# How are WMTx and World Mobile linked?

### World Mobile: Network

The World Mobile network is enabled by World Mobile nodes:

* **AetherNodes** connect to existing legacy telecommunications networks.
* [<mark style="color:purple;">**EarthNodes**</mark>](/docs/network/what-is-an-earthnode.md) are used to validate and secure the network.
* [<mark style="color:purple;">**AirNodes**</mark>](/docs/network/what-is-an-airnode.md) provide connectivity and Internet access to the end-user.

People or communities will be able to purchase an AirNode from World Mobile to connect their local communities to the Internet, or they can simply build their own.

### World Mobile Token: Sharing Economy

World Mobile Token (WMTx) is the utility token that powers the World Mobile network.

AirNode and EarthNode Operators will earn WMTx rewards from the transaction fees paid by people using the network and as inflation rewards.

Transaction fees are paid to EarthNode Operators in WMTx. In turn, operators can then share these rewards with WMTx stakers who delegate their tokens to the EarthNodes.
