We looked at the basics of DePIN (Decentralised physical infrastructure networks) and broke down the various categorisations in the landscape. Today we are focusing on DePIN digital resources.
What is DePIN Digital Resource?
This is the sector of Decentralised physical infrastructure networks that utilises digital resources to adopt decentralisation.
Participants in this sector take part by utilising their digital resources (CPU, networks etc) to connect to the decentralised network.
We can categorise the physical resource sector into 4 categories:
