Townhall #19
Date: 9 January 2026
Focus: Q1 roadmap leading up to TGE
Townhall #19 set the 2026 plan to move every meaningful network metric on-chain before TGE.
2025 Recap
Hotspots deployed: 3,000 → 75,000 over 2025; targeting 1M by 2026
Daily active users: grew proportionately with each connection, increasing network revenue to 500k+ over 30 day billing cycles
Community growth within and beyond traditional DePIN circles, with partners across web3 sectors and IRL events across Breakpoint, Token 2049, Solana Summit, and more
Moving the Network Onchain
As we plan the revised TGE, we are pushing the network on-chain with community feedback. This makes key metrics transparent and verifiable.
A demo of the Hotspot Device NFT on devnet was presented.
Each location on ground will be represented on-chain with an NFT
Compressed NFT standard to reduce costs for millions of connections
Each NFT will link to key metrics like:
Broadband consumption per epoch, verifiable on-chain
Registry data connecting all stakeholders keeping connections live
WD number for unique hardware identification and replacement/repair tracking
Customer invoice details showcasing payment plans
What’s coming next
Series of on-chain updates planned across January and February
Full rollout of the NFT architecture
Transition from data-consumption to revenue-based model for burn and hotspot owner rewards
Developer ecosystem development now that data is on-chain
Revised TGE rollout plan targeting end of Q1
Hotspot sales closed till tokenomics are revised, with new Genesis rewards structure for future purchase
Explore the devnet Hotspot Device NFTs today. Stay tuned for upcoming townhalls as we shape revised tokenomics based on network growth since inception.
Closing Notes & Takeaway
The north star for 2026 is growth. It’s crucial that all data can be transparently showcased and verified by the community.
The network has grown rapidly since our initial whitepaper. Together we will shape revised tokenomics to reflect sustainable growth aligned with projected expansion.
