Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePINs) Will Be Web3's "Next Big Use Case"

DePINs will be Web3's “next big use case,” with the potential to onboard “a significant number of new users to the crypto space,”

Web3 is set to see decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs) emerge as its “next big use case,” which could help onboard “a significant number of new users to the crypto space,” according to a recent report.

The report, published Sept. 5 by Web3 investing firm MV Global, highlights the growing adoption of decentralized networks in the real world.

“Real-world adoption has accelerated with hundreds of thousands of users of multiple individual protocols,” said MV Global. “[T]his is only the start of what we think will be a massive wave of growth… not only for current Web3 users but also for Web 2 converts.”

DePINs are blockchain protocols designed to decentralize real-world infrastructure and systems, such as communications networks, data warehouses, energy markets, and more. According to MV Global, the ecosystem currently comprises over 1,000 projects and boasts an aggregate market capitalization of over $50 billion.

By utilizing token incentives and onchain governance, DePINs are addressing longstanding challenges — including “the cold start problem” for resource-intensive networks — and大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅削減大幅
