Important Update: Wayru Systems Shutdown Today, we officially wind down our operations. As of now, Wayru’s internal systems will cease to function. However, our commitment to an open and connected world remains. To ensure our work lives on, we are sharing the complete INDEX of our technical developments. In the link below, you will find information for every project, along with its respective GitHub repository for deployment: quilled-wilderness-888.notio… We want our hardware to stay out of landfills and in the hands of the community. We have included manuals in both English and Spanish to help you: - Convert existing equipment to OpenWRT. - Transition units to Passpoint to integrate them into other networks like WayFi, Orion, or Helium. Special thanks to the @WayFiWireless team for kindly sharing a manual on configuring Passpoint on any unit running OpenWRT. Please note: Technical support will not be available following this announcement. To everyone who was part of this project and our incredible community: thank you for being part of this journey.

Today, we share a difficult update: Wayru Inc. and the Wayru Foundation will cease operations by the end of this year. We started with the dream of democratizing internet access through decentralization, and while we achieved monumental milestones, the reality of the startup ecosystem is challenging. Despite our best efforts to scale and monetize our technology, we did not achieve sustainable Product-Market Fit or the funding needed to continue competing in the current landscape. Our priority now is to honor the work accomplished and the community that stood by us. To ensure our vision endures, we are making the following transitions: • Open Source Legacy: We refuse to let years of innovation vanish. We are organizing our technology for public release on GitHub, allowing the Wayru vision to live on through other builders in the ecosystem. • Hardware and Social Impact: We are committed to ensuring our hardware does not end up as e-waste. We are evaluating options to repurpose existing devices for projects like Orion and/or Helium. Furthermore, all equipment currently in our warehouse will be donated to provide free connectivity in low-income neighborhoods. • Operations Wind-down: Our networks and platforms will progressively enter inactivity starting today. The main platform will officially shut down on December 30th, 2025. Manuals for firmware updates and hardware repurposing will be published through this account in the coming weeks. To everyone who deployed a hotspot, believed in open connectivity, and joined us on this adventure: Thank you. We may not have reached our final destination, but the journey was worth it because of the community we built together. With deep gratitude, The Wayru Team ✊

🌍 Local operators are becoming the bridge over the digital divide. With Wayru’s BYOD model, anyone can turn affordable routers (MikroTik, TP-Link, Ubiquiti) — into access points. 💫 Users connect for free or with micro-recharges. 💸 Operators earn wUBI & wUPI from usage. 💪 Communities gain power. Accessible, sustainable and decentralized. 💡 Wayru is building a transparent & open network where everyone can connect.

What’s Offloading? 📡 Offloading is the process of diverting cellular network traffic to alternative networks — reducing pressure on traditional infrastructure while improving overall connectivity. Now, here’s where Wayru gets interesting 👇 We use intelligent Wi-Fi offloading, a far more advanced process than simple roaming. ⚙️ Here’s how it works: when a user enters an area covered by a Wayru Hotspot, their device automatically and seamlessly switches from 4G/5G data to the decentralized Wayru Wi-Fi network. ✨ It’s a zero-click handover — no need to select networks or enter passwords. Users just experience faster, more stable internet. 🔒 All of this is powered by WBA OpenRoaming, ensuring every connection is secure, encrypted, and enterprise-grade. 🌍 Wayru acts as a neutral offload network, helping carriers: Expand coverage without building new towers 🏗️ Reduce costs 💰 Improve user experience ⚡ They simply pay a usage-based fee for the offloaded data — while the community that powers the network earns rewards. Offloading is a better connectivity for users, lower costs for Telcos, and more opportunities for local operators. 💚
