Editor's Note

Why is this research report worth reading?

  • DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) explores how to use decentralized technology to build and manage physical facilities in the real world, which may subvert many traditional industries. Understanding DePIN is crucial to grasping the future development of Web3.

  • From macro to micro, this article systematically divides DePIN into six subcategories, covering core areas such as telecommunications, energy, computing power, decentralized AI, data and services, and outlines a complete ecological map for readers. In each field, there are real operating data of leading projects, revealing the project scale, user growth and business model.

  • This article does not blindly promote the bright prospects of DePIN, but clearly points out the severe challenges currently faced by the DePIN project, especially the "imperfect status quo", such as the sustainability of the token economic model, the practical obstacles to competing with centralized giants, and the potential impact of future technologies (such as 6G, photonic computing, and distributed training). This balanced perspective helps readers evaluate the field more rationally.

TL;DR
