What is it?
An SDK that provides alternative monetization
Spider Proxy Network
Users may join Spider P2P Proxy Network and contribute routing resources when not using their device.
Friendly
Routing only when the user is idle, has at least 60% battery, or is on external power. We prefer to use WiFi. The SDK may use very limited cellular data.
Full transparency
Users choose between plans for your service: subscription service, ad-based service, or free usage in return for sharing resources.
How does it work?

Add this statement to the play store description: 'Your use of [PUBLISHER'S APP] is free of charge in exchange for safely using some of your device's resources (WiFi and very limited cellular data), and only when you are not using your device.
