The rise of DePINs: From noise pollution sensors to robo-cafes

Decentralize with Cointelegraph

This episode of Decentralize with Cointelegraph explores the exciting world of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePINs) — a revolutionary approach to blockchain technology bringing real-world applications to the masses. Host Savannah Fortis is joined by Leonard Dorlöchter, the co-founder of the Peaq Network, who dives into the technical aspects of DePINs on the Peaq Network, along with their potential to disrupt industries like artificial intelligence, machine learning and the future of work. Tune in to discover how DePINs can incentivize data collection, power autonomous machines and foster a people-powered machine economy.
Whether you’re a crypto enthusiast, developer or simply curious about the future of technology, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
