Purpose of the White Paper
Bhumitat Technologies is a registered App Provider and PDOA (Public Data Office Aggregator) operating within India's PM-WANI framework (DoT registration PMWANI-GUJ-364290-PDOA000004).
This paper introduces the Gavedu PM-WANI public Wi-Fi network and the GVDT utility token that powers its economics on the Base Layer-2 blockchain.
Gavedu hotspots run on an ad-sponsored internet model instead of the traditional recharge-based system: end users get internet for free by engaging with sponsored ads, and the PDOs who host the hardware earn a share of that ad economy.
How it works
PDOs own the hardware. A PDO buys a Gavedu PM-WANI hotspot and, in return, receives a matching value of GVDT that vests on-chain over time, conditioned on the node actually staying online.
Consumers earn free access. Users engage with ad content at the Wi-Fi login and receive off-chain reward points.
Points buy connectivity. Those points are spent for minutes of broadband access, then burned once the time is used.
Crucially, consumer reward points live off-chain in the application database and are burned on use — they never mint on-chain tokens, so everyday user activity can never dilute the fixed GVDT supply.
Gavedu collaborates with PDOs to deliver free or affordable connectivity, advancing the goals of India's National Digital Communications Policy, 2018 (NDCP).
