In 2022, Messari coined the term DePIN as an acronym for “Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network”, to describe networks which leverage blockchain to decentralize the ownership and control of physical infrastructure in the real world. For the first time, we can now create ecosystems where data and infrastructure are no longer assets that are controlled by a small number of capitalists, but rather collective assets owned and managed by the community, for the community.

Today, per the sector map below, the major sectors in DePIN include decentralized compute, storage, wireless networks, and sensor networks:

And many of the leaders in DePIN have created significant token value:

While it’s still early days in DePIN, Messari projects DePIN to reach a staggering $3.5 trillion in revenue by 2028, as it drives technological innovation and efficiency across industries, significantly reduces transaction costs and time, enhances liquidity, and enables greater connectivity and equality.

But, of course, the industry faces multiple challenge, notably technological maturity, standardization, security, privacy protection, and compliance. On this webinar, we’ll discuss both the opportunities and challenges of this emerging technology. Who will be the winners and losers?

We’ve got three great featured guests who will each share their perspectives on DePIN for ~ 10 minutes each, leaving plenty of time for audience Q&A.
