I. Core Value and Market Positioning
1.1 Project Overview
Piggycell is South Korea's first Web3 project to deeply integrate blockchain technology with shared charging infrastructure, reconstructing the ownership, operation, and revenue distribution system of charging stations through DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) and RWA (Real World Asset Tokenization) models.
The project has deployed 13,000 charging stations and 100,000 batteries, covering 90% of South Korea's shared charging market, serving 3 million users, and holding an absolute leading position.
1.2 Core Issues Resolved
Geographic Supply-Demand Imbalance: Token incentives adjust the cross-regional flow of power banks.
Inefficiency of Traditional Models: Centralized management has high costs and insufficient transparency, with small and medium-sized businesses lacking motivation to participate.
Weak User Stickiness: A single function is difficult to maintain long-term retention; gamification and community transformation are needed.
1.3 Market Potential
The global shared charging market exceeds $5 billion, with an annual growth rate of over 25%. Piggycell’s pioneering model of 'tokenization of physical facilities + gamified operations' can be expanded to IoT device management, local service networks, and other trillion-dollar DePIN markets, seizing the first-mover advantage in the RWA track.
II. Innovation in Business Model: Triple Helix Driving System
2.1 DePIN + RWA Infrastructure Layer
NFT Asset Certification: Each charging station issues a unique serial number NFT based on geographic location, representing ownership and regional dominance.
① Investors can purchase NFTs to obtain profit-sharing rights for the corresponding devices (redeemable for PGC tokens in points).
② The community can collectively hold NFTs to achieve decentralized asset management and local economic revitalization.
Smart Contract Automated Profit Distribution: Revenue generated by the charging stations each hour is proportionally distributed to shop owners (30%), users (30%), NFT holders (25%), and the foundation (15%), executed transparently on-chain.
2.2 C2E (Charge-to-Earn) User Incentive Layer
Basic Earnings: Users earn PGC rewards for renting/returning power banks, with excess incentives for returning to shortage areas.
Challenge Tasks:
① Spatial Gamification: Occupy specified charging stations (similar to 'virtual land grabbing') to earn tokens.
② Social Tasks: Offline meetings, first-time usage, device maintenance, and other behaviors trigger rewards.
③ Merchant Interaction: Merchants can publish promotional tasks (such as offering tokens for in-store purchases) to form a localized marketing loop.
2.3 Token Economics and Ecological Cycle
Core Functions of PGC Token:
Token Distribution Model:
① Maximum Supply: 100 million tokens, issued based on Solana / ICP.
② Distribution Ratio: Ecological Reserve (60%), Financing (20%), Team (7%), Contributors (7%), NFT Incentives (3%), Market (3%).
III. Technical Architecture and Competitive Barriers
3.1 Blockchain Technology Stack
Smart Contract Automation: Renting, returning, and profit distribution are executed on-chain throughout the process, reducing operational costs by over 40%.
Anti-Fraud System: Combines GPS positioning and device sensor data to prevent false rental behavior.
Cross-Chain Compatibility: Supports Solana (high throughput) and ICP (distributed storage) dual chains to ensure scalability.
3.2 Core Competitive Advantages
First-Mover Network Effect: 90% market share in South Korea creates a moat for physical facilities.
Tokenized Asset Liquidity: The NFT market supports instant ownership trading, allowing investors to exit quickly.
Online and Offline Synergy: Charging stations act as 'geographic social nodes', generating revenue from local advertising and data services.
IV. Development Roadmap and Growth Momentum
4.1 Milestone Planning
4.2 Growth Flywheel Design
User Growth: C2E attracts high-frequency leasing behavior → Increases device utilization → Increases NFT holder earnings.
Merchant Expansion: Profit-sharing mechanisms attract more shops to deploy devices → Expands network density → Enhances user convenience.
Capital Influx: Transparency of RWA asset returns → Attracts fund investment in NFTs → Accelerates global deployment of devices.
V. Risks and Challenges
Regulatory Uncertainty: South Korea’s compliance framework for tokenized assets is yet to be improved.
Competitor Imitation: Continuous iteration of gamified features (e.g., AR real-world tasks) is needed to maintain user stickiness.
Token Selling Pressure: Early investors may suppress token prices shortly after unlocking on exchanges.
VI. Valuation and Investment Recommendations
Short-Term Goals (2025):
① Users exceed 5 million, with 20,000 devices, and the circulating market value of PGC reaches $500 million.
② Key Catalysts: Listings on mainstream exchanges (such as Binance, OKX, Upbit, etc.).
Long-Term Outlook (2030):
① Become a mainstream infrastructure service provider in Southeast Asia, with DePIN protocol layers expanding into smart charging piles, WiFi hotspots, and more.
② Valuation Benchmarking: Helium Mobile (DePIN leader, PE 50x).
Investment Rating: Strong Attention (A+).
