Dabba Network, a decentralized wireless infrastructure provider, has announced a strategic partnership with BONK, a prominent community-driven project on the Solana blockchain. This collaboration aims to expand internet connectivity in underserved areas by deploying 10,000 Dabba Lite hotspots reserved for the BONK community. Each hotspot will burn $20 worth of BONK tokens upon activation, with an additional $2 worth of BONK tokens burned monthly for 18 months per hotspot.

This partnership combines Dabba's mission to enhance internet access with BONK's strong community engagement. The initiative highlights how decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs) can collaborate with community-driven projects to create real-world impact. With 600 million people in India and around 3 billion globally lacking internet access, Dabba aims to significantly reduce this number. By leveraging BONK's grassroots enthusiasm and Dabba's connectivity solutions, the partnership demonstrates the practical applications of blockchain technology beyond financial services.

Decentralized physical infrastructure network projects often face high barriers to entry for average users. However, Dabba's hotspots are affordably priced at $299, including onboarding fees. This, combined with BONK's accessibility, creates a seamless entry point for community members to participate in building critical infrastructure while supporting the BONK ecosystem. The initiative aligns with BONK DAO's vision for creating positive global impact through practical utility, using the tagline #bonktheinternet to engage community members in expanding internet access.

The partnership will unfold through multiple community touchpoints following the initial announcement at the Solana Summit. A dedicated microsite will launch on April 5, 2025, where community members can purchase hotspots with BONK at a discount. Galxe quests will promote community participation, and interactive events such as "Deep in DePIN" X Spaces, podcast appearances, and community town halls will be organized.

content will also highlight the impact of decentralized infrastructure.

This collaboration represents a win-win model where infrastructure development directly benefits token holders. As Dabba hotspots provide internet connectivity where it's needed most, the regular burning of BONK tokens creates sustainable value for the community. The partnership builds on BONK's history of strategic collaborations, showcasing how meme-inspired projects can contribute to tangible global development through decentralized technologies.

Dabba Network is focused on expanding internet connectivity in underserved areas, particularly in India, through community-owned hotspots and innovative deployment models. The network employs a managed deployment approach that allows individuals to contribute to expanding connectivity while earning rewards. Through its Dabba Lite hotspots and comprehensive ecosystem, the project aims to bridge the digital divide while demonstrating the practical benefits of Web3 technology in solving real-world challenges.
