PM-WANI, reimagined with blockchain

Gavedu integrates India's PM-WANI public WiFi framework with blockchain to create a next-generation, ad-sponsored internet access model.

Under PM-WANI, anyone can become a Public Data Office (PDO) and offer public WiFi. Gavedu adds an ad-sponsored, tokenized layer on top: users earn GVDT tokens by engaging with advertisements, and redeem them for internet access. This enhances the monetization potential for PDOs while keeping connectivity affordable and incentivized for users.

How Gavedu integrates with PM-WANI

  • Ad-sponsored access — users watch relevant ads to earn internet credits, no upfront cost.
  • Blockchain-based rewards — engagement and rewards are recorded transparently and settle in GVDT on Base.
  • Higher PDO earnings — operators monetize footfall through advertising and recharges, not just data fees.
  • Verifiable infrastructure — deployed nodes are attested on-chain via the node registry.

Why it matters

The result is a self-sustaining connectivity model that bridges the digital divide: free or low-cost internet for users, real income for operators, and measurable, verifiable reach for advertisers.

Be part of the network

Whether you host a hotspot, secure the chain, or advertise — there's a role for you.
