What Is DENT (DENT)?

DENT is a revolutionary digital and global mobile operator that employs blockchain technology to create a global marketplace for mobile data liberalization. According to DENT’s website, the organization’s vision is to facilitate data liberalization while allowing worldwide access to mobile data using e-SIM technology. An e-SIM is a SIM card that is embedded in a mobile device and can connect you to any operator offering e-SIM services. In order to fulfill the process of data liberalization, DENT has developed a global exchange platform that aims to facilitate three major actions:

• Liberation of Mobile Data: This reflects the exchange act as a horizontal marketplace to help develop a data-sharing economy, thus allowing users to donate, trade, or exchange their data with another user.

• Disruption of International Roaming: This reflects that DENT facilitates the removal of expensive data roaming costs, such as routing between telecommunication companies, thus allowing users to enjoy undisrupted internet services while putting the payload on the home telecommunication company of the users.  

• Facilitation of Mobile Data Purchase: The platform seeks to enable automated purchase capability of data packages for consumers and IoT devices like smartphones, smart refrigerators, etc. Thus, users can get the optimum prices from different operators in a region.  

Using these services, DENT seeks to create a global market to liberalize mobile data while providing new opportunities for telecommunication companies in the process.

In order to support this structure of data liberalization and facilitate the smooth functioning of the global exchange platform, DENT launched its cryptocurrency, the DENT token. The DENT token is the worldwide currency for the DENT platform and functions using a smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain. The token works as the powerhouse for the platform and facilitates many different operations for the users on the platform:

• The token can be used for trading data across the DENT exchange.

• The DENT token allows users to participate in the DENT community and use collective power to demand data liberation and changes in the way telecommunication companies do business with mobile data.   

• The DENT token is also used to incentivize users of the platform who download the DENT mobile application to trade and donate mobile data.   

These usages of the DENT token aim to facilitate a smooth working environment for the users on the DENT exchange. Users looking to participate on the DENT platform can acquire these tokens from different marketplaces. The DENT token also seeks to provide opportunities for telecommunication companies to reach out to a global audience in a transparent environment, thus allowing telecommunication companies to also benefit from the platform.
