⚡️ INSIGHT: DePIN faces challenges in mass adoption, needing a broader user base to compete with Web2 infrastructure. Blockchain-driven #DePIN incentivizes real-world contributions, allowing users to engage with DApps that provide tangible value. peaq’s “Get Real” campaign rewards users for tasks like connecting devices and tracking agricultural produce, promoting blockchain adoption and real-world integration. Would you participate in a Web3 campaign that rewards real-world tasks? [Brought to you by peaq]

Announcing: DePIN Summit Africa in Kenya and Tanzania in July 2025 Hosting DePIN Summit has been one of my favorite highlights of building Escape Velocity over the past few years. DePIN, or Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks, use crypto to scale critical infrastructure like wireless, electricity, or compute in a peer-to-peer manner. By cutting out the middle-man, DePINs provide cheaper and more reliable services than the current incumbents. In other words, DePIN is all about putting power back into the hands of users. 2023's Summit showed that DePIN is a MOVEMENT: for the very first time, 100+ DePIN founders and investors sat in the same room, in Menlo Park, all with a shared vision for the future of what decentralized infrastructure networks will become. 2024's Summit showed that DePIN is INEVITABLE: with more than 350 founders, investors, and operators coming together on a summer Saturday, in NYC, to discuss humanity’s urgent need for digital infrastructure networks that can scale to serve exponentially-growing demand decades in the future. In July 2025, DePIN Summit Africa will show that DePIN is GLOBAL by bringing the community together in Mombasa, Kenya and Zanzibar, Tanzania. We are excited to be collaborating with our on-the-ground partners SHARE and ThreeFold to make the event truly special, bringing together DePIN entrepreneurs and investors from abroad, alongside local industry and government leaders who are eager to understand how DePIN can serve their communities. DePIN has been mostly a US-based phenomenon to date, by almost any metric you can pick: number of projects, total capital raised, etc. A few protocols are bucking the trend and showing how DePIN can serve users in emerging markets: for example, local ISPs in Ghana are using DAWN to provide internet services, one of the largest telcos in Mexico is offloading its customers traffic onto Helium🎈, and grid-scale solar farms in India are mining on Glow Foundation. But by and large, DePIN activity is focused on developed markets, and specifically the US.... DePIN in the US is a huge opportunity, but it’s not the only one! Emerging markets are a different ballgame: the end-user demand for more reliable, performant, scalable digital infrastructure in growing economies is enormous across virtually every sector of DePIN: wireless, energy, compute, sensors, logistics, identity, etc. In East Africa, consumers spend 10-20% of their monthly income on internet service for only 3-4 GB of capacity. The user behaviors, unit economics, and regulatory hurdles are fundamentally different than other markets. With DePIN Summit Africa 2025, we hope to bridge that gap and help plant the seeds for DePIN to expand its reach globally, and specifically into East Africa going forward. We’re excited to be joined by headline speakers including: - Kristof De Spiegeleer, co-founder of ThreeFold's decentralized cloud computing network - Neil Chatterjee, co-founder of DAWN's decentralized fixed wireless internet - Jose Aycart, co-founder of SHARE's decentralized internet and compute infrastructure - Alireza Ghods, co-founder of NATIX Network's decentralized digital mapping network - Robin Wingardh, co-founder of wingbits's decentralized flight tracking to Africa - Fredrik Ahlgren, co-founder Sourceful Energy ⚡️'s decentralized virtual power plants - Raullen Chai, co-founder of IoTeX's modular DePIN L1 and development platform If you’d like to join us and help accelerate the growth of DePIN in emerging markets, please apply below 👇
