Siglo is a protocol that facilitates the use of mobile applications to accrue value and exchange it for increased mobile access and other goods and services. Users accumulate this value by sharing information, attention, and engagement with Siglo brand partners, and then exchange it for mobile connectivity in the form of airtime top-ups. Mobile apps built on top of the Siglo Protocol monetize the use of data with the consent of users and pass these earnings back to the user.
