Tasks & Earnings
Everything your node can earn — passive, opt-in, and advanced. Figures are the network's indicative ranges, before licence reward splits; not guaranteed.
ℹ️ Unity Network is now Unetwork — same app, licences and rewards; the network rebranded in early 2026. You may see either name while the change rolls out.
Do this first KYC unlocks maximum rewards
KYC (identity verification) is required for Extended Telemetry, Entropy Contribution and to withdraw rewards. Without it your node earns baseline connection rewards only and cannot withdraw.
In the app: Profile → Verify identity. It takes a few minutes with a photo ID, once per account, and covers every device on the account.
The numberWhat a device actually earns
🐢 Connection only
App installed, left alone, no KYC. The Connection to Unetwork task is the only thing running. ~$0.05–0.15 / day
That is what our own monitored nodes have averaged over the last 30 days — most of them at this tier. It is the floor, not the ceiling.
🚶 KYC + tasks switched on
KYC done, Extended Telemetry and Entropy Contribution on, surveys answered, Caller ID and SMS testing enabled, uptime above 90%. ~$0.15–0.50 / day
A couple of surveys a month at 0.5–3.0 UP each moves the number more than anything else. This is the range most active operators should be aiming at.
🏃 Scout & Runner
KYC done, dedicated prepaid SIM, working assigned routes. Well above $0.50 / day
Per-route and per-minute work with a promotion bonus on top. Real effort, and seats are limited — but this is where the ceiling lifts.
Honest framing: a phone you install and forget sits at the bottom of that first band. Everything above it comes from KYC and opting into tasks. Nothing here is guaranteed — demand, country, carrier, device quality, uptime and validation all move the number, and the network can change task rates at any time.
The list Every task, as the app shows it (Unetwork app 1.2.4, September 2026)
| Task | The app says | Type | Needs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connection to Unetwork | Always Active | passive | The app running and online. Nothing else. |
| Caller ID Testing | Report the caller ID of test calls exactly as shown | opt-in | A SIM or eSIM that can receive calls. |
| SMS Testing | Report test messages exactly as received | opt-in | A number that receives standard SMS. |
| Connectivity Verification | Check signal strength in your area | opt-in | Location on. No rate published yet. |
| Surveys | Research studies matched to your country and profile | opt-in | Honest answers. No SIM needed. |
| Extended Telemetry | Share your approximate (city-level) location … Requires location set to 'Allow all the time' | KYC required | KYC done; location permission set to Allow all the time. |
| Entropy Contribution | Your device contributes high-quality randomness used to help secure online systems. Runs in the background | KYC required | KYC done. Costs nothing to leave on. |
| Ugrid | Share this phone's internet connection with the Ugrid network. Off until you switch it on; pause or opt out anytime | APK only opt-in | The direct Android APK build (not yet in Google Play or the App Store) — download it here. No rate published yet. |
Type key: passive runs by itself · opt-in you switch it on under Tasks · KYC required greyed out until identity verification is done · APK only only in the direct Android download for now.
Passive Runs by itself — where everyone starts
🔗 Connection to Unetwork
Always active once the app is signed in and online. This is the baseline every licence earns from, KYC or not. the floor of the first band
Needs: app signed in, background activity allowed, Wi-Fi or data, good uptime. See Tune your phone so it never stops.
📡 Extended Telemetry KYC
Your phone quietly measures real network performance — signal, speed, reliability — from where you are, with your approximate (city-level) location. Never needs the app on screen. ~0.05–0.55 UP / day / device
Needs: KYC done, location set to Allow all the time, background activity allowed. Demand and data quality decide the rate — avoid VPNs, emulators, and stacking many devices on one connection.
🎲 Entropy Contribution KYC
Your device contributes high-quality randomness used to help secure online systems, in the background. Rewards being finalised while the commercial rollout completes.
Needs KYC. Still in the collection and validation stage — it runs quietly alongside the connection task and costs you nothing to leave on.
🌐 Ugrid APK only
Share this phone's internet connection with the Ugrid network. Off until you switch it on; pause or opt out anytime. No rate published yet
Only in the direct Android APK build for now, not the store builds — download the latest APK from worlddepin.io/app (Unetwork's own file; worlddepin.io/apk always resolves to their newest build). Announced in this Unetwork post. Unetwork has not published an earnings rate for Ugrid, so neither do we.
Opt-in Enable under Tasks in the app — more work, more reward
📝 Surveys
Research studies matched to your country and profile; answer honestly in the app. ~0.5–3.0 UP / survey
Approved rewards pend ~30–60 days while the study validates, then credit at month-end. No SIM needed; no VPNs or proxies.
📞 Caller ID Testing
A real test call reaches your phone; report the caller ID exactly as shown — no need to answer. ~0.05–0.2 UP / approved test
Needs a SIM/eSIM that can receive calls. Calls can come from unfamiliar numbers at any time while enabled.
💬 SMS Testing
Test messages arrive in your normal inbox; report the content, and the sender, exactly as received. UP per validated report
Needs a verified number that receives standard SMS; keep the line reachable. Report the sender name or number exactly as your phone displays it, odd spacing and all — a mismatch is the finding.
📶 Connectivity Verification
Check signal strength in your area — a short measurement the app runs when you switch it on. No rate published yet
Needs location on. New in the September 2026 app; Unetwork has not published a rate.
Advanced Scout & Runner — KYC + a dedicated prepaid SIM (never your personal SIM)
| Role | What you do | Indicative rewards |
|---|---|---|
| 🔍 Scout | Find possible voice routes: dial assigned test numbers from your dedicated SIM, report exactly what happened including your real balance. | 0.10 UP / verified report · 0.50 UP / full 5-call session · 5 UP per promoted route · 4% of Runner minutes on your routes |
| 🏃 Runner | Verify Scout-found routes with live manual calls — connected 30+ seconds, then a matching report. | 70% of the per-minute reward, settled daily (held ≤7 days if fraud checks trigger) |
| 🧭 ScoutQuest | Periodic research: submit local prepaid SIM + package combinations for review. | 5 UP per approved submission (max 50 UP / period) |
Scout & Runner have been in full public beta since July 2026, with limited seats per country (around 50, more in the US). Approved SIM and call-plan costs are reimbursed up to $40. House rules: report what actually happened, never automate dialling or reporting, hang up if a human answers. SIM costs, fair-use limits and local regulations are your responsibility. Calls under 30s, mismatched reports and scripted behaviour are rejected.
Actual rewards depend on demand, location, carrier, device quality, uptime and validation — task availability varies by market.
