Townhall #21 covered Dabba’s transition to a full-fledged telco. The target is 1 million hotspots in the next 12 months.

It also covered network growth metrics, on-chain progress, and tokenomics refinements ahead of TGE.

***

### Network Growth

Network fundamentals continue growing independently of market conditions.

* 12 months ago: \~2,000 deployments, \~10,000 daily active users, \~$12K monthly revenue
* Today: 100,000+ hotspots deployed, rapid growth in DAUs and recurring revenue
* Strong LCO onboarding pipeline (200+ partners queued)
* Over the coming 12 months: push toward 1 million connections and top-10 ISP category in India

### Onchain Update

* All operational data reflected on-chain
* Messari dashboard launched for third-party validation: <https://messari.io/dashboards/dabba-network>
* Current revenue reflects lump-sum payments (3/6/12-month plans) counted upfront
* Next update will spread payments across the subscription period for accurate monthly breakdowns

### Tokenomics Evolution

* Shift from a data-credit model to a revenue-based burn framework and mainnet rewards
* Revise Day 1 unlock for all stakeholders
* Discuss details over upcoming tokenomics-focused townhalls
* Rewards generated by unclaimed locations held in an independent wallet managed by the Foundation
* Tokens used for community and network growth initiatives
  * May include hotspot purchase incentives
  * May include staking rewards for existing holders

***

### Closing Notes and Takeaway

2026 is a build year. Scale and execution matter more than hype.

Growth is the north star. Tokenomics will evolve to support long-term infrastructure scale. Community feedback will shape the final structure. A proposal is expected over Townhall 23.
