Ant Network - Phone Based Review
Ant Network: Phone Based is a free-to-play ant colony simulation that allows users to expand their ant assets through its gamified simulator, without battery or data consumption. It also provides a fun and informative way to learn about the life of ants.
Unlike other legitimate cryptocurrency projects such as Bitcoin, the creators of Ant Network remain anonymous and they do not have corporate emails for people to reach out to them. This makes it harder to report any issues or get in touch with the developers.
One of the red flags we found with this app is that it requires paid upgrades to increase mining speed and coin payouts. This is a clear indication that the app is not following a decentralized model, where the profits are shared amongst all players. It could also lead to fraud if the developers decide to terminate the project and take all of the profits for themselves.
The Ant Network website also does not contain a privacy policy which is a mandatory requirement for apps in most countries and regions. This is a clear red flag as it indicates that the creators may be using users' data for their benefit within the mining application, the future video sharing platform or with 3rd parties.
ANT is a wireless protocol stack that enables devices to communicate with each other, in a manner conceptually similar to Bluetooth low energy but optimized for use with sensors. It uses adaptive isochronous transmission, allowing many devices to be simultaneously active in the same physical area, avoiding collisions and increasing range.
