Pollen (PCN)
Pollen is a decentralized mobile network that’s built on Solana and owned and operated by its users.
Basics
History
- From their website (31-10-2022):
"Pollen was started by Pronto, a San Francisco company that develops autonomous driving technology for off-road applications. Our technology requires reliable and affordable mobile connectivity, which we weren’t getting with legacy carriers, so we built our own network. We soon realized we could open up our technology and enable the world’s first decentralized, privacy-focused, affordable mobile network owned and operated by its users."
Audits & Exploits
- Bug bounty program can be found here (9-2022). Has 1,000K - 100K PCN for the most critical bugs, which as of 31-10-2022 is about ~9000$ max.

How it works
- From Our Network (29-10-2022):
"Pollen is a decentralized mobile network. It is owned and operated by the project’s users, which are grouped into Flowers, Bees, and Hummingbirds. Flowers are antennas to wirelessly transfer data between a user’s ISP and the network. Bees are small devices to validate network coverage. Hummingbirds are smartphones connecting to the network. Pollen is currently live with coverage in most major metro areas of the US."

"It’s impossible for anyone to track your communications or collect your personal data – much less profit by selling it."

Usage
- As of 31-10-2022, it has users/spots in the US, China and Taiwan.
- From Our Network (29-10-2022):
"The network has seen steady growth since launching in February of 2022. Pollen currently has 1,180 Flowers online and 2,021 Flowers in total. Bumblebees (portable devices) and honeybees (an app) have steadily increased, while hummingbirds (mobile users) have remained steady. PCN Incentive Credits (PICs) create crypto-economic incentives, which translate to Solana-based PCN token rewards. All participants can earn tokens, but Flowers generally make considerably more given higher hardware requirements. At PCN’s current price and PIC levels, the network’s users are making ~$30 in total every day."
