Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePINs) are emerging as alternative options to traditional telecommunications companies to address challenges in the telecommunications industry. DePINs leverage blockchain technology to decentralize and maintain infrastructure, allowing for accessible and reliable connectivity. These networks use distributed ledgers and token incentives to incentivize providers and automate processes through smart contracts. DePIN revenue has reached over $500 million in 2024, and the number of active projects has nearly doubled in the past year. However, the industry still faces challenges such as regulation, scalability, and efficiency. Despite these challenges, DePINs have the potential to revolutionize various industries beyond telecommunications.
