The auto industry is outdated. Letโs upgrade it together.
DIMO is the largest user-owned connected vehicle network. When you add a vehicle, you start building a valuable digital twin that can be used with any app or service on the network.
Weโre putting drivers back in control.
The

Happy Birthday, DIMO! ๐
1 year ago today, DIMO Mainnet launched and began a road trip toward the worldโs first decentralized, open, connected vehicle network.
In honor of the anniversary, here's some interesting stats from the data being produced by DIMO cars around the world.
This time last year, there were about 4,000 vehicles on DIMO.
Fast forward to today, and the number of cars has gone 10x. This week, the total number of vehicles connected to the DIMO Network surpassed 40,000. ๐
Time is running out to be one of the first 50,000...
The DIMO Network has crossed the milestone of 30,000 vehicles connected! ๐คฏ
With the launch of the Macaron, we're seeing more users onboarding then ever.
Tesla connection growth on the DIMO Network has entered Ludicrous+ mode!
There are now over 10,000 Tesla vehicles connected to the DIMO network, each one linked using the free-of-charge software connection option which requires no extra DIMO hardware.
๐ก๏ธ 80k vehicles protecting their data
๐ก 80k vehicles as nodes on the roads
โ๏ธ 80k vehicles resisting automotive centralization
The roadtrip to a better car industry has only just begun. Buckle up and join the 80,000+ vehicles with digital twins on DIMO Network.

This latest
#DePIN
101 from
@CoinGecko
is the ultimate overview on the rise of distributed infrastructure.
They argue that "current systems are grossly centralized" and DePIN returns control back to users in a new sort of "industrial class DAO".
Phones & computers have VPNs, adblockers, robust privacy customization, and encrypted apps, all because users have realized their data is valuable.
Cars are way behind, but DIMO is building tools to help drivers approach vehicle ownership in the same way.
Reminder: modern cars are highly networked computers and are a privacy nightmare.
Very under-explored sector for privacy improvements. Some "fancy ZK" but also some plain boring "collect and track less stuff please".
DIMO is a grassroots movement ๐ฑ
A global mobility network would not be possible or trusted if it was controlled by a centralized, corporate entity. Blockchain is the only solution that ensures power stays with the drivers and isn't monopolized by car manufacturers.
