Live · checked 27 October 2026

As of 27 October 2026, the DATS Project homepage invites visitors to download the desktop app and keep it open to receive free DATS tokens from their idle bandwidth and CPU. The Medium blog's latest post, from December 2025, announced a $10,000 USDT pool.

Run the DATS Project desktop app on your computer and share idle bandwidth and CPU to earn free DATS tokens, with no purchase needed.

What is DATS Project?

DATS Project is a DePIN (decentralized physical infrastructure) project aimed at cybersecurity. Its site describes an AI-powered, modular SaaS that handles security audit work for Web3 projects and Web2 businesses, and it draws on computing power that ordinary users contribute from their own machines.

The user-facing product is a desktop app. People install it, sign in, and allow it to use idle internet bandwidth and CPU. The project positions this as open to people with no blockchain background, and says it is meant to run on a wide range of devices, older computers included.

The project also describes how income is split: 60% of revenues goes directly to users who contribute resources to the network, and 40% is used to maintain, secure and grow the DATS ecosystem. The project's Medium blog also records earlier community campaigns, called Fairdrop epochs, that ran in 2024.

How DATS Project works

The DATS app turns a computer's spare resources into network capacity. After installation, the project says the app automatically engages in DePIN protocols, using resources such as internet bandwidth and CPU power while limiting the effect on the device's performance. The network supplies computing power to the cybersecurity services the project sells.

Rewards are paid in DATS tokens. The project says the amount depends on the resources you make available, demand in DePIN protocols and market conditions. It also says holders can stake DATS tokens within its ecosystem for additional rewards.

Before this node app, DATS ran point-based community campaigns on its Medium blog. Epoch 5, the Fairdrop campaign, was announced on 13 October 2024 as a campaign where participants earn points. A later post, from December 2025, announced a $10,000 USDT pool. The project's site does not give a fixed reward amount per user, a token launch date or a snapshot date.

The DATS airdrop

The campaign pays free DATS tokens to people who run the DATS desktop app. Anyone can qualify by installing it, signing in with MetaMask or an email address, and giving it idle internet bandwidth and CPU while it stays open. The project does not state a fixed amount per user; it says earnings depend on your available resources and demand.

Step by step: how to get the DATS airdrop

  1. Step 1: Download the DATS desktop app

    Get the installer for your operating system from the DATS download page. The project says installation instructions are given there for each system.

  2. Step 2: Sign in with MetaMask or email

    Open the app and sign in with your MetaMask wallet or an email address. A real airdrop never asks for your seed phrase or private key.

  3. Step 3: Share bandwidth and CPU

    In the app, dedicate your internet bandwidth and CPU to DATS, as the project's homepage describes.

  4. Step 4: Keep the app open

    Leave the app running so it can earn DATS tokens from your resources. The DATS Node App full guide on Medium covers the app in more detail.
