In a recent Hashing It Out podcast, Tom Trowbridge, CEO of Fluence Labs, discussed the rise of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN). This innovative model uses crypto-economics to crowdsource and connect physical infrastructure, offering efficient, cost-effective alternatives to traditional systems. Trowbridge highlighted the need for DePIN projects to deliver superior products to succeed. Despite challenges like customer acquisition, he remains optimistic about DePINs' potential to generate real-world revenue by 2025, potentially reducing reliance on the volatile crypto market.
