## What DNT (district0x) Is

DNT is the ERC-20 governance token of district0x, a platform launched in February 2017 by Joe Urgo and Matus Lestan that lets anyone deploy their own decentralized marketplace or community ("district") on Ethereum, governed by a DAO. The technology stack runs on Ethereum (hosting transactions via smart contracts), Aragon (the DAO governance layer), and IPFS (decentralized hosting of frontend code and content) [[2]](https://blockchainreporter.net/district0x-price-prediction-is-dnt-coin-waiting-for-a-bearish-bloodbath/). DNT is staked into a district to obtain voting rights over governance decisions (features, fees, direction) and to help curate the District Registry [[2]](https://blockchainreporter.net/district0x-price-prediction-is-dnt-coin-waiting-for-a-bearish-bloodbath/)[[3]](https://blockchainreporter.net/district0x-price-prediction-is-dnt-coin-waiting-for-a-bearish-bloodbath/). It sits on the Ethereum network with a fixed max supply of 1 billion tokens [DOC-3].

## Recent Catalysts (last ~1–3 months)

This is the weakest part of the available record, and I will flag that honestly.
