- The coin aims to be a major currency all around the world for mobile data amidst the users and Telcos.
- DENT also enables the automated buying capability of data packages for users and IoT devices.
Tokenomics
DENT Wireless is based on the Ethereum blockchain and DENT tokens can be purchased inside the mobile app via leading Cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, BNB, and PayPal (where available).
