DIMO token
Overview
DIMO is a decentralized protocol that enables users to collect, own, and monetize their vehicle data through a connected hardware device. It operates as a DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) where drivers earn DIMO tokens for sharing data used by third-party applications. The platform serves as a data marketplace for vehicle telemetry. The DIMO token originally launched on Polygon and, following a 2024-2025 governance decision, is migrating to Base, where it is now available.
Within the DeFi Intel graph, DIMO connects to 4 tracked entities, most strongly to DIMO, Polygon, DIMO.

Frequently asked questions
What is DIMO?
DIMO is a decentralized network that allows vehicle owners to collect and control their car data via a hardware device, earning tokens in return. The data is used by developers to build connected-car applications.
What does the DIMO token do?
The DIMO token is used as an incentive for drivers to share vehicle data and can also serve as a governance token for protocol decisions. It powers the data marketplace ecosystem.
How does DIMO collect vehicle data?
DIMO uses a dedicated hardware miner that plugs into a vehicle's OBD-II port to capture telemetry such as speed, location, and engine diagnostics. The data is then encrypted and stored on-chain or decentralized storage.
What is DIMO connected to?
In the DeFi Intel knowledge graph, DIMO is linked to 4 other tracked entities, most strongly to DIMO, Polygon, DIMO.
