Breaking: Dabba Network Revolutionizes Indian Internet Access with Groundbreaking DePIN Model
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 through an innovative DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) marketplace model powered by its native DBT token.
Key Highlights:
- Over 11,000 Dabba Lite hotspots sold globally for deployment in India
- Network currently serves 77,000+ connected devices with 4,500+ active hotspots
- Daily data transfer reaches 50-60TB across the network
- Strategic partnerships with Animoca Brands Japan and WeatherXM
Innovative DePIN Model Transforms Internet Access
Dabba’s approach revolutionizes traditional ISP models by coordinating multiple stakeholders through a token-incentivized marketplace. The network leverages India’s existing 150,000+ Local Cable Operators (LCOs) while introducing global investment through hotspot ownership opportunities.
Token Economics and Incentive Structure
The upcoming DBT token launch on Solana in Q2 2025 will feature:
- 10 billion maximum token supply
- 40% allocation to core team and investors
- 60% distributed to network participants over 50 years
- Daily rewards for hotspot owners and network contributors
Market Impact and Future Outlook
As a Layer 0 DePIN project, Dabba Network is positioned to become a crucial infrastructure layer for Web3 adoption in India. The successful deployment of 800+ WeatherXM stations demonstrates the network’s potential to support multiple DePIN applications simultaneously.
With nearly half of India’s population still offline and data consumption doubling since 2019, Dabba’s market timing appears optimal for rapid expansion. The project’s demand-led deployment model and partnership with existing telecom infrastructure providers suggest a sustainable path to scaling.
