What is a Datagram Network? Gate launches a 6 million Airdrop AI-driven DePIN reveal

Datagram is a global superstructure network designed to support next-generation real-time connected applications and decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN). Gate will launch Datagram Network (DGRAM) spot trading on November 18 at 18:00 (UTC+8), and will airdrop 6 million DGRAM tokens to GT holdings users.

What is Datagram Network? The Revolution of Decentralization Infrastructure

Datagram ($DGRAM) is a decentralized data infrastructure protocol aimed at supporting the next generation of decentralized personal infrastructure networks. The project adopts the BEP-20 token standard with a total supply of 10 billion DGRAM, and the contract address is 0x49c6c91ec839a581de2b882e868494215250ee59. Key features include tracking runtime, routing data, and verifying real-world activities on-chain, with plans to expand to hundreds of millions of devices and data sources worldwide.

Datagram is built from the ground up as an independent blockchain, established on a subnet of Avalanche, introducing a sustainable and efficient alternative to Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS). The platform democratizes access to decentralized infrastructure by abstracting the technical complexities. By unlocking underutilized bandwidth, computation, and storage in the globally distributed network, Datagram supports real-time connection applications and simplifies the deployment of decentralized infrastructure networks.

Imagine scalability similar to AWS, but decentralized. Unlike traditional cloud platforms, Datagram distributes computing, bandwidth, and storage across a global network of independently operating nodes, providing higher security, transparency, and flexibility at significantly reduced costs. The platform has already supported over 200 businesses and 1 million users, serving over 1 million users globally, and supports critical mission applications such as large-scale real-time video conferencing and decentralized AI computing networks.

Three Core Advantages of Datagram

Cost-effectiveness: Reduce operating costs by up to 90% compared to centralized cloud.

AI Driven Optimization: Utilizing intelligent traffic routing, load balancing, and predictive resource allocation

Blockchain Neutrality: Support for deployment across multiple blockchain ecosystems, facilitating seamless cross-chain interoperability.

AI-driven hypernetwork layer revolutionary resource allocation

The supernetwork layer is an AI-driven coordination system of Datagram, responsible for intelligent routing, network optimization, and parallel processing. Unlike traditional networks that rely on static node allocation and predefined traffic distribution, Datagram's supernetwork layer actively manages data flows in real-time, utilizing AI to ensure optimal performance, resource utilization, and fault tolerance.

Essentially, the supernetwork layer acts as an AI controller, dynamically analyzing network activities to determine the most efficient routing path for data transmission. Adaptive traffic routing monitors network conditions and automatically redirects traffic to the most efficient nodes, preventing congestion and ensuring low-latency delivery. Real-time load balancing continuously assesses network status and allocates workloads to available resources to maximize efficiency.

Smart resource allocation through predictive usage patterns enables the system to proactively assign computation, storage, and bandwidth to where they are most needed, preventing bottlenecks. Automated network repair immediately reroutes traffic in the event of node or subnet downtime to prevent service interruptions, ensuring unparalleled uptime and resilience. Large-scale UDP optimization allows Datagram to handle UDP packets on a large scale, making it the only DePIN network capable of supporting real-time applications such as video streaming and gaming.

One of the defining features of the supernetwork layer is its ability to parallel process multiple structured networks based on the Datagram infrastructure. This enables enterprises and DePIN projects to launch their own node networks while still benefiting from the global structure of Datagram, ensuring security, scalability, and seamless integration with other applications.

Core Node Sales and Reward Mechanism

The Datagram core node sales will proceed in stages: the preferred whitelist node sale will start on Sunday, August 10, 2025, at 1:00 PM (UTC), and is available only for preferred whitelist users. The whitelist node sale will start on Monday, August 11, 2025, at 1:00 PM (UTC), and is available only for whitelist users. The public node sale will start on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, at 1:00 PM (UTC), and is available for all users.

The initial quantity limit for the full core node licenses available for purchase is 25,000. There are no plans to expand beyond this allocation for at least 12 months after the node sale starts. This limit is intended to maintain scarcity, promote a healthy ecosystem, and maximize the reward potential for early participants. Full core nodes are the backbone of Datagram performance, creating robust, fault-tolerant data paths and providing rewards to operators who contribute resources.

Node operators are rewarded based on uptime and availability (operators who keep nodes online and responsive can earn rewards, ensuring the network remains stable and reliable), as well as actual usage (nodes that actively contribute resources to support real-time applications will be rewarded according to their level of contribution). Daily, the protocol allocates 0.125% of the potential $DGRAM token supply as rewards, with 50% of the daily emission allocated to all core node operators.

The total maximum supply of $DGRAM is set at 10 billion tokens, with an initial total supply of 5.75 billion tokens (57.5%) at the Token Generation Event (TGE). The vast majority of the allocation (50%) is reserved for the core operators, who are the backbone of the Datagram network. Additionally, 26% of the supply is allocated to liquidity (5%), airdrop (5%), and ecosystem growth programs (16%). 22.5% of the supply is allocated to the team (10%), investors (10%), and advisors (2.5%), as well as 1.5% for KOLs.

Gate Launch and Airdrop Details

Gate will launch Datagram Network (DGRAM) spot trading on November 18, 2025, at 18:00 (UTC+8), with the trading pair DGRAM/USDT. At the same time, the 321st phase of the HODLer Airdrop event will be launched, and this airdrop will distribute 6 million DGRAM tokens to users holding GT. This strategy of launching with a large-scale airdrop provides strong support for DGRAM's initial liquidity and market attention.

Datagram aims to serve three core user groups: Web2 and Web3 businesses (traditional enterprises and blockchain-based projects can access Datagram's decentralized services through simple APIs or SDKs without deep blockchain knowledge); existing DePIN networks (projects with established node infrastructure can integrate with Datagram through Datagram Core Substrate (DCS) to expand their access to more bandwidth, computing, and storage capacity); and new DePIN projects (startups or developers can quickly launch decentralized networks using Datagram's turnkey, ready-to-use infrastructure).

The dedicated nodes of Datagram (referred to as Datagram Core) form the Fabric network layer, enabling seamless low-latency data transmission and verification. The complete core handles high-priority network traffic and contributes to security and stability. Partner cores provide additional computational support and assist with load balancing, traffic routing, and task processing. To ensure continuous network reliability, the Datagram Network Operations Center (NOC) actively monitors the uptime and performance of the nodes, automatically distributing rewards based on the availability and contributions of the node operators.
