(DIMO)
Key data
updated $0None (DIMO) is the native token of the DIMO network, a decentralized platform that lets drivers collect and share data from their own vehicles and get rewarded for it. Think of it as a way for car owners to turn telemetry — mileage, battery health, location patterns — into a monetizable asset, while apps and insurers access verified data with the owner's permission. The token, tickered DIMO, powers payments and incentives across this ecosystem.
Frequently asked questions
What is DIMO and how is it different from other crypto projects?
DIMO is a DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) project focused on connected vehicles. Instead of mining power or storage, users contribute real-world car data through a connected device or API and earn DIMO tokens. What makes it stand out is that the data belongs to the driver, not to a corporation — you choose who can access it and get paid for sharing it.
How does the DIMO network work technically?
Drivers connect their vehicles via a hardware device or the manufacturer's API, and the data flows into the DIMO protocol where it's verified and standardized. The project has been building on Polygon, a proof-of-stake network, which keeps transactions cheap and fast. Access to the data is managed through permissions, so third parties like insurers or fleet apps can only see what the owner explicitly allows.
How is DIMO's token supply and emission structured?
DIMO has a hard cap of 1,000,000,000 coins, so no more tokens will ever be created beyond that limit. The supply is distributed across user rewards, the team, investors, and the treasury, with rewards for drivers and developers making up a significant share. Emissions follow a set schedule, gradually releasing tokens into circulation over time.
Where can you store and use DIMO tokens?
Since DIMO is an ERC-20 token on Polygon, any wallet that supports Polygon works — MetaMask, Rabby, or hardware wallets like Ledger. Beyond holding, tokens are used to pay for data access in the ecosystem, participate in governance decisions, and can be earned by simply driving with the DIMO app or device connected. Like any crypto asset, it can also be traded on exchanges that list it.
