How it works
Break-even = device cost ÷ daily net earnings (after monthly costs). Token price changes everything — the numbers above assume today's price. If the token doubles, your break-even cuts in half. If it drops 50%, it doubles.
FAQ
It depends on the device cost, daily earnings, and token price. A $99 DIMO Macaron R1 at $0.80/day breaks even in about 4 months. A $600 Hivemapper at $2/day takes about 10 months. Use the calculator above with your own numbers.
Yes — DIMO requires a hardware device plugged into your car's OBD-II port. The Macaron R1 is the cheapest entry point at ~$99. There's no software-only way to earn DIMO tokens.
Token price. DePIN rewards are paid in the project's native token, and those prices can swing dramatically. A 50% drop in token price doubles your break-even time. Only spend what you're willing to lose.
