Fluence's participation in DePIN Day at TOKEN2049 Dubai was transformative for builders of decentralized infrastructure. Held on May 1, this event brought together Web3's sharpest minds to explore real-world applications of DePIN, such as decentralized networks that power cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT). For Fluence, it was an opportunity to demonstrate how their serverless platform is shaping the future of decentralized infrastructure — and they delivered.

Events like this are where projects like Fluence prove their worth by pushing blockchain technology beyond hype into practical, scalable solutions. Fluence's serverless platform stands out by offering enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure that's 75% cheaper than that of traditional providers and that has zero vendor lock-in. Built for developers, it lets them deploy Web3 nodes, backends, and databases on high-performance servers in Tier 4/5 data centers — all decentralized, secure, and community-driven. This aligns perfectly with DePIN's mission to democratize infrastructure, cut costs, and boost resilience against single points of failure.

At DePIN Day, Fluence's co-founder, Tom Trow, and tech lead, Evgeny Ponomarev, stole the show. In a fireside chat with Filecoin's Juan Benet, Tom discussed how Fluence rewards actual usage rather than unused capacity, creating sustainable value for DePIN ecosystems. Meanwhile, Evgeny's panel, "Can DePIN Make AI More Scalable, Secure, and Trustless?," explained how Fluence's virtual servers (now in beta!) are addressing AI's computing demands. These discussions weren't just theoretical; they sparked real connections among builders, VCs, and innovators.

TOKEN2049's networking vibe was electric, with over 4,000 attendees across DePIN Day's global events. Fluence used this opportunity to connect with partners like NATIX Network and Animoca Brands, further establishing their position as a DePIN leader. DePIN could reach a $300 billion market by 2030, and Fluence is paving the way with cost-efficient, scalable AI and gaming.
