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.
