This innovation empowers users globally to monetize everyday mobile activities such as streaming, gaming, shopping, etc. We enable users to profit from their data and attention, rather than letting only tech giants benefit. What sets us apart is our inclusive approach - converting users into earners, facilitating over $150M in earnings and savings, while going a step further and turning earners into owners by awarding stock ownership in Mobile Mobile based on their usage. We have attracted over 40 million users across 170 countries.
