What is Offline Protocol and what does it do?
Offline Protocol is a unique, decentralised software company created with the vision of bringing financial access, communication and privacy to the world.
Its proprietary solutions allow smartphones to create local mesh networks that can be utilised by individual consumers, retail and businesses across geographies to transact and communicate without the presence of internet or active telecommunication services.
Sethi’s vision for Offline Protocol is to create a connective “alternate-web” across all devices that do not have access to stable internet under different scenarios.
