## App Features

### <mark style="color:blue;">LIVE Surge Events</mark>

Check the main Dashboard for LIVE surge events.&#x20;

> **Phase 1 Note**: The Referral & Points Program was part of Uplink's early community growth phase and has wrapped up. All points earned during this period are recorded and are always accessible through your account. Watch the Roadmap for Phase 2 details. \[View [Litepaper roadmap](https://litepaper.uplink.xyz/litepaper/roadmap-phases) →]

### <mark style="color:blue;">Interactive Explorer</mark>

View all coverage and Surge locations globally from within the app. Watch the network grow and find areas where the community can still map router connections.

### <mark style="color:blue;">Networks</mark>

Manage all your registered routers — view last-connected times and general router info, and delete routers if needed.

> **Note**: Deleting a router permanently removes it and all associated points earned during Phase 1 from the platform. You can re-register the network at any time, but no points will be earned for doing so.

### <mark style="color:blue;">My Account</mark>&#x20;

This where you can access the general settings of your account. It consists of the following information:

* **Profile information** - this allows you to edit your name and country. Nickname, email, and avatar updates will be available at a later date.&#x20;
* **Terms of Service** & **Privacy Policy**
* **Delete Account** & **Logout**&#x20;
