What Is Unetwork? Everything We Know About the Unity Network Rebrand
Updated April 2026
Unity Network is being renamed to Unetwork. The name change was confirmed during the April 27, 2026 AMA on X Spaces, where it was described as “a network powered by you.” The rename will happen across the app, website, platform, and all communications at the same time. This was framed as a renaming, not a full rebrand. The product, the team, and the technology stay the same.
If you are a current license operator, a node owner, or someone considering getting started, this post covers what is changing, what is not, and what you should do right now.
Why Is Unity Network Changing Its Name?
The name “Unity” overlaps with Unity Technologies, the publicly traded game engine company (NYSE: U). Unity Technologies holds registered trademarks on the name in the technology space. Rather than fight a trademark battle, the team decided to rename to Unetwork. This removes the legal risk and also eliminates confusion in search results where people looking for the telecom project find game engine content instead.
The rename is planned to roll out simultaneously across the app, website, and all communications. Nothing about the underlying technology or business is changing.
What Is Unetwork?
Unetwork is a people powered global edge network. It turns everyday smartphones into active infrastructure that collects real time telemetry and verification data for carriers and enterprises. You download the app, it runs controlled tasks in the background (test calls, network measurements, sender ID validation), and you earn rewards funded by the service fees those customers pay. Not token emissions, not treasury funds. 100% customer funded revenue.
The app does not route your personal calls or texts. It does not access your contacts or messages. No KYC is required to operate a license.
The network currently has over 50,000 online devices across 150+ countries and 1,500+ cities, with 20+ paying customers on the platform.
What Is a Unetwork License and How Do You Get One?
A Unetwork license (currently called a Unity license) is what allows your phone to participate in the network and earn. Each license is an NFT that can be transferred or sold. Licenses are distributed by Node Operators, with each node coming with 200 transferable operator licenses.
To run a license, you need a lease code from a Node Operator. The setup takes under five minutes:
- Download the app from Google Play or the Apple App Store
- Select License Operator and sign in
- Enter your lease code
- Bind the license to your device and purchase credits ($1.99/mo to activate)
- Keep the app running and earn
One device runs one license. Estimated average earnings are approximately $48 USD per month based on a 50/50 split with the Node Operator, drawn from nearly a year of pilot data. Actual rewards are demand based and depend on uptime, task type, location, and customer needs.
We have active lease codes available right now.
Get started earning before the rename rolls out.
What Changes With the Rename?
What is expected to change
- Brand name: Unity Network becomes Unetwork
- App name: The Unity Network App will become the Unetwork App
- Website: unitynodes.io will transition to a new domain
- Social media handles: New handles across X, Telegram, and other platforms
What stays the same
- Technology: The edge network, verification tasks, and Proof of Work model
- Licenses: Your existing license remains valid
- Earnings: Reward structure, withdrawal options, and customer funded revenue model
- Node ownership: Nodes and their 200 licenses are unchanged
- Lease agreements: Current lease codes and operator agreements stay in effect
- The team: Same people building the same product
What Should Operators Do Right Now?
If you are currently running a license, you do not need to do anything immediately. Your license continues to work and earnings continue to accumulate. When the rename goes live, there will be an app update. Here is a short checklist:
- Keep your app updated. A new build is coming soon. Update as soon as it is available.
- Maximize uptime. Devices with 90 to 95%+ uptime earn significantly more on telemetry and CLI tasks.
- Watch for official announcements. Follow @UnityNodes and @UnityNodesIO on X, and t.me/unitynodes on Telegram.
- Do not fall for scams. Name changes attract scammers creating fake apps and phishing links. Only use official app store listings.
Who Created Unetwork?
Unetwork was created as a joint venture between Minutes Network and World Mobile. Minutes Network brings the telecom verification technology, the carrier and enterprise customer relationships, and the task infrastructure. World Mobile brings the blockchain layer (World Mobile Chain), the token ecosystem, and the broader decentralized telecom vision. Together they built a network where real people running real phones generate real data that real customers pay for.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Unetwork a new project or the same as Unity Network?
Unetwork is the same project with a new name. The technology, team, customers, and network infrastructure are all unchanged. The rename is driven by a trademark issue with the name “Unity.”
Do I need to do anything with my existing license?
No. Your license continues to work. When the rename goes live, update the app to the latest version. Your license, earnings, and lease agreements remain valid.
Will my earnings be affected?
No. Earnings are based on network activity and customer funded service fees, not branding. The reward structure and withdrawal options remain the same.
When will the rename go live?
No specific public date has been announced. The team plans to rename the app, website, and communications simultaneously. We will update this post when it happens.
Will the app store links change?
The app listing IDs should stay the same since developers can rename an app without changing its store listing. Existing download links should continue to work.
Should I wait for the rename before getting started?
No. The network is live and paying rewards right now. Starting today means you begin earning immediately. The rename will not interrupt your earnings or require re-setup. Visit our lease codes page to get started.
How do I avoid scams during the transition?
Only download the app from the official Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Do not click links from unofficial sources. Do not share your lease code, wallet credentials, or seed phrases with anyone.
The name changes. The opportunity doesn’t.
