Wifi Dabba is a verified Y Combinator (W17) alumni project building a decentralized wireless network (DePIN) in India using Free Space Optics (lasers) and the Solana blockchain. While the submission claims exaggerated reach ('most people'), external verification confirms the deployment of over 11,000 hotspots and significant hardware sales (~$2M+ GMV). The project demonstrates high technical innovation and real-world utility in a high-demand market, though the submission quality was extremely poor. The score reflects verifiable traction balanced against the unprofessional submission data.
