SIGLO: Improved Access for Cellular Connectivity & Smartphone Usage

Siglo Protocol

In emerging markets, increased access to cellular connectivity undeniably creates new economic opportunities. We look forward to empower smartphone users in this market by removing barriers that previously prevented them from participating in the digital economy. Siglo will also offer brand-scalable solutions to connect with customers in some of the fastest growing markets in the world. The transactional reduction on the ecosystem benefits of textbooks has not changed and can be audited on the Ethereum block, including brand transactions, user transactions, and user-to-user transactions. With tokenizing access to mobile airtime, Siglo will be able to facilitate increased access of disadvantaged users to the network through the creation of decentralized mobile networks.

Background

We built Siglo for the success of our Android Pig.gi app, which has been used by more than one million smartphone owners in Mexico and Colombia to access the internet, adding a blockchain layer above the previously established set of off-chain data rate called Pig. gi coin. More than 65% of these users are not labeled. Launched in 2016, Pig.gi has generated over one billion impressions for its brand partners, the brand has received over 1 million consumer opinions, and we have distributed 45 million Pig.gi coins to users. We've collected a lot of new data that maps the customer's journey from the initial discovery to the final transaction.

How does Siglo work?

Siglo's mission is to create and develop the so-called Siglocosystem. To start using the Siglo App, users must:

- Create a personal account by providing a system with basic information: opinions, tastes, interests of the brand.

- After a smart contract is digitally signed, the user is entitled to minimize this data.

- Users must pay a minimum deposit of tokens for the establishment of a smart contract. Then the user can access his personal wallet connected to his profile.

Brands and other entities need to communicate with the audience. In emerging markets, this is a serious challenge. When the campaign is published to the Siglo protocol, the intelligent contract defines the target audience and is validated on blockchain. Then the campaign is shared with the verified users that are defined as targets. This may be any consumer, employee or account holder. More than 70% of the world's mobile phones are prepared as an individual struggle to have connectivity composed.

When Siglo Application users see the content, answer survey questions or choose to get involved, they get App Coins or Tokens. In turn the brand gets a chance to directly engage users because this contract is written to Blockchain, they are transparent to everyone. The return asset tokens can be redeemed for every pop up and in the future for other goods and services. Users make their first financial transactions online and they start participating in the economic process.

Solve the problem

In the Mexican market, 61% of adults do not have bank accounts and by 2016. In Latin America, 85% of smartphone connections are paid in advance. For this user, 500 MB of income takes between 8 to 40 hours of work, based on average wages and top-up costs in Mexico and Brazil. Getting top-ups for cellular connectivity requires a trip to a supermarket, gas station or small roadside shop. By using the Pig.gi app, these users can get broadcast time during their trip, at home, or whenever their schedule allows them to interact with the app - giving them the ability to connect more than ever.

Token Sales Plan

Siglo developers understand the importance of being aware of how people choose. Why do they prefer this product or service or that? Everyone stays in tune with the modern trend and has measurable information about the method of choice. This information can be easily redeemed and let people who have shared it can access the internet for free. Siglo may appeal to those new to the digital world and get basic financial services. And for those who already get and transact in cryptocurrency because it gives them a chance to save, to invest or spend it in the future on anything imaginable.

Siglo is the evolution of pig.gi experiment

The main investors of Siglo platform brothers Joel and Isaac Phillips have founded and launched the pig.gi app. The public version was launched in June 2016 in Mexico and few months later in Columbia. Since that time it was downloaded more than 1.2 million times and has an average rating 4.5 in Google Play Store. The main idea of pig.gi app is to provide merchants and brands with a solution for connecting them with the customers, simultaneously helping people get safe and moderate access to the internet. So Siglo system is a result of a great job that was done during the process of creation of pig.gi app.

Siglo founders consider themselves to be pioneers in the sphere of democratized monetization of data while creating the pig.gi app. But conditions of the modern digital world are calling to create even more transparent system. And here is the interest to the human essential needs growth.
