🌐 What Is GIANT Protocol?

GIANT (Global Internet Access Network Token) is a Web3 project aiming to tokenize global bandwidth, turning internet/data access into a tradable, collateralized digital asset. It enables connectivity providers, developers, and consumers to participate in a new “connectivity economy” using staking, bandwidth-as-payment, and decentralized protocols

Founded in 2021‑2017 (sources variably list these years) and based in New York, it has developed infrastructure protocols, DApps, and liquidity incentives for its ecosystem. The project launched testnet in late 2021 and aimed for mainnet rollout in 2022 PitchBook.

✅ What It Means for Investors

GIANT is venture-backed but still early-stage, with only a $5 M capital raise on record.

Investors are industry-specific blockchain VCs, not major top-tier firms like a16z.

No public Strategic or Series A funding after 2021—so project may need further capital validation.

If you're evaluating GIANT, most institutional due diligence occurred in late 2021. Any post‑2021 growth likely hinges on ecosystem traction rather than new VC rounds.
