# Gavedu Token (GVDT)

GVDT is the coordination token of the Gavedu DePIN network. It lives on the **Base blockchain (an Ethereum Layer-2)** — Gavedu is a token on Base, not its own separate chain.

* **Network:** Base (Ethereum Layer-2)
* **Token contract:** `0x231fABEf034df3465cDA908a1cab9F942e46cB07`
* **Total supply:** 100,000,000,000 GVDT (100 Billion) — fixed, non-mintable

## The one thing every investor must understand

There are **two different things** in the Gavedu app, and keeping them separate is the whole point:

|                        | Reward **points** (for consumers)                        | The **GVDT token** (for operators & investors) |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| Where it lives         | Inside the app database (off-chain)                      | On the Base blockchain (on-chain)              |
| Who uses it            | Everyday Wi-Fi users                                     | Node operators and investors                   |
| Life                   | Earned by watching ads, **burned** when internet is used | Fixed 100B supply, held / staked / vested      |
| Wallet & gas           | None needed                                              | Standard on-chain                              |
| Effect on token supply | **None** — never minted on-chain                         | Governed by the fixed tokenomics               |

This separation is the guarantee that everyday consumer activity can never dilute what operators and investors hold: the free-internet economy runs entirely on off-chain points, while the on-chain GVDT supply stays fixed.
