing, CDN, SMS, etc.
The Structure of Micro Service Operator
Micro Service Operators on the QLC Chain will provide three main tasks:
Improve value and utilization by sharing network assets
Encourage interactive communication through Smart Contract based billing management and enhance network security because of tamper-proof and decentralized features in Blockchain Technology.
Reduce CapEx and OpEx and enable customization based on crowdsourcing operation in community and instant messaging.
How to become a Micro Service Operator on QLC Chain
Register your network asset, such as a WiFi network/VPN.
Set your price and activate the Smart Contract.
Enter the Micro Service Platform.
The QLC Chain enables you to operate a network service and benefit from it.
