Townhall #21
Date: February 11, 2026
Focus: Dabba telco vision (1M hotspots), tokenomics evolution & road to TGE
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.
