What is DePIN?

Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) let anyone earn rewards by powering real-world infrastructure – like WiFi, data storage, or computing power – from using their own hardware. DePINs build resilient, cost-effective networks that scale fast and give every day people the chance to team up and compete against big corporations.
