And why this thing can change everything – from the internet to charging your electric scooter
Imagine that you connect to Wi-Fi, charge your phone, ride an electric scooter, or even install solar panels. All these things are physical infrastructure.
Previously, it was owned by large companies or the state.
And now imagine that it is owned by... people. How do you like that, Elon Musk? 🚀
📦 DePIN = decentralized infrastructure
DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) is when physical devices (servers, antennas, cameras, charging stations) are owned and maintained by ordinary people, not corporations. And for this, people receive tokens.
🪙 What do participants receive?
Device owners - earning in tokens
Users - access to cheaper or decentralized service
Network - stable growth and distributed infrastructure
That is, you can become part of the internet — not as a consumer, but as an owner of a piece of the network.
💡 What are the benefits?
There is no single center of control (less censorship, more freedom)
People receive passive income
Cheaper and faster scaling
Greater resilience (even if part of the network 'falls', the other part works)
🔍 Top DePIN projects:
Helium - Decentralized mobile internet and LoRa
NodleIoT - a network with cameras and Bluetooth
Filecoin - File storage in a decentralized cloud environment
Akash - Cloud computing without Amazon
DIMO - Auto-network with sensors and data exchange
📈 Why is this important?
Because DePIN is the real world + blockchain. It's no longer about JPEGs with monkeys, but about specific physical things that you can see, touch, install, and earn.
You don't just own tokens. You own a piece of new infrastructure.
🧠 Conclusion
DePIN is what Web3 will become in the real world. And when everyone rushes to buy artificial intelligence tokens — the one who deploys 5 real devices in the network may already be building the internet of the future.
