DePIN
Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks — using crypto token rewards to crowdsource real-world infrastructure (wireless coverage, GPU compute, mapping, storage) instead of a single company building it. The flywheel rewards suppliers with tokens, aiming to attract paying demand that gives the token value. Supply is easy to bootstrap with emissions; the hard part, and the true signal, is real customer-paid demand.
