In the digital economy era, computing power has become a core production factor akin to electricity. However, traditional computing power networks are monopolized by giants, leaving ordinary people facing the dilemma of 'no way to participate, meager returns'. The rise of DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) is breaking barriers through distributed collaboration models, and UBI Network, as an innovator in this track, is enabling global users to easily deploy smart devices to share in the computing power economic dividends through a 'hardware + software + economic model' integrated design.
This article will take you deep into understanding: What exactly is UBI Network? How does its product disrupt the traditional? How hardcore is the technical team behind it?
One, re-understanding UBI Network: It's more than just 'mining equipment', it's also the entry point to a distributed computing power ecosystem
UBI Network is a decentralized computing power collaboration network, with the core carrier being the UBI Edge Node smart device: palm-sized, supporting PoE power supply and dual networking of 4G/Wi-Fi, integrating computing power, storage, and security chips, capable of running 50+ DePIN project tasks (such as Helium hotspots, Hivemapper map surveying, etc.) simultaneously. After powering on, the mobile APP can activate it with one click, allowing remote management without barriers. Its core value lies in transforming idle bandwidth, computing power, and storage in households into tradable resources: users contribute resources to earn cryptocurrency or fiat income, while developers/enterprises obtain distributed resources at 70% lower costs than cloud service providers, breaking centralized monopolies.
Two, three major product highlights: Redefining the standard for 'DePIN devices'
Minimalist design: Get started in 3 minutes, full-link intelligence
Zero technical threshold: No need to configure code or command line, just three steps after unpacking: ① Connect power and network ② Open UBI APP to scan and bind ③ Automatically sync global task pool and start earning;
Real-time monitoring: The APP displays the device's operating status, earnings details, and task distribution in real-time, supporting batch management of multiple devices;
Cross-scenario compatibility: Built-in dynamic task scheduling system, automatically switches to high-yield projects, avoiding risks of single-task income fluctuations.
Technical hardcore: Safe, efficient, and scalable
Security aspect: Equipped with TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) chip to prevent computing power hijacking and data tampering; earnings settlement is based on smart contracts, traceable on-chain, and the platform cannot interfere with user assets;
Efficiency aspect: Self-developed algorithms improve device utilization to 95%, far exceeding the industry average of 70%; supports high-density tasks such as edge computing and AI inference, with a single device computing power peak reaching 20 TOPS;
Expansion aspect: Modular hardware design, future upgrades can support emerging functions such as 5G slicing and satellite communication through plugins; software open API interface allows third-party developers to customize exclusive task modules.
3. Compliance and reliability: 'Hard power' that can withstand market testing
Compliance layout: Has obtained digital currency trading exemption from Singapore MAS, US FinCEN MSB license, and data privacy complies with GDPR and CCPA standards;
Stability testing: Continuous operation for over 500 hours without failure in extreme high temperature (50℃) and high humidity (90%) environments, MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) reaches 100,000 hours;
Ecological compatibility: The first batch of 50+ mainstream DePIN projects including Helium, Hivemapper, DIMO, covering three core scenarios: IoT, geoinformation, and mobile data.
Three, core team: Gathering elites to empower innovation
ALEXANDER CARTER - Co-founder & CEO: Holds dual degrees in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering from MIT, over 10 years of experience in MEET and decentralized technology, former strategic head at GOOGLE CLOUD, has led large-scale distributed network project planning.
DR. LIAM HAYES - Co-founder & CTO: PhD in Applied Mathematics from Oxford University, expert in cryptography and distributed systems, deeply researching cutting-edge fields such as Ethereum LAYER2 expansion technology, responsible for UBI core technology architecture and development.
The advisory team includes former technical advisors from Filecoin, with strategic investments from Lafite Capital, Non-small Numbers, etc., and audit support from PwC. The team has been developing since 2022, building three laboratories and applying for 23 patents covering smart contract scheduling, hardware energy consumption management, and more.
Four, ecological moat: Breakthrough from 0 to 1
Significant network effects: Each additional node exponentially expands computing power coverage, synchronously increasing user task volume. As of May 2025, there are over 50,000 global nodes covering 30+ countries, forming three core clusters.
Hardware as a traffic entry point: The device is equipped with geolocation, accessible to logistics, commerce, and other offline scenarios, and will collaborate with Samsung and Xiaomi in the future to connect with the smart home ecosystem, expanding computing power applications.
Decentralized governance: Issuing 1 billion UBI tokens, 70% distributed to users through mining, holders can vote on project access, computing power allocation, etc., truly realizing 'users as shareholders'.
UBI Network is turning the concept of a decentralized computing power network into a 'digital asset' accessible to ordinary people. Whether you are a technology enthusiast, a hardware investor, or an ordinary person looking to increase passive income, it offers a low-threshold participation window. In the next article, we will focus on the income model and practical deployment of devices; for now, feel free to explore device details on the official website—after all, the best way to understand a project that changes the future is to start with 'close observation'.
