New Changes in the DePIN Track: New Opportunities for Integration with AI

DePIN, as a decentralized physical infrastructure network, once enjoyed great popularity. With the rapid development of AI technology, market attention has shifted to the AI field. However, DePIN has not stagnated, but is actively seeking new directions in combination with AI. Projects represented by Roam are leading this trend.

DePIN essentially integrates resources through token incentives, encouraging users to share personal resources to build infrastructure networks. It covers multiple areas such as storage, computing power, and networking. Unlike pure on-chain projects, DePIN is connected to the physical world, bringing positive impacts to the industry.

Currently, DePIN has approximately 4.56 million devices worldwide, with a market value of 7.1 billion USD. Among them, Roam has 1.18 million devices, becoming the new leading project. DePIN devices are mainly distributed in the United States, Europe, and Southeast Asia, with the highest concentration in South Korea.

Roam positions itself as a decentralized wireless network and telecommunications operator. It offers various products such as WIFI hardware and eSIM cards, allowing users to earn free data by completing tasks. The core of Roam is the Roam Telecom Data Layer, which includes four main modules: network infrastructure, user incentives, innovation incubation, and community governance.

Roam is actively integrating with AI, leveraging its communication data advantages to provide high-quality data for AI projects. In the era of AI, data is the key bottleneck, and Roam offers operator services through Web3 while providing data sources for AI companies. Roam uses decentralized identity and zero-knowledge proof technologies to protect user privacy.

Roam is still building a diversified data ecosystem, integrating multidimensional data such as weather, CDN services, and renewable energy. This provides unprecedented data depth and breadth for AI model training.

For ordinary users, the threshold for participating in DePIN projects is relatively low. Taking Roam as an example, users can earn free data by completing tasks or sharing WIFI to gain points for future airdrops. This model of free data combined with airdrops is very attractive, providing users with opportunities to participate.
