Company profile
researched Aug 2026GIANT Protocol is a web3 protocol building what it describes as a decentralized connectivity economy, aiming to decentralize and democratize access to the internet and financial services by tokenizing bandwidth. The protocol is designed as an open-source, public telecommunications layer that lets anyone with a mobile phone access the internet and earn rewards based on their connectivity.
The project's Litepaper set out the components of the system: core connectivity infrastructure, a tokenomic model, and a DAO governance structure managing the protocol, with a non-profit GIANT Protocol Foundation supporting it. The first planned implementation comprised a wallet, consumer software for end users, provider software allowing network providers to offer internet access via GIANT, and validator node software. The company stated it planned to launch the first iteration of its mainnet in the first half of 2022.
