GIANT is the Global Internet Access Network Token

Connectivity as a New Asset Class

Buy, sell, trade connectivity contracts globally

GIANT. Welcome to the connectivity economy.

GIANT turns bandwidth into a globally tradable digital asset. We spend $2T annually on connectivity, yet inefficiencies in bandwidth markets mean 25% of capacity goes underutilized. GIANT creates liquid markets for bandwidth through a decentralized, community-owned set of protocols on the blockchain. Bandwidth becomes the financial primitive of new consumer and enterprise applications with bandwidth as the unit of value, for example bandwidth as a form of payment, bandwidth as collateral, and enterprise financial markets for spot bandwidth contracts and their derivatives.

One internet for all

We see internet access as a basic human right. An Internet that works for everyone can only be built together. GIANT was started from a desire to support the people in the world that are building the internet that this world needs.

One internet for all

The UN has declared internet access as a basic human right. Bandwidth is a global, durable resource yet it’s greatly underutilized. An Internet that works for everyone can only be built together. GIANT was started from a desire to support the people in the world that are building the internet that this world needs.

GIANT is the
Global Internet Access Network Token

GIANT provides consumers greater choice, convenience, and value when going online. It enables connectivity providers to attract and retain subscribers, and generate incremental returns from their capital investments. It enables developers to build new applications with bandwidth as the financial primitive. GIANT creates a connectivity economy that is open to all, seamless, and secure by design, supported by a cryptographic token and governed by the community.

Technology

DApps

DApps are applications built on top of the protocol to provide stakeholders with intuitive ways to access new services with tokenized bandwidth as a financial primitive.

Protocols

Teller, Connectivity, and Yield protocols are a set of open, trust-minimized protocols that coordinate, tokenize, and financialize bandwidth. Read more about the protocols in our whitepaper here.

Native Blockchain

The native blockchain acts as a Decentralized Internet Access Layer by aggregating fragmented infrastructure networks into one network purpose-built for the connectivity economy.

Infrastructure

Existing connectivity networks and community-owned networks tokenize and financialize their existing and future bandwidth capacity to access decentralized connectivity and financial services on the blockchain.
