DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) is becoming one of the most promising landing directions for Web3, and @Polkadot is gradually becoming the core carrying layer of this emerging field.
With permissionless access, modular design, and robust cross-chain capabilities, an increasing number of DePIN projects are choosing to build next-generation physical world infrastructure on Polkadot:
🔋 Smart Grid: A blockchain-based energy scheduling network that dynamically allocates solar and EV power, with automatic settlement and transparent on-chain transactions.
📶 Community 5G: Residents build their own micro nodes, sharing bandwidth and breaking free from reliance on large telecom operators.
🚕 Decentralized Ride-hailing Platform: Direct connection between drivers and passengers, with smart contracts managing payments and no platform commission.
📦 Local Delivery System: Restaurants operate their own on-chain delivery network, ensuring data privacy and lower costs.
🗺️ Crowdsourced Map Network: Real-time data uploads via dashcams and drones, creating a tamper-proof Web3 map.
🧠 AI Computing Resource Pool: Players rent out GPUs to AI developers, earning tokens while gaming.
🤖 Robot Training Data Market: XR scene recordings used for robot training, with data contributions rewarded.
📈 Health Data Exchange: Wearable devices upload anonymous health data on-chain, rewarding users for healthy behaviors.
🛠️ Supply Chain Traceability System: Full-chain records of goods from source to endpoint, eliminating counterfeit products.
🌐 Decentralized Wi-Fi Network: Nodes deployed on-chain for verification, forming an autonomous wireless network infrastructure.
Polkadot, the underlying protocol born for DePIN.
