Welcome to KageDePIN’s first-ever Play-to-Earn mobile game where players earn cryptocurrency by contributing to the development of indoor navigation and low-power wayfinding solutions. In Kage, you’ll utilize your smartphone to discover wireless networks and facilitate Chirp build the world’s first community-owned geolocation database. You will be rewarded with $CHIRP tokens for your efforts.
This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to get started.
Please note that this is an alpha version of Kage before TGE, which offers players the chance to earn $CHIRP tokens before TGE. This release includes two phases of $CHIRP reward distribution: the first occurring shortly after TGE and the second occurring just before the main Kage release.
Dive into our guide to learn all the details!
Kage is only available for Android devices, and the pre-TGE alpha version can be downloaded at:
Once Kage is installed, you will need to create a fresh account or log in to an existing one. To get started, follow the basic registration process.

Once the onboarding process is complete, you will enter the game.
Kage has 5 sections that players can move between using the panel at the bottom of the screen:
- Main screen
- Leaderboard screen
- Scanning screen
- Map screen (coming soon)
- Wallet screen
Main screen
Here you can:
- Share information Kage on their social networking sites
- Follow Chirp Communities and stay up to date
- Get access to Menu where you can customize your nickname and avatar and contact Chirp support in any case
- Check your position in the overall leaderboard and in your alliance.
- Check how many wireless networks you have detected and how many Data chips you earned.
Leaderboard screen
Here you can check your position in the overall leaderboard or in the leaderboard within your alliance.
Scanning screen
Here your smartphone becomes a powerful wireless signal detector!
Activate one-touch scanning to start searching for wireless networks, earn data tokens and climb to the top of the leaderboard.
Wallet screen
The wallet screen helps you keep track of the $CHIRP rewards you’ve earned through your Kage activities.
Please note that without your Sui wallet connected to your Chirp account, you will not be able to claim your rewards.
Connection to the Sui wallet is only possible in the desktop version via access https://app.chirpwireless.io/settings/rewards-wallet.
The Scanning screen from this point the detection of wireless signals begins. To start scanning you need to:
- Switch on geolocation on your device.
- Turn something on Bluetooth to discover nearby wireless networks.
Murray will remind you anyway.
Everything is ready! With one tap you can start searching for wireless signals and earn $CHIRP.
As a player, your main goal is to detect as many wireless signals as possible. Whether you’re walking, running, or taking transit, try to spot Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cell towers.
Remember:
- Duplicate wireless networks: The game will filter out any duplicate networks to ensure exact data collection. Detection of the same networks within 24 hours will not result in additional data tokens being added
- Movement speed: Moving too swift may affect your ability to detect all available networks.
- GPS signal: Only with a mighty GPS signal, the player can detect wireless signals. If the GPS signal becomes unstable, you will be notified
- Counterfeit prevention: Kage has built-in anti-spoofing mechanisms to ensure fair gameplay and exact data collection. At Chirp, we protect the rewards of forthright players. If you are caught cheating, you will be banned.
The more wireless networks you discover, the better Data chips you earn. As your total number of data tokens increases, so does your position on the leaderboard.
Each detected network (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or cellular) has its own rating. The more often a network is discovered, the higher its rating.
Here’s how it works:
- Basics of network assessment
Evaluating any network (cell tower, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) starts with 0.
Each time a user scans a network, its rating increases by 1 point.
An individual user can only upgrade the rating of the same network once every 24 hours.
2. How Data Chips calculations work
As you scan the network, you earn data tokens based on:
- The network type (e.g. cell tower, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth).
- Grid current rate (how many times it has already been detected).
Networks with low rating give more data chips because they are scanned less frequently.
As your network rating increases higherthe reward decreases.
3. Types of networks and their basic results: :
Cell tower = 100 data tokens
Wi-Fi = 10 data tokens
Bluetooth = 5 data chips
Additionally, a daily visit to the Kage app brings 1000 data tokens
Additional Data Chip collection capabilities will be introduced in upcoming updates:
For sharing information about Kage on social media
For inviting your friends to join Kage
In the alpha version prior to TGE Kage, we will reward the top leaderboard participants twice:
- The first distribution of $CHIRP tokens will take place shortly after TGE from a pool specifically dedicated to all Chirp reward activities prior to TGE, which equals $3,000,000 $CHIRP for all airdrop campaigns.
- The second distribution of $CHIRP tokens will take place within the main release of Kage, with rewards allocated from an “Ecosystem Growth Pool” of 15% of the total token supply over 10 years.
With the alpha release ahead of TGE, Kage is introducing two leaderboards: Generally AND Within alliances. The Overall leaderboard rewards early adopters of Kage in the pre-TGE alpha phase by tracking cumulative progress since the start of the game.
When will the main release of Kage be released, a Round system will be introduced and the third leaderboard – Round leaderboard – will be added. This leaderboard resets at the start of each fresh round, ensuring fairness and giving everyone a fresh chance to compete for $CHIRP prizes each round.
The Overall leaderboard will continue to track progress since the pre-launch alpha launch of TGE. In addition to rewarding early adopters during the alpha phase, it will also offer exclusive benefits to top participants after the main release.
More details about these rewards will be made available soon.
All $CHIRP Reward operations are managed via Chirp Platform desktop version at app.chirpwireless.io.
To be able to claim the $CHIRP rewards that will be sent to you after TGE, connect your Sui wallet via Chirp Platform (detailed guide).
Players can track how many rewards are available to claim directly in the app Kage game.
Shortly after the launch of the alpha version before TGE Kage, a constant in-game campaign, Wings of Chronoswill be launched. This campaign will send players on a hunt for scarce items called Feathershidden in various cities around the world. These Feathers come in two forms: Bluetooth-enabled physical items and NFTs. Players can earn tokens by locating physical items, while NFTs provide unique in-game bonuses and additional rewards.
The campaign will launch in Europe and gradually expand across the globe, inviting players from all over the world to join the Kage experience. More information about Wings of Chronos the challenge will be released soon.
With Kage, you’re not just playing a mobile game – you’re actively contributing to the next frontier of IoT and decentralized infrastructure. The journey has only just begun, and more features and challenges are on the horizon.
