Explore the fundamentals of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks and discover how they're revolutionizing the intersection of blockchain technology and physical infrastructure.
Token incentives, decentralized governance, and the immutability, transparency, and automation of blockchain enable novel business models that reduce capital and operational expenditures.
Resilient power networks
Distributed monitoring
Decentralized processing
Community connectivity
Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks utilize web3 to build resilient and efficient energy grids, sensor networks and compute & storage Infrastructure.
"The core idea is to let the community co-own and co-create these global infrastructure networks."
When sensors, bandwidth, storage, and compute are provisioned and steered by decentralized token-aligned communities, the result is a tamper-resistant, co-created infrastructure with built-in checks and balances.
Such DePIN systems can mitigate manipulation risk, increase resilience, and invite democratic oversight principles.
When autonomous robots and Agents are built on such decentralized foundations, they may become robust platforms for collective human-machine intelligence and adaptation.

On Day 2 of Breaking DePIN: the Physical AI unConference, we will co-create the agenda live using Open Space Technology. This is where narratives are born, shaped, and shared. It is also where alpha surfaces before the rest of the world sees it.
We are looking for session proposals that spark curiosity, debate, and action in the DePIN space.
