Townhall #20
Date: January 16, 2026
Focus: Bringing the network on-chain, growth & upcoming milestones
Townhall #20 covered key developments in bringing Dabba’s operational data fully on-chain. It also covered improvements to visibility and tooling, growth impact for LCOs, and upcoming milestones.
Onchain Data & Transparency Goal
Publish full network data on-chain. Make it verifiable and queryable by anyone.
Iteration 2 of the Open Network Data Layer launched. Initial rollout of on-chain data included:
Hotspot Device NFTs
Compressed NFTs used
Bandwidth tracked per epoch (24-hour period) using Merkle trees
WD number to identify unique hardware
Invoice of customer payments
Each device stores references to all five stakeholders that keep the connection live
LCO Partner NFTs
Compressed NFTs used
Stored fields include company name, GST registration identifier, coordinates, network size, wallet info, and links to connections
Compressed data via Merkle trees and PDAs for efficiency
Network data will be live on Solana testnet, followed by mainnet deployment
Onchain Playground
A new GitBook section captures network data on Solana testnet. It lets the community explore and verify data directly.
UI and visualisation improvements are coming. A glossary will clarify technical terms.
Closing Notes and Takeaway
Transparency first: core network data is being brought fully on-chain for independent verification
Structured execution: updates are rolling out in phases to keep on-chain data and tokenomics clear
Real-world impact: success is measured by outcomes for LCOs (subscriber growth, revenue, sustainability)
Explore the MVP playground to understand the network with numbers. This will help refine tokenomics together over the upcoming townhalls.
