Scheduled maintenance has been completed successfully. All network infrastructure upgrades were applied as planned and services are fully restored.
The interruption fell within the expected window. No data was affected and no action is required.
Thank you for your patience as we continue to strengthen the network.
Scout & Runner is Back!
We're excited to announce that Scout & Runner (S&R) is being reactivated today!
Following the temporary suspension, we've taken the opportunity to strengthen the platform and introduce a number of improvements that make the program more sustainable, more rewarding, and better protected against abuse.
Here's everything you need to know.
Rolling Release
Scout & Runner will be reactivated through a phased rollout rather than all countries going live at once.
* We'll begin by opening the +1 countries.
* Additional countries will then be activated one by one as they are ready.
* We'll announce new country activations as they happen, so keep an eye on our official channels.
This staged rollout allows us to closely monitor performance, ensure stability, and deliver the best possible experience as Scout & Runner returns.
Changes to the Scout Role
To ensure the program remains fair and effective, we've updated how the Scout role works.
* Scout positions have been reduced from 50 to 30 per country.
* Available Scout seats will be allocated to the Scouts who were most active during Alpha and Beta.
Refunds
* Each Scout is now limited to one SIM refund per carrier per month.
* Scouts can still purchase additional SIMs during the month; however:
* Additional SIMs will not qualify for refunds.
* Additional reports will not earn UP rewards.
* Scouts will continue to receive 5 UP for discovering new access.
* Scouts will continue to earn 4% of Runner call revenue generated from the access they discover.
KYC Requirement
* Anyone participating as either a Scout or Runner must complete KYC.
* If you've already completed KYC in the Unetwork app, you do not need to complete it again.
* If you haven't completed KYC, the Scout & Runner platform will prompt you to do so.
* Once completed, your verification will also be recognised across Unetwork going forward.
Additional Anti-Fraud Protection
* We will continue rolling out additional anti-fraud measures to further strengthen the platform.
* These improvements are designed to protect honest users and will not change the underlying reward economics.
Updated Terms
* As part of today's relaunch, all users will be asked to accept the updated Terms & Conditions.
We're excited to have Scout & Runner back online and can't wait to see the community helping expand access around the world once again.
Thank you for your patience while we implemented these improvements, and thank you for being part of building the future of global telecommunications.
Scheduled Maintenance - 5 August 2026, 00:00 UTC
Unetwork will undergo scheduled maintenance beginning 5 August 2026 at 00:00 UTC as part of planned upgrades to network infrastructure.
Services may be temporarily unavailable during this window. The interruption is expected to last no longer than 30 minutes.
All ULOs will be compensated in uptime for the full duration of the maintenance window. No data will be affected.
No action is required. Service will resume automatically upon completion, and restoration will be confirmed through official channels.
We appreciate your understanding as we continue to strengthen the network.
KYC Is Now Required for All Reward Withdrawals
Unetwork has extended identity verification to crypto reward withdrawals, creating one consistent KYC standard across all reward withdrawals.
In anticipation of upcoming tasks and new opportunities on the platform, we're taking these steps now to ensure eligible participants are ready to take part while helping Unetwork meet its compliance obligations.
We understand that this adds an extra step. It is an important safeguard for every operator and helps protect the network's long-term health.
Unetwork is onboarding commercial customers. As the network grows, we must operate in compliance with applicable Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Know Your Customer (KYC), and financial crime regulations. This requires a clear and compliant withdrawal process designed to:
• Protect users and legitimate reward activity
• Reduce fraud, unauthorized withdrawals, and financial crime
• Meet applicable identity verification, Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Know Your Customer (KYC), and sanctions requirements
• Protect the network's relationships with commercial customers and payment partners
• Maintain a secure and reliable reward withdrawal system as Unetwork scales
Crypto reward withdrawals, like fiat reward withdrawals, are subject to applicable AML, KYC, and other regulatory requirements. Identity verification helps Unetwork process withdrawals responsibly, maintain accurate records, and protect legitimate users.
KYC already applies to fiat reward withdrawals. Extending it to crypto reward withdrawals creates one consistent compliance standard across all reward withdrawals.
A compliant network is a stronger network. Protecting the reward withdrawal system protects every legitimate participant.
UNO Holders Meeting Schedule Update
Following last week’s special meeting with Unetwork’s new CEO, we confirmed that UNO Holders Meetings will now take place every two weeks.
To transition from the previous monthly schedule, the meeting currently scheduled for tomorrow will not go ahead.
The first meeting under the new fortnightly schedule will take place:
Tuesday, August 11th, 2026
18:00 CEST
Unetwork Discord / UNOs Stage
Meetings will then continue every two weeks, giving UNO holders more regular opportunities to hear network updates, raise questions, and engage directly with the Unetwork team.
Please update your calendars. We look forward to seeing you next Tuesday.
The latest Unetwork app build is now available as a direct APK download.
The Google Play and Apple App Store versions are currently under review and will become available following approval.
What’s new in version 1.2.2:
• Improved connection stability
• Lease extension functionality
• Extended Telemetry
Extended Telemetry is a new opt-in task within the expanding Telemetry family.
Share your approximate, city-level location to strengthen network verification. Your precise location never leaves your device.
Extended Telemetry is being released to support the upcoming dedicated Telemetry Marketplace and the continued expansion of Unetwork’s real-world network intelligence capabilities.
Additional telemetry-related tasks, alongside other new task types, will be released in the near future.
Android users can download the latest APK now:
https://t.co/vKGuo3iFHg
App Store users should continue using their current version while version 1.2.2 completes the review process.
🔷 ETH Mint is now available for Unetwork holders.
This milestone delivers greater choice and flexibility, giving Unetwork Node holders another seamless way to mint and activate their Node NFT.
• Open the confirmation email you received when you purchased your Unetwork Node.
• Use your unique confirmation link to choose Ethereum as your minting network.
• Confirm your license order and follow the minting instructions sent to your email once your licenses have been allocated.

📢 Update: Legacy App Support Timeline Extended
To ensure the best possible experience for all users, we've decided to extend the retirement date for legacy Unity and Unetwork app versions.
We're completing the final stages of compatibility support for older Samsung devices before retiring legacy app support. This additional time will help ensure as many supported devices as possible can transition smoothly to the latest version.
What this means:
• Legacy Unity and Unetwork app versions will continue to be supported for a little longer.
• Android users can continue updating to Unetwork v1.2.1 to benefit from the latest features, performance improvements, and reliability.
We'll announce the new retirement date once this final compatibility work is complete.
Thank you for your patience and continued support. Taking a little extra time now helps us deliver the best possible experience for everyone as Unetwork continues to evolve.
Action Required: Keep Your Unetwork App Up to Date
We're upgrading Unetwork. Make sure you come with us.
As Unetwork continues to grow, we're rolling out major updates to deliver better performance, improved reliability, and exciting new features. To support these ongoing improvements, we are retiring support for older versions of our apps.
What this means for you: As we continue improving Unetwork, older versions of the Unity app and Unetwork app will no longer be able to connect to the latest services. Android users should update to Unetwork v1.2.1 to stay connected and benefit from the latest features, performance improvements, and reliability.
🗓 Effective: Wednesday, July 15 at 00:00 UTC
From this time:
⚠️ Legacy versions of the Unity app will no longer connect to the latest services.
⚠️ Unetwork app v1.1.x will no longer be supported.
✅ Android users: Update to Unetwork v1.2.1 to stay connected and enjoy the latest features, performance improvements, and reliability.
👉 If you're using Android, please install Unetwork v1.2.1 before July 15 to ensure uninterrupted access to the network.
iOS users: Support for the latest version will follow as soon as it becomes available on the App Store. We'll let you know as soon as it's ready.
This isn't the end of the Unity or Unetwork apps. It's the retirement of legacy technology as we prepare for future enhancements and continue building the best possible experience for our community.
Thank you for being part of the journey as we build the future of decentralized telecommunications. 🚀
ACCOUNT MERGE IS NOW LIVE + NEW PLATFORM UPDATES
As announced last week, the Account Merge feature is now available.
If you previously used an alias email address linked to your base Unetwork account, you can now securely merge your alias account into your base account.
To merge your account:
• Sign in to https://t.co/FTqoiXRlRR using your base Unetwork email address
• Go to Settings → Merge Accounts
• Follow the on-screen instructions
Once complete:
• Rewards, leases, and account data will be transferred to your base account
• Existing lease device bindings remain in place
• Simply sign in again on any devices previously using the base email address
We've also rolled out additional improvements to the Manage Platform:
✓ Bulk License Transfers are now available, making it much easier to transfer multiple licenses in a single action.
✓ Direct Node-to-Node License Transfers are now supported. Existing lease settings are maintained during the transfer, and once the current lease expires, the new license owner can apply their own lease settings.
These updates are part of our ongoing commitment to making the Unetwork platform more powerful, flexible, and easier to manage.
Thank you for your continued feedback and support as we continue to improve the platform.
📢 UNO Meetup Update
We're postponing today's UNO meetup as the team is fully focused on current development work.
We'll announce a new date shortly and look forward to sharing the latest progress with you then.
Thanks for your understanding and continued support.
🚨 Temporary Service Interruption
We're currently experiencing an external infrastructure outage affecting our backend services.
As a result, the following services are temporarily unavailable:
• The Unetwork App
• https://t.co/Nbsukr389E
• The Scout & Runner platform
Our team is actively working with the infrastructure provider to restore full service as quickly as possible.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while we work to resolve this issue.
We'll provide further updates as soon as more information becomes available. Thank you for your understanding.
ACCOUNT MERGE UPDATE
Some users attempting to withdraw rewards may currently see a message stating that their email address is already registered.
As part of our ongoing platform security improvements, temporary and alias email addresses are no longer supported for account management and reward withdrawals. As a result, users signed in with an alias email associated with their base Unetwork account will encounter this message when attempting to withdraw rewards.
We're currently implementing a new Account Merge feature that will allow you to securely merge eligible alias email accounts into your base account, making reward withdrawals and account management much simpler.
The feature is expected to be available early next week.
Once released, you'll simply:
• Log in using your base Unetwork email address
• Go to Settings → Merge Accounts
• Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the merge
Once the merge is complete:
• Your rewards, leases, and account data will be transferred to your base account
• Existing lease device bindings will remain in place
• The merged alias account will be disabled
• You'll simply need to sign in again on any devices previously using the merged email address
We'll share another update as soon as the feature is live.
We recognize there was a communication gap regarding this change, and we thank you for your patience as we continue to improve the Unetwork platform.
Round 1 Bonus Licenses Are Now Available
Bonus license allocations are now available for all community members who acquired one or more nodes during the Round 1 sale.
These extra licenses are part of the Round 1 Privileges, increasing license capacity for eligible node operators.
To access your extra licenses:
• Go to https://t.co/thutUS1Ntp
• Log in using the same email address used to acquire your node
• If your order was connected to a Web3 wallet, make sure you are using the wallet/order details associated with that node purchase
• Once logged in, your available Bonus licenses will be shown in the platform
• Select the wallet you want to use
• Choose the node you want to add licenses to
• Enter the number of extra licenses you want to claim
• Submit your request
The first allocation will be minted on Monday, July 6 at 00:00 UTC. After that, allocations will be minted once per day, Monday through Friday, at 00:00 UTC.
If you operate more than one node, you can choose which node to assign your Bonus licenses to.
Round 1 operators helped build the foundation for Unetwork’s next phase. These Bonus licenses increase operator capacity as more tasks, more tooling, and more network utility continue to come online.
More licenses. More capacity. Stronger network.
Scout & Runner is now live in full public Beta.
This marks a major milestone for Unetwork as Scout & Runner moves beyond ScoutQuest and staged access into the full Beta platform.
Scout & Runner is a third-party opt-in task provided by ApexTelecom and hosted by Unetwork.
Both roles are now available:
• Scout Role
• Runner Role
Users can now access the platform and begin participating in the next phase of real-world telecom validation.
Scout & Runner brings real operators, real devices, and real mobile networks together to help verify carrier connectivity and strengthen telecom intelligence at global scale.
To access the platform:
• Open the Tasks tab in the Unetwork app
• Select Connectivity Verification
• Enter the Scout & Runner Beta platform
• Register for the Runner Role, or apply for one of the limited Scout seats available in your country
Please note: Scout & Runner remains in public Beta, so users may encounter minor bugs or flow adjustments as the platform is tested, refined, and scaled.
This is the next phase of S&R: broader access, deeper validation, and more real-world telecom intelligence flowing through the network.
Real devices. Real operators. Global verification.
Unetwork application update 1.2.1 is now available on Android via the Google Play Store and as a direct APK download.
This build introduces Entropy, a new first-party opt-in task now available in the Tasks tab.
Entropy allows attested Android devices to contribute high-quality randomness to a decentralized pool in the background. It is privacy-first, fully opt-in, and can be enabled or disabled at any time.
What’s new in build 1.2.1:
• Entropy Contribution - a new opt-in task for Android and APK users
• Improved connectivity to Unetwork trust services
• Device readiness checks - when binding a license, the app now checks connectivity and attestation status before connecting to Proof of Work. Already bound? You can run the check manually anytime in Settings → Check device readiness.
• Clearer device readiness signals before PoW connection
Important:
• Entropy is currently available on Android and APK only
• The iOS version of build 1.2.1 is currently in review with Apple
• Entropy will not be included in the iOS 1.2.1 build

Real operators. Real devices. New ways to participate.
📢 S&R Update
We're preparing for the public launch of S&R.
The rollout will take place in two phases:
🗓️ Next Tuesday/Wednesday: Staging access for Ambassadors & SuperScouts.
🗓️ Next Thursday/Friday: Targeted public rollout of both Scout and Runner roles, following successful staging validation.
We'll keep the community informed of our progress ahead of each stage.
Exciting times ahead - we can't wait to welcome everyone to S&R
