## Products

- [Dabba Network](https://thegrid.id/profiles/dabba): Implements a decentralized marketplace on Solana blockchain connecting connectivity providers and users through WiFi hotspots. The system integrates local cable operators, hotspot owners, and end users through smart contracts, while managing hardware deployment and bandwidth distribution. (DePin, Live, Main Product)
- [Dabba Lite Hotspot](https://thegrid.id/profiles/dabba): Hardware device for the Dabba Network designed for WiFi connectivity deployment across India. The system enables internet access through standardized protocols while integrating with the Dabba Network's tokenized incentive structure. The hardware features MT762AT processor architecture supporting multiple IEEE WiFi standards through a compact form factor. The system automates network reporting through regular heartbeat signals while facilitating bandwidth management and user authentication. (DePin, Live)

## Assets

- [DBT (DBT)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/dabba): DBT is the utility token of Dabba Network, a decentralized WiFi infrastructure network operating on Solana. It is used to reward connectivity providers who build and maintain the network, and to pay for internet data consumption. The network uses a burn-and-mint model where users burn DBT to acquire data credits, creating deflationary pressure as the network grows while ensuring bandwidth is priced at a stable rate.
