Breaking: Dabba Network Revolutionizes Indian Internet Access
In a groundbreaking development for Web3 infrastructure, Dabba Network has secured over $5 million in funding to deploy a revolutionary decentralized wireless network across India. The project aims to bridge critical connectivity gaps in the world’s fifth-largest economy through an innovative DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) marketplace.
With over 11,000 Dabba Lite hotspots already sold and serving 77,000+ connected devices, the network is demonstrating strong early adoption signals that could reshape India’s internet landscape.
Key Network Metrics
- Daily Data Transfer: 50-60 TB
- Average Per Hotspot: 13 GB daily
- Active Devices: 77,000+
- Deployed Hotspots: 4,500+
- Total Sold: 11,000+ units
Revolutionary Token Model
The upcoming Dabba Token (DBT) launch on Solana in Q2 2025 introduces a unique economic model combining both inflationary and deflationary mechanisms. The total supply of 10 billion DBT will be strategically distributed to incentivize network growth:
- 36% – Hotspot Owners (3.6B DBT)
- 18% – WiFi Dabba Inc. (1.8B DBT)
- 18% – Local Cable Operators (1.8B DBT)
- 13.54% – Dabba Foundation (1.35B DBT)
- 8.46% – Investors (845.6M DBT)
Market Impact Analysis
As a Layer 0 DePIN project, Dabba Network’s success could catalyze significant growth in India’s Web3 ecosystem. The project has already facilitated the deployment of 800+ WeatherXM stations, demonstrating its potential as foundational infrastructure for other decentralized services.
Industry experts predict this model could accelerate India’s digital transformation while creating new opportunities for global DePIN investors. The project’s demand-led deployment strategy and integration with existing infrastructure providers positions it uniquely in the market.
Future Developments
Dabba’s roadmap includes several ambitious initiatives:
- Launch of Dabba Pro for enhanced IoT capabilities
- Development of Dabba Laser for high-speed backhaul
- Implementation of DBT staking mechanisms
- Creation of a developer ecosystem and dApp store
