Gaining Momentum

Wayru Network is a legitimate DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) project established around 2021, aiming to decentralize internet access. External verification confirms a $1.96M seed round led by Borderless Capital in 2022 and active hardware development. However, the submission itself contains hyperbolic and inaccurate claims (e.g., audience reach: 'everyone', traction: 'most people have used my product'), which severely impacts the Audience Reach and Response Quality scores. While the technical concept and market timing are strong, actual verifiable user adoption remains in the early/niche stage (likely <1,000 active nodes) compared to the submission's claims.
