Energy DePIN, a convergence of renewable energy, cryptocurrency, and artificial intelligence, is poised for significant government initiatives by 2026, with notable figures such as Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and David Sacks leading the charge. Uplink has launched the first decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) on the Avalanche blockchain, attracting over 150,000 users and registering 40,000 routers since its inception. This development aims to enhance global decentralized internet connectivity, bridging traditional enterprise and community-driven network models. The concept of DePIN has been discussed in tech circles since the 2012-2018 era, where early adopters envisioned decentralized applications for the Internet of Things (IoT), focusing on collaborative data tracking for various environmental metrics.
DePIN is an inevitable global movement. The decentralized machine perception network is its ultimate destination. AUKI is laser focused.
Do you even DePIN, bro?
In 2012-2018 era of Beijing, the thing that we now called DePIN was widely discussed in tech circles. Early adopters and visionaries applied the vision of decentralisation to IoT, imagining (and building) collaborative data trackers for things like air quality monitoring. Late…
