WiFi Map's Next Big Steps - A Message from the Founders

Hey everyone,

Igor and Denis here, founders of WiFi Map. We want to take you on a quick journey through our story and share the exciting developments that are taking WiFi Map to the next level.

How We Began

Over a decade ago, we dared to dream of a world where everyone, regardless of where they were, could stay connected without worrying about data costs or unreliable networks. Our vision was bold: Free Internet Worldwide.

But we knew this vision would only become reality if we could bring people together. We believed in the power of community—a global network of people who would help each other find free internet anywhere, anytime. And here we are, with over 180 million users, more than 15 million free WiFi hotspots shared by our community, and over 2 billion connections enabled! What started as a dream has turned into a movement.

Our Sincere Thanks

This incredible journey wouldn’t have been possible without you—our contributors. You are the heart and soul of WiFi Map. Your dedication, passion, and belief in our mission are what have made this vision a reality. We owe it all to you.

What’s Next?

We didn’t stop at Free Internet Worldwide. As our community grew, so did our aspirations. We asked ourselves: Why limit ourselves to WiFi? Why not provide even more valuable resources that make life easier for travelers and locals alike?

Today, we're thrilled to announce that WiFi Map is evolving. Contributors can now add public toilets and drinking fountains, complete with photos and reviews, to the map. And that’s just the beginning! We’re committed to doing more—expanding the range and availability of essential, and in some cases, life-saving amenities. Our mission is to continue developing our map to help you tackle the everyday challenges you face, whether you’re traveling or going about your daily life.

We’re dedicated to growing and enhancing the map so that it becomes an indispensable tool for our users, no matter where they are. With the support of our incredible community, we will continue to make sure that everyone has access to essential amenities, making life easier, safer, and more convenient.

Embracing the principles of Web3, our community not only contributes but also shapes and regulates the content. This is a collaborative mission, and every person who joins us plays a vital role in making the world a better, more connected place.

Join Us!

We’re inviting you to be part of something extraordinary. Whether you're a traveler, a local, or simply someone who believes in the power of collective effort, WiFi Map is your platform. Together, we’re building something that transcends borders and boundaries—a world where everyone is connected, supported, and empowered.

Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Let’s continue to build, share, and support one another in ways that truly matter.

Stay connected,

Igor & Denis
