Big Wireless built empires on a simple formula: sign up subscribers, lock them in, extract value. Operators at the top, users at the bottom. None of the wealth flows back to the people who built the network or filled it with customers.
Last week, we launched the new World Mobile phone plans, with clearer pricing, smarter structure, and a goal to serve real usage while strengthening the economic engine behind every Hex.
Today, we take the next step forward.
We’re launching the Network Builder affiliate program, providing a direct link between the work you do growing the network and the rewards you earn for doing it. Together, the new phone plans and the affiliate model form the foundation for Hex Operators to expand coverage inside their Hexes, activate real demand, and earn based on sustained network adoption.
This is the evolution of a referral program: a structured growth engine, built for Hex Operators and community members who are serious about turning infrastructure into impact.
From Refer & Earn to Network Growth Architecture
Refer & Earn proved the model: people who believe in a better network will share it. World Mobile community members did exactly that, introducing friends and family to World Mobile phone plans and earning rewards in return.
But organic sharing isn't enough to scale a decentralized network. As Hex Operators win auctions and take ownership of geographic territory, subscriber activation becomes the next critical mission. A Hex without subscribers is infrastructure waiting for its purpose.
The Network Builder Affiliate Program changes that equation. It gives Hex Operators a defined, measurable pathway to drive subscriber growth within their Hex, with rewards that compound as those subscribers stay active.
This is what structured network growth looks like.
A Commission Model Built for Retention, Not Just Acquisition
Most telecom affiliate programs are transactional. Refer a subscriber, collect a commission, done. The incentive ends the moment the sale is made, which is exactly why Big Wireless has no structural reason to keep subscribers happy.
The Network Builder Affiliate Program works differently. Rewards are milestone-based, released as subscribers remain active over time. That alignment matters: when affiliates earn more from retained subscribers, everyone in the system - the affiliate, the Hex Operator, the network - benefits from genuine, long-term adoption.
Affiliates can participate across three subscriber models:
12-Month Upfront: Three milestone payments. Maximum total commission per subscriber. Best for affiliates focused on committing subscribers who are ready to go all-in.
6-Month Upfront: Two milestone payments. Strong returns with a shorter commitment horizon.
Rolling Monthly: Two milestone payments earned from a rolling monthly subscription from subscribers.
Why This Matters for the Network's Growth
Every active subscriber within a Hex does three things simultaneously: it validates the Hex Operator's investment, it strengthens the case for continued infrastructure expansion, and it drives real usage on World Mobile Chain.
That's the loop this program is designed to accelerate.
Decentralized infrastructure establishes the foundation. Subscriber activation proves the demand. Sustained retention compounds its value across every Hex, and across the entire network.
The Hex Operators who win at the Network Builder stage are building businesses. The affiliate program gives them one of the most powerful tools for doing that: a growth mechanism aligned with the same incentives that make the network stronger.
Build the network. Drive adoption. Earn your share in the future of connectivity.
The Network Builder Affiliate Program is live now. Whether you're deep into your Hex Operator strategy or exploring your first Network Builder auction, subscriber growth is your next move.
