What are specific DePIN projects and how the tokenomics work?
Here's a quick breakdown of popular DEPIN sectors and some key projects in each one:
- Helium (HNT)
- Crowd-sourced wireless network for IoT devices (LoRaWAN) and now 5G. People deploy hotspots and get rewarded for providing network coverage.
- Pollen Mobile
- Community-built LTE/5G networks. Similar to Helium but focused more on mobile data.
- Akash Network (AKT)
- Decentralized cloud computing marketplace. Think of it like Airbnb for unused server space.
- Render Network (RNDR)
- Distributed GPU rendering power for 3D rendering, VFX, and AI workloads.
- Filecoin (FIL)
- Decentralized storage network where people rent out unused hard drive space.
- Arweave (AR)
- Permanent data storage on-chain. Great for archiving websites, data, etc.
What is DePIN?
DEPIN stands for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network
It refers to projects or networks that use blockchain or decentralized technologies to coordinate, manage, and incentivize the building and maintenance of physical infrastructure in the real world
Why DEPIN? Traditionally, building physical infrastructure (like telecom towers or power grids) requires massive centralized entities (governments, corporations)
DEPIN flips this model by using crypto incentives to get individuals or small entities to deploy and maintain physical infrastructure
The goal is to create a more distributed, efficient, and permissionless way to build the infrastructure we rely on
Participants can earn tokens or rewards for contributing resources like:
- Providing internet coverage with hotspots (Helium)
- Hosting storage devices (Filecoin)
- Contributing compute power (Akash Network)
- Running EV chargers or energy systems
