šØ The DePIN Pledge: Why Infra Just Got Interesting
Web3ās cool
But hereās the truth:
Most of it still runs on Amazon.
Thatās right. The ādecentralized" world is hosted on centralized servers.
That's where DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) comes in
Creating the real-world layer of Web3
Compute
Storage
Bandwidth
Wireless
Sensors etc
Run by everyday people, Not tech giants.
However, DePIN ain't getting the recognition it deserves
To combat this, the top DePIN projects came together to launch what is now called
THE DePIN PLEDGE š”ļø
What is it?
It is shared commitment among DePIN projects to build together, back each other and make DePIN loud.
No corporate BS
No gatekeepers
Just raw, open infrastructure.
Who's in?š¤·
š°ļø Helium: a global wireless network run by regular people with hotspots.
š¾ Filecoin which provides storage across thousands of nodes
š§ Fluence: Decentralised compute provider
šØ Render: offers P2P GPU rendering
š DIMO which turns your car into a data machine
š» Akash which is cloud, but decentralized
HiveMapper, IoTeX, Aethir and so on
Instead of playing solo, all come together to build a stack
One where devs can mix and match services
No lock in
No middlemen
No Bezos
And yes, itās already working.
What's their goal?
Make decentralized infra the DEFAULT.
Not a niche, not a backup plan
But rather democratise the internet
that is;
Infra by the people
Powered by tokens
Governed by DAOs
Pay for what you use not what you don't need
While having a say and own a stake of the internet
So hereās the question...
Are you still building on rented land? š§±
Or are you ready to own the rails? ā”
