Qlink is aiming to build the world’s first decentralized mobile network, blending blockchain with telecommunication infrastructure to enable new solutions to old problems, including security and inflexible plans. Qlink ushers in a new era of telecom technology, which will fundamentally change the way that users purchase mobile services, as well providing new opportunities for content distributors to reach consumers in ways that previously were not possible. Qlink will also enable the P2P sharing of digital assets such as Wi-Fi hotspots, data and SMS packages, creating a flexible ecosystem where the telecom industry players can operate in a user driven way and new business models are encouraged.

The Qlink platform adopts a dual blockchain architecture. Digital assets will be registered to the NEO blockchain, whilst content and billing information will be registered to the Qlink chain, which is a dedicated chain for the telecom industry being co-developed by Qlink and Onchain. The chains will communicate through a cross chain protocol.

Qlink is founded by Allen Li, a former Huawei Wireless engineer who also founded Youyou Mobile. Youyou Mobile is a data distribution company that generates USD$20 million annually, partners with over 40 global network operators and has over 6 million users. The core development team responsible for the success of Youyou Mobile is also the same team developing Qlink.

Allen Li says: “The fusion of blockchain technology and mobile networking will allow Qlink to release great potential for the society from telecom services. Telecom is not a stand-alone industry but the communication infrastructure for every vertical industry and for every aspect of our life. By decentralizing telecom, we believe the communication efficiency will grow exponentially. “

Users will be able to register digital assets such as Wi-Fi hotspots and SMS packages to the blockchain, create their own billing terms through the Qlink app, and then sell access to other users or enterprise customers through smart contracts.

Content owners can also register content to the Qlink chain and bundle it with mobile data. This would allow streaming companies like Netflix or Hulu to add data sponsorship to their subscription packages, meaning users could access content without requiring mobile data consumption. This would also allow advertisers to incentivise viewing of sponsored content by distributing QLC tokens in exchange for user attention.

Qlink is also launching the Qlink BaseStation, which is a vehicle mounted hardware device that will allow every user to contribute to 4G network coverage while enjoying the connected car services. All these functions combine to create a truly decentralized mobile network.

Qlink’s crowd sale will be running on the NEO platform, with KYC and pre-sale currently open. Qlink are accepting both ETH and NEO during the pre-sale phase with a 10% bonus. 240,000,000 QLC tokens available during the token sale with a hard cap of USD$15,000,000.
