What if we had a say in what happens on the network we use everyday, for calling, texting, streaming, browsing? What if we could not just be a "user" of the network that powers our lives, but a host as well? [**Karrier One**](https://karrier.one/) offers everybody a chance to build something of their own through our advanced telecom infrastructure. On the Karrier One network, users can be more than just a customer. The Karrier One network combines traditional telecommunications and new-age blockchain technology. We aim to create a community-owned, carrier-grade 5G network that offers improved accessibility, speed, cost-effectiveness, as well as security. Our goal is to decentralize wireless infrastructure and democratize telecommunications, becoming the global network. Through our custom blockchain, which uses smart contracts as our centerpiece of operations, everyone who holds our native KONE token has a say in what happens on the Karrier One network. Karrier One is premiering to be the world's first globally decentralized carrier-grade network. # Network summary Our decentralized telecommunications services harness blockchain technology. The architecture of our network model comprises three layers: * [**Foundational**](/network-faq/node-information/what-is-a-foundational-node) nodes - authentication and blockchain maintenance / modules * [**Gatekeeper**](/network-faq/node-information/what-is-a-gatekeeper-node) nodes - wireless access to end users * [**Operator**](/network-faq/node-information/what-is-an-operator-node) nodes - providing traditional telecommunications modules By incorporating an Sui blockchain into our architecture, our network allows for open accessibility of our telecommunications infrastructure through smart contracts. These smart contracts serve as portals for other decentralized wireless projects to build through the Karrier One network. At the core of our blockchain module is The [**Karrier DAO**](/token-faq/tokenomics/governance-and-dao), a decentralized autonomous organization that functions as the "brain" of the Karrier One network. The KONE DAO links different nodes together and manages network-wide communication. The Karrier DAO not only manages network quality metrics, but also democratizes decision-making through a model of liquid democracy. This structure allows for [**KONE token**](/token-faq/tokenomics/the-kone-token) holders to exchange their tokens for tickets, which can be used to cast votes on development proposals. Our [**Karrier Number System**](/network-faq/kns-digital-identity) (KNS) module enables users to connect their phone number to their web3 wallet, creating a secure and user-friendly digital ID. # Centralized vs Decentralized telecom ## What's the difference? Traditionally, telecommunications networks are centralized, controlled by a handful of operators that own the infrastructure. This structure often leads to monopolistic behaviour, lack of transparency, and slow innovation. With centralized telecom, if a single node or system fails, the rest of the network can experience large disruptions, similar to a game of [**Jenga**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenga). In contrast, the Karrier One network presents a decentralized telecom solution that rewrites how telecommunications functions. Through our blockchain architecture, this decentralized approach not only offers enhanced privacy and control for users, but also opens up the possibilities for other projects to develop and integrate their solutions onto the Karrier One network. Users on our network have a voice on the future of the network they use day-to-day. This system also increases system resilience by eliminating single points of failure. Each node in the network performs a distinct function, resulting in a more efficient and reliable service. Overall, decentralized telecommunications networks eliminates the central authority, giving more power to the users of the network and allowing for rapid innovation. # Karrier One & Competitors First, let's consider the traditional telecom landscape. Major Network Operators (MNOs) like AT\&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and others globally, have dominated the telecom industry for decades. They rely on vast, centralized infrastructure to provide communication services, and while they have been successful, they also suffer from several challenges such as: * Lack of competition in certain regions leading to higher prices for consumers. * Difficulty in reaching more remote areas with adequate service. * A lack of transparency in service provision, billing, and contract enforcement. * Centralized control and data ownership, which brings inherent security risks and privacy concerns. There are more than 1,000 MNOs across the world. But there is no "global" network, primarily for two reasons: 1. **Technical Limitations:** Each MNO's infrastructure is based on a specific set of standards and technologies that may not be compatible with those used by MNOs in other regions. This makes it difficult to create a seamless global network where a user could move from one region to another without any disruption in service. While roaming agreements between MNOs do allow for some level of global mobility, they are typically expensive for consumers and are not a true global solution. 2. **Regulatory Barriers:** Telecom is a highly regulated industry, with each country having its own set of rules and requirements for operators. This makes it challenging for an MNO to expand globally, as they would need to comply with the regulations in each country where they wish to operate. It's often more practical and cost-effective for them to focus on their home markets, where they understand the regulatory landscape and already have established infrastructure. ## This is where Karrier One, enters Large tech companies, such as Google, have attempted to create a "global" network, yet to no avail. Recently, Starlink has launched extremely innovative technology that coincides directly with Karrier One. We are not planning to rival services such as Starlink, as we can actually connect to Starlink through the Karrier One network. We take a different approach to "competing" with our competitors. Since we are more than just a mobile phone network, other decentralized wireless projects can build **on** the Karrier One network. We view ourselves as an integral part of the DeWi ecosystem, as a core enabler and platform for not just us, but the entire DeWi space to grow. We focus on how we can contribute to and leverage the larger ecosystem rather than confining ourselves to a zero-sum competitive mindset. By inviting other projects to build on our network, we create opportunities for cross-examination of ideas, technology, and infrastructure. The Karrier One network leads the way for exponential growth in decentralized telecommunications. # Remote community solutions Indigenous communities across the globe have showcased resilience, adaptation, and cultural preservation throughout history. Often, it is perceived that these communities are stuck in time or detached from modern civilization, but that couldn't be further from the truth. ## There's an odd paradox.. In remote Indigenous territories, one might find more people with smartphones than there are people with access to reliable internet services. This disconnection isn't due to lack of interest, but rather lack of infrastructure. Just as Africa saw an upsurge in prosperity with the advent of mobile banking, we believe that digital connectivity can revolutionize remote Indigenous communities around the world. ## The Karrier One solution Karrier One can enable individuals in remote communities to create connectivity where they need it, through [**Gatekeeper Nodes**](/network-faq/node-information/what-is-a-gatekeeper-node). Moreover, through our decentralized telco model, the power does not lie with a single provider that upcharges remote communities. The community members themselves can act as service providers, adding an element of autonomy and creating a revenue stream for remote communities as well. As of Q3 2023, [Karrier One has deployed at Canada's indigenous community in Osoyoos, British Columbia](https://twitter.com/karrier_one/status/1664407254068613126), as well as many more. {% embed url="" %} # Data Protection Privacy is a must, no matter the industry. ## Security for all Karrier One prioritizes your privacy above all else.

At the center of this model is the KONE token, which powers rewards, governance, and transactions within the Karrier One ecosystem. # The KONE Token ## KONE Token Utility KONE serves three primary functions: * **Earn:** Users earn KONE by installing and maintaining Karrier One DePIN devices that provide network coverage, handle data traffic, and meet quality of service benchmarks. * **Govern:** KONE acts as a governance token, enabling holders to participate in the Karrier DAO. Token holders can vote on proposals, stake tokens, or delegate their votes to trusted representatives. * **Spend:** Within the Karrier ecosystem, KONE is used for network fees, device transactions, service payments, and potentially even for decentralized applications (dApps) built on top of the network. This multi-functional use ensures KONE has both practical utility and intrinsic value within the Karrier One ecosystem. *** ## Token Allocation **Total Supply:** 3,000,000,000 KONE | Allocation | % of Supply | # of Tokens | Vesting Details | | ------------------------------ | ----------- | ------------- | ------------------------------ | | Device Rewards Pool | 40% | 1,200,000,000 | Distributed over 50 years | | Team | 15% | 450,000,000 | 1-year lock + 36-month vesting | | Governance & DAO Participation | 10% | 300,000,000 | Distributed over 50 years | | Community Growth & Marketing | 10% | 300,000,000 | No lock | | Reserve Fund | 7% | 210,000,000 | No lock | | Airdrop | 8% | 240,000,000 | No lock | | Seed | 5% | 150,000,000 | 1-year lock + 36-month vesting | | Advisors | 5% | 150,000,000 | 1-year lock + 36-month vesting | # Device Rewards & Bounty System ## DePIN Device Rewards Karrier One reserves 1.2 billion KONE to reward contributors over a 50-year period using an **exponentially decaying model** (3% annual reduction). **Year 1:** 40.4M KONE → **\~3.37M/month** #### How Users Earn: * **Uptime Rewards:** Based on device connectivity. * **Traffic Rewards:** Higher throughput = more tokens. * **Coverage Expansion:** Incentives for new or underserved areas. * **QoS Bonuses:** Low latency, high speed, and good user feedback. #### Contribution Score Formula: ``` Score = (Uptime × 5%) + (Traffic × 5%) + (Users × 5%) + (QoS × 5%) + (Location Bonus × 80%) ``` Rewards are proportional to a user's monthly Contribution Score. ## Bounty System To accelerate strategic network growth, Karrier One operates an on-chain bounty system backed by 50% of each epoch’s reward emissions. #### Features: * **Target Flexibility:** Bounties can target anything from specific GPS coordinates (e.g. school rooftops) to entire underserved regions. * **Public Bounty Dashboard:** Shows all open, claimed, expired, and fulfilled bounties for full transparency. * **Bonding Requirement:** A small KONE bond is required to claim, and is refunded upon successful verification. #### To Claim a Bounty: 1. Install a device in the specified location. 2. Register and lock your KONE bond. 3. Maintain uptime, QoS, and user engagement for 30–90 days. 4. Undergo oracle-based auditing and, if needed, community review. The bounty vault rolls over unclaimed rewards, keeping them available until fulfilled. *** ## # Governance & DAO Karrier One is governed by the **Karrier DAO**, powered by KONE token holders. #### DAO Highlights: * Stake KONE to vote or delegate * Propose policy or funding initiatives * Participate in liquid democracy * Earn staking + participation rewards **Governance Pool:** 300M KONE over 50 years (3% decay/year, like device rewards). The Karrier DAO ensures that no single company, small group of developers, or node operators have influence or control over the network. This assures a truly decentralized governance structure that is integral to maintaining the democratic and secure nature of the network. # Deployer Nodes Deployer Nodes are trusted operators running Karrier One’s core infrastructure, including radios operating on licensed and unlicensed spectrum [**(Karrier One Cellular)**](https://docs.karrier.one/karrier-one-cellular/). #### Requirements: * **Stake 100,000 KONE:** Locked as a commitment to quality. * **DAO Approval:** Must become a verified System Integrator. #### Earnings Model: * **Data-Based Rewards:** Payments scale with GB of data transmitted. * **Currency Options:** Choose KONE or local fiat currency (converted with a small fee). Deployer Nodes help ensure the integrity and operational reliability of the Karrier One network. # Economic Sustainability Karrier One’s long-term model balances network incentives with value preservation, emphasizing economic sustainability as a cornerstone of its tokenomics strategy. This ensures that rewards remain meaningful, inflation is managed, and contributors are motivated over time. #### Emission Control: * **50-Year Emission Plan:** A gradual token release plan distributes rewards and governance tokens over five decades. * **Exponential Decay (3% per year):** Each year sees slightly fewer tokens released, ensuring early adopters are rewarded while preventing long-term oversupply. This model promotes healthy supply dynamics and makes token emissions predictable, giving stakeholders confidence in the system’s longevity. #### Revenue Generation: * **Premium Services:** Subscription-based offerings such as enhanced dashboards, analytics, and prioritized connectivity tiers. * **dApp Ecosystem:** Developers can build and monetize decentralized applications leveraging the Karrier One infrastructure. * **Enterprise Partnerships:** Businesses and governments may lease infrastructure or access Karrier One APIs for secure communication services. These revenue streams reduce reliance on token emissions, improving overall sustainability. #### Deflationary Mechanisms: * **Fee Burns:** A portion of all network fees may be permanently removed from circulation, reducing supply. * **Buyback Programs:** Future initiatives may include token buybacks funded by network revenue. #### Tokenomics Design: * **Fee Redistribution:** 80% of collected transaction fees are allocated to DePIN contributors, while 20% supports DAO and community initiatives. * **Balanced Incentives:** Location-based and performance-based rewards ensure resources flow where needed most. Together, these mechanisms contribute to a robust, inflation-resistant economic model that scales globally and rewards both early and ongoing participation. One’s long-term model balances network incentives with value preservation. #### Emission Control: * 50-year schedule with exponential decay (3% annual reduction). * Slower emissions over time reduce inflationary pressure. #### Revenue Generation: * Monetized services: premium features, APIs, and dApps. * Business and government partnerships for infrastructure leasing. #### Tokenomics Design: * **Fee Redistribution:** 80% of collected transaction fees go to device operators, 20% to DAO/community. * **Potential Burns:** Part of fees may be burned to support token scarcity. This approach aligns incentives while promoting a healthy, long-lasting ecosystem. # Karrier One Wallet Your Karrier One Wallet is where you can store, manage, and use your KONE tokens. This wallet allows you to participate in the network by staking your tokens, paying for services, receiving rewards, and voting on governance proposals.

Here is how the reward system works for them: * **Service Rewards**: When a user utilizes a service provided by the node operators, several nodes may be involved. For instance, in the case of a telephone call where Foundation Nodes facilitate call routing, the origin node and the destination node are key players. These two nodes undertake additional tasks such as voice encoding and decoding. Hence, all nodes involved will receive equal rewards from the transaction fee derived from the user's service consumption, except these two key nodes, which will receive a higher reward due to their increased workload. * **Block Production Rewards**: Block production rewards comprise a fixed amount of KONE tokens, which are deducted from the total service fees included in the block. For other types of services offered on the network, the reward system remains the same; the rewards are distributed among the nodes selected to execute the service. Additional rewards are allocated to those nodes performing a more significant workload. ## Gatekeeper Nodes Rewards Gatekeeper Node rewards are distributed using the KONE token. Like Foundation Nodes, these rewards are disseminated to the Gatekeeper Nodes in proportion to the service provided by each node in the delivery of the service. * **Service Rewards**: If a village node has provided mobile to its users, there may be a large Gatekeeper Node in a nearby town and multiple mesh Gatekeeper Nodes between the village and town cooperating to deliver the service. Each node earns a share of the rewards according to their role in service delivery. * **Initial Gatekeeper Rewards**: A designated 8% of the overall KONE supply is reserved specifically for initial Gatekeeper Rewards. This arrangement is meant to stimulate the deployment of Gatekeeper nodes during the early stages of the network. The amount of KONE allocated to Gatekeepers is a fixed sum, determined by The KONE DAO, and it's based on various factors, such as the type of radio and the area of deployment. *In-depth revenue diagrams for Gatekeeper Nodes can be found on our Whitepaper.* ## Operator Nodes Rewards Operator Nodes accumulate rewards corresponding to the volume of traffic handled by the node. These rewards are allocated using the local stable currency, in compliance with the regulations of the country where the node is situated. * **Traffic Volume Rewards**: The node's rewards are proportional to the volume of traffic it handles. These rewards are given in the local stable currency in line with the country's regulations where the node is based. # Quality of Nodes The Karrier One network employs a sophisticated Node Quality Grading System. This system is a fundamental source of information used to regulate quality control and motivate node operators through incentivization mechanisms. ### Node Quality Grading System The grading system relies on historical quality and health check parameters. These include but are not limited to: * **Local latency between nodes**: This measures the time it takes for a packet of data to get from one designated point to another in the network. * **Jitter checks**: Jitter is the variation in packet transit delay caused by queuing, contention, and serialization effects on the path through the network. * **Packet loss**: This measures the number of packets of data traveling across a network that fail to reach their destination. * **Upload and download speed tests**: This assesses the speed at which data is transferred from and to the node. * **Node uptime**: This measures the amount of time a node stays up and running without going down or restarting. * **Mean Opinion Scores (MOS)**: MOS provides a numerical indication of the perceived quality of received media after it has been compressed and/or transmitted. These metrics are evaluated *continuously*, and quality grades are assigned to each node based on these parameters. ### Transparency and Quality Improvement Quality grades, detailing the aforementioned parameters for each node, are made publicly accessible. This transparency ensures that both node operators and the general public are aware of the performance and reliability of each node in the network. In case a node falls below a specified grade threshold, it will be excluded from the selection pool for ongoing communication handling. Such nodes will only be reconsidered for selection after a noted improvement in their grades. This improvement is based on enhanced performance during automated background health checks. The quality grading system serves to maintain the integrity and performance of the network. It ensures that all participating nodes meet a minimum quality standard, contributing to the overall health and reliability of the network. # KNS / Digital Identity The Karrier Numbering System (KNS) is our form of digital identity on the Karrier One network. KNS links your phone number to a [non-fungible token (NFT)](https://ethereum.org/en/nft/#:~:text=A%20way%20to%20represent%20anything,contracts%20on%20the%20Ethereum%20blockchain.). ## Overview The Karrier Numbering System (KNS) is designed to act as a conduit between the traditional Web2 and the evolving Web3 domains. Conventional communication systems fall short of providing the fundamental attributes that enable digital engagement with financial systems, while Web3 offers enhanced digital access to blockchain ecosystems that have [Decentralized Finance (DeFi)](https://ethereum.org/en/defi/) as their financial infrastructure. The amalgamation of the two allows users to have a wallet directly associated with their phone number. This simple yet powerful integration enables smooth transactions, facilitating effortless payments and augmenting the potential for peer-to-peer exchanges. The solution that has been selected for the digital identity is Karrier One Inc. Karrier Number System powered by Sui. ### KONE and KNS Profiles KONE, as the default currency, is used for transactions involving the purchase of KNS profiles, especially those that come with a premium phone number. KNS profiles can be minted through the [Karrier One Dashboard](https://dashboard.karrier.one/login?redirect=%2F). ### KNS Module The KNS Module functions through [Foundational Nodes](/network-faq/node-information/what-is-a-foundational-node). Information on our KNS Modules can be found [here](/network-faq/node-information/what-is-a-foundational-node). # Users on the Network A network user is defined as any individual who makes use of the variety of services provided by our network. These services, initially encompassing a broad spectrum of communication offerings such as wireless access, multimedia, and messaging, necessitate the expenditure of a transaction fee in the form of a digital token. ### Growing User Base and Token Utility As the user base of the network expands, the utility of the digital token naturally increases. This is not only due to the growth in number but also because the addition of new services on the network bolsters the demand and usefulness of the token. Furthermore, the network facilitates peer-to-peer transfers of these digital tokens among users, enabling them to share and distribute the network's utility to others. ### Simplified Access through Karrier One Dashboard The [Karrier One Dashboard](https://dashboard.karrier.one/login?redirect=%2F) provides users, even those unfamiliar with Web3, the ability to access the telecom layer. The Karrier One Dashboard will be your control center for minting KNS profiles, managing your KONE Wallet, and all node operations. ### Zero Knowledge Web Interface One of the innovative offerings on our platform is the Zero Knowledge Web Interface. This interface simplifies the process of accessing [decentralized applications (dApps)](https://ethereum.org/en/dapps/) at the telecom level, thereby making the utilization of blockchain distinctly straightforward. This approach addresses one of the key hurdles in blockchain adoption – its inherent complexity – and makes it more accessible to a wider user base. In summary, as a user of the network, individuals get access to a host of communication services, the power to share and distribute tokens, and the opportunity to use the full potential of blockchain technology. # How can I contact support? ### As of May 29th 2025, our primary support channel is through our Discord server through our #support-tickets channel.

# Keeping your Crypto Secure Possibly the most important page in these docs! Securing your cryptocurrency investments is paramount, given the digital nature of the assets. Below, we've curated a guide to ensure the safety of your crypto assets. ### Table of Contents 1. [Understand the Basics](#1.-understand-the-basics) 2. [Use a Hardware Wallet](#2.-use-a-hardware-wallet) 3. [Be Cautious of Phishing Attacks](#3.-be-cautious-of-phishing-attacks) 4. [Enable Two-Factor Authentication](#4.-enable-two-factor-authentication-2fa) 5. [Maintain Multiple Backups](#5.-maintain-multiple-backups) 6. [Keep Software Updated](#6.-keep-software-updated) 7. [Stay Informed and Educated](#7.-stay-informed-and-educated) ### 1. Understand the Basics * **Public Key**: This is like your email address - you can share it with others so they can send you cryptocurrency. Example: ``` 63FaC9201494f0bd17B9892B9fae4d52fe3BD377 ``` * **Private Key**: This is like your password to your email. Never share your private key with anyone. Possession of the private key means full control over the associated crypto assets. Example: ``` 8da4ef21b864d2cc526dbdb2a120bd2874c36c9d0a1fb7f8c63d7f7a8b41de8f ``` *Please do not send any crypto to the public key example, as the private key is published and the account is unsecure.* ### 2. Use a Hardware Wallet For large crypto holdings, consider investing in a hardware wallet. These are physical devices that store your private keys offline, ensuring they remain inaccessible to hackers. * **Popular Choices**: Ledger Nano S, Ledger Nano X, Trezor. * **Advantage**: Immune to viruses and malware, as they never connect to the internet. ### 3. Be Cautious of Phishing Attacks Phishers imitate legitimate companies to steal your private keys. * **Always**: Check URLs when accessing your digital wallet or exchange. * **Never**: Click on suspicious links from emails or social media. * **Always:** Double check wallet addresses when sending cryptocurrencies. ### 4. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Most exchanges and wallets offer 2FA. This is an extra layer of security that requires not only a password and username but also something that only the user knows or has. * **Types**: SMS codes, email codes, Google Authenticator, or physical hardware tokens. * **Recommendation**: Google Authenticator over SMS codes, as phone numbers can be compromised. ### 5. Maintain Multiple Backups Always backup your wallet to avoid losing access due to device failure or other unforeseen problems. * **Physical Copies**: Write down essential passwords and private keys and store them in a secure location. * **Digital Copies**: Store in multiple offline environments, like USB drives or external hard drives. Keep them disconnected when not in use. ### 6. Keep Software Updated Keep your wallet software and the software on your devices up-to-date. Developers regularly release security enhancements. ### 7. Stay Informed and Educated The crypto space evolves rapidly, and threats change. Staying informed about the latest threats and best practices is essential. * **Join**: Online forums, newsletters, or groups that discuss cryptocurrency. * **Follow**: Influential and trusted figures in the crypto community on platforms like Twitter or LinkedIn.
