How Crazy Rich DePIN Users Earn Passive Income Onchain By Using AI
Imagine turning your smartphone into a noise pollution detector, your car into a mapmaker, or your laptop into a Hollywood-grade rendering machineâall while earning crypto in your sleep.
This is what I got to experience at Token 2049 in Singapore. Welcome to the world of DePIN, or Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks, the latest buzz at Token 2049, Asia's hottest onchain gathering. And of course, they use AI to optimize.
This isn't just another tech fad; it's a revolution that's flipping the script by putting us in the driving seat when it comes to our gadgets and our data. Buckle up as we dive into the DePIN phenomenon, uncover why it's making waves, and show you how to ride this digital tsunami straight to the bank.
What is DePIN?
DePIN is a new way of building and running real-world services using blockchain technology. Instead of big companies owning all the infrastructure, regular people can contribute their own devices to create networks. People share their devices or resources (like extra internet bandwidth or computer storage) and get paid in cryptocurrency for their contributions. This creates networks that aren't controlled by any single company. Think of it as Airbnb for tech infrastructure - you're renting out your tech resources instead of a room. This approach can make services cheaper, more widely available, and give people a way to earn money from their devices.
In chatting with peaq at Token 2049, Till Wendler, co-founder of peaq â the Layer-1 blockchain for DePIN â told me he was thrilled to see so much interest for the DePIN space at TOKEN2049 and beyond. âThe sector is really drawing eyes,â he said. âIt looks like Web3 is finally ready to venture into the real world, powering real business use cases and creating real, tangible value.
There's already more than a million devices in the peaq ecosystem, which is a signal of the wider sector's strength; at the event, we got further proof of its reach and appeal. With a whole 25 DePINs represented and more than a dozen devices - sensors, computers, a weather station, smart home devices - just at peaq's booth, the DePIN sector is coming out in full force
Given the huge buzz around DePIN, letâs take a peek at some of the real-world examples that are already transforming the way we think about tech, data and our own place within the ecosystem.
Real World Examples:
Filecoin Filecoin $FIL : Decentralized Storage
Filecoin stands as a giant in the world of DePIN. It's a decentralized storage network that anyone can use or contribute to. The concept is simple: people with extra computer storage space can offer it to the network, while others who need storage can use this space to keep their files safe. All transactions are paid for with Filecoin's own digital currency, $FIL. What sets Filecoin apart is its scale and security measures. It's the worldâs largest DePIN project, worth about $4.2 billion. To ensure reliability, people offering storage must put up some of their own $FIL as a promise to do a good job. Experts predict a bright future for Filecoin, especially as AI companies with vast data storage needs look for cost-effective solutions.
Silencio: Fighting Noise Pollution
Silencio is a DePIN that leverages the power of Web3 technology to combat noise pollution. It's a community-powered network that rewards mobile users for providing accurate, hyper-local noise pollution data. Using Silencio is simple: just download the app from the Apple Store, log in, and start recording outside. Users earn one noise token per minute of recording.
The impact is significant. In August Silencio revealed its network now has over 308,000 active users, contributing 17.1 billion data points across more than 180 countries. The companyâs strapline helps explain the huge uptake: You should have the right to earn from your data. Thatâs the fundamental philosophy behind DePIN, and itâs proving incredibly compelling. With 6.8 million+ venue check-ins, Silencio is building the largest noise-level dataset ever, and they're just getting started.
MapMetrics: Drive-to-Earn Navigation
MapMetrics offers a fresh take on navigation apps. It's a free, drive-to-earn crypto navigation app that rewards users for contributing their data anonymously. Essentially, it's a Google Maps alternative where users get rewarded for their data. Token distribution occurs through data blocks that are progressively transmitted during driving or riding.
In chatting with Brent van der Heiden, co-founder of MapMetrics, he told me that "It was great to bring MapMetrics to TOKEN2049 and show it to the community here. People immediately grasped our mission and purpose, because they were interacting with things they're already using every day and got hands-on proof that Web3 makes them better. It was especially great to show the value of the data to the everyman, because that's something Big Tech is hiding from you, while MapMetrics makes it as obvious and transparent as possible - a change everybody here could get behind. When Web3 gets real, when it delivers immediate value, its potential is a lot easier to see."
Combinder: AI-Driven Energy Management
The move to smart grids is an essential component of the energy transition, but under the Web2 model itâs corporations who rake in billions from household energy data, while consumers get no reward at all. Combinder puts power back in peopleâs hands, by enabling anyone to earn money from sharing their energy usage data. It's an AI-driven prototype of a Web3-powered energy nano-grid. The system demonstrates the viability of Web3-based nano-grid energy management involving AI agents â smart software pieces representing individual household devices.
How does it work? You simply connect your devices like a your air conditioner or washer machine to Combinder's DePIN and earn rewards in the $BIND token for providing data and flexibility as part of the world's largest virtual power plant. And users will be helping the world go greener too.
Leveraging real-world data to simulate the energy needs of an average household, the project team will build a physical nano-grid involving a plug-in green energy source and an air conditioning unit. Combinder changes the game by enabling people to earn rewards in tokens for connecting their smart devices to its global virtual power grid. Users can earn for sharing their energy use data, adjust their consumption to offset peak demand hours, sell carbon credits, and even join peer-to-peer energy microgrids.
Render Render $RENDER Network: Distributed GPU Rendering
Render Network is revolutionizing the world of 3D rendering and visual effects. It's a blockchain-based distributed GPU rendering service that harnesses idle GPU power from users worldwide, creating a decentralized rendering farm.
Artists, designers, and studios can tap into this network to render their projects faster and more cost-effectively than traditional methods. Creators upload their projects to the Render Network, where they're divided into tasks and distributed across the network's GPUs. Users providing GPU power earn RNDR tokens as compensation. This system democratizes access to high-end rendering capabilities, enabling smaller studios and independent artists to produce Hollywood-quality visuals without massive infrastructure investments.
