Question 1

What is CHIRP?

Accepted Answer

CHIRP is the token of Chirp DePIN. Chirp is a community-built Internet of Things physical infrastructure network that aims to connect devices through multiple wireless standards and support location-related services. Here, DePIN means that the network’s physical facilities are not deployed entirely by a single operator: individuals can deploy gateways and provide real-world signal data, while the network uses tokens to incentivize those contributions. CHIRP is used in this ecosystem for network operations, data trading, and governance.

Question 2

What is CHIRP used for in the network?

Accepted Answer

CHIRP is officially positioned to support Chirp’s network operations, data trading, and governance. In other words, it serves as the token layer across devices and network services, data usage, and community governance. CHIRP should be distinguished from Data Credits. Official materials state that Data Credits are prepaid credits for network use, such as connecting to LTE; meanwhile, the documentation indicates that interactions such as device registration, accessing network services, or claiming rewards drive token circulation in the ecosystem. They are not the same concept.

Question 3

How can I participate in the Chirp network through a gateway?

Accepted Answer

Gateway participants (Keepers) deploy Blackbird low-power ground gateways and continuously maintain their operation to expand Chirp’s network coverage. Gateways form the network’s mesh infrastructure and can support multiple radio protocols. A key part of participating is not merely purchasing or connecting a device: the gateway must be configured and kept online to provide network services. Official troubleshooting guidance explicitly instructs users to check wallet connection, gateway online status, and whether reward conditions are met when rewards have not arrived; network outages, power interruptions, and environmental factors can all affect availability.

Question 4

How do data contributors earn CHIRP?

Accepted Answer

Data contributors can scan wireless signals in real-world environments through Kage’s “Walk, Scan, and Earn” approach, including Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and cellular-network signals; this data is used to expand Chirp’s geolocation database. These contributions enhance location capabilities, thereby supporting indoor navigation, low-power tracking, and other applications that depend on real-world location data. Official materials state that this experience incentivizes users to collect real-world signal data, but the listed sources do not provide a specific reward formula or fixed return.

Question 5

What is CHIRP's supply?

Accepted Answer

CHIRP has a total supply of 300 million tokens. The “37.3 million tokens in circulation” also provided in the official FAQ is explicitly a figure at the time of the token generation event (TGE), not an ongoing statement of the current circulating supply. Total supply describes the overall supply basis for the token; TGE circulating supply only states the amount that had entered circulation at that time. The two cannot be used interchangeably, and they cannot be used to infer specific later unlocks or the current circulating amount.

Question 6

Which blockchain network does CHIRP use?

Accepted Answer

CHIRP is a token type on the Sui mainnet. The mainnet type listed on the official links page is 0x1ef4c0b20340b8c6a59438204467ca71e1e7cbe918526f9c2c6c5444517cd5ca::chirp::CHIRP. Before receiving or transferring in CHIRP, confirm that the wallet is on Sui Mainnet and verify the token type; assets with the same name or on different networks do not automatically become equivalent merely because their names are the same.
