Introducing Dabba: India's biggest DePin

5TB a day was already a amazing start to begin with, how is the rate of data consumption increasing rapidly?

Even if i live in Europe? I thought you needed to live in India to be able to purchase & run one?

Great questions!

  1. After TGE, our goal is to follow a system that balances performance and UBI in the begining and then slowly go towards entirely performance. To put it concretely, immediately after TGE, 90% of rewards a distributed to all hotspots owners and 10% is distributed based on performance of hotspot. This will change over time to less UBI and more performance based on how things go.

  2. 100K hotspots is easily achievable with the support of the community. There are hundreds of LCOs we can get on board fairly quick to make this happen. The demand is there, supply just needs to catch up.

  3. LCOs are initially being onboarded through a referral system via existing LCOs we know. But we have a minimum benchmark of they need to have been in business for a few years, have a good rep with their customers, minimum no,. of customers, etc. We’ll publish a doc soon that illustrates this process.

That’s right! we follow a managed deployment model, that means that when you purchase a hotspot, it’s deployed for you in India, ensuring there is a paying customer accessing your device

Individual user data consumption on our network has remained relatively consistent since launch. We have been maintaining a steady 95% uptime and a daily average of 5TB data consumption (now increased to 6-7 TB daily).

This increase in rate of data consumption has been primarily attributed to the influx of new users adopting our service as their primary internet provider.

I am profoundly inspired by the monumental potential that WiFi Dabba’s DePIN approach brings to the forefront, particularly in a country like India, where the digital divide still leaves millions disconnected. This isn’t just a technological innovation—it’s a gateway to a brighter future, where the next Srinivasa Ramanujan or Good Will Hunting might emerge from an overlooked village or an underserved suburb.

WiFi Dabba is already proving that this vision is more than just a dream. With over 1,500 hotspots deployed and 20,000 active data consumers, the groundwork has been laid for a decentralized, community-driven network that can revolutionize internet access not just in India, but across the globe. By empowering local cable operators to act as micro-ISPs, Dabba taps into the existing infrastructure and local expertise to create a scalable, resilient model that can rapidly expand to connect those who need it most.

Imagine the possibilities: a young student in a remote Indian village gaining access to educational resources that propel them to become a world-class mathematician, a hidden genius who, without this connection, might never have been discovered. Picture a small-town coder accessing global opportunities and becoming the next tech innovator, transforming their community and inspiring others to follow. This is the kind of human potential that Dabba’s network can unlock, making the internet a true equalizer, rather than a privilege of the few.

Building on Solana ensures that this network will be scalable and efficient, ready to support the mass adoption that we all hope to see. The upcoming token launch and the ambitious goal of deploying 100,000 hotspots in the first year demonstrate not only the feasibility but the urgency of this mission. By supporting the launch of Dabba on the Jupiter platform, we are not just backing a project—we are investing in a future where untapped talent and hidden brilliance can be unearthed from every corner of the world.

This is more than just connectivity; it’s about empowering the next generation of thinkers, creators, and leaders. The impact of Dabba could indeed be planetary, bringing forth a wave of innovation and progress that benefits all of humanity. I fully support enabling this launch, as it represents a critical step towards a more equitable and connected world.

Let’s come together to ensure that the next Ramanujan or Good Will Hunting has the tools they need to shine.

Well said @Ironbridge and great to see you here!

India is in the top 5 of pretty much every economic statistic, 5th largest economy, 2nd highest internet users etc etc. And this is achieved despite nearly 50% of our population not having internet access! A nations GDP is directly tied to access of information, contributing to the growth of connectivity means great things for our nation. Exciting times ahead!
