Use Case: PM-WANI Framework

The role of GVDT within PM-WANI

Gavedu deploys PM-WANI-compliant public Wi-Fi hotspots across India and settles their economics with the GVDT utility token on Base. The goal is simple: make broadband internet access through public Wi-Fi effectively free for users, while giving the people who host the hardware a real, verifiable stake in the network.

Ad-sponsored internet

Gavedu hotspots replace the traditional recharge-based model with an ad-sponsored internet mechanism. 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. This democratizes access while giving hosts a sustainable way to monetize their infrastructure.

What GVDT does

• Represents the PDO's stake in the hardware. Buying a hotspot grants a matching value of GVDT that vests over 24 months, conditioned on real uptime.

• Powers the free-access loop. Consumers earn off-chain reward points by engaging with ads and spend them for minutes of broadband access; the points are burned on use and never touch the on-chain supply.

• Funds expansion. Investor staking on Base directly finances the deployment of new physical nodes.

Collaboration with PDOs

Gavedu works with PDOs to deliver free or affordable connectivity, aligned with the goals of India's National Digital Communications Policy, 2018 (NDCP). PDOs operate Gavedu PM-WANI access points backed by Gavedu's cloud network infrastructure, delivering seamless broadband to subscribers without heavy upfront cost — bridging the digital divide and empowering local communities.
