DePIN, or Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks, leverage blockchain and decentralization to support the maintenance and implementation of physical networks. DePIN spans diverse use cases including energy infrastructure, digital storage, sensors for MRV processes, and wireless internet.
DePIN allows for community ownership of infrastructure that is traditionally centralized.
With DePIN, all actions are recorded onchain, ensuring open access to vital network data,
By leveraging underutlized resources & smart contracts, DePIN can reduce waste & administrative overhead.
DePIN could fundamentally change how infrastructure is built, maintained, and owned. By empowering individuals and communities, DePIN is driving the next wave of decentralization and transforming physical networks into collective assets for the common good.
Decentralized global network of wireless hotspots where participants get rewarded in $HNT tokens for setting up a hotspot.
Decentralized renewable energy network that enables individuals and orgs to contribute excess renewable energy to a global network.
Decentralized storage network where users can offer up spare storage capacity on their devices in exchange for $FIL tokens.
“We are only scratching the surface of what decentralized networks can do...The concept of community-owned networks and the democratization of access could significantly impact data sovereignty and bring connectivity to underserved areas.”
