Web3 is a new way to break through the circle, taking stock of 10 potential stocks in the DePIN track

Virtual supporting reality, DePIN brings new traffic entrance to Web3.

Written by: How is your husband, Odaily Planet Daily

Recently, the surge in Honey and Mobile has boosted the popularity of the entire DePIN sector.

The full name of DePIN is Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks, which is a decentralized physical infrastructure network, including two aspects: (1) Physical resource network, including wireless network, 5G network, Internet of Things network, image and mapping network, mobile network, etc. ; (2) Digital resource network, including bandwidth network, storage and computing network, etc.

DePIN essentially tokenizes the above two aspects and uses token incentives to attract user participation, thereby improving the utilization of idle resources and providing services to network users and users in need.

Most of the projects in the DePIN track are familiar to everyone, such as Filecoin and Arweave in the storage track. These projects are usually at the lower construction levels of the infrastructure track. Just like the original intent-centric, after being given a new name by well-known institutions such as Paradigm, it started a sector rotation and triggered an increase in the token prices of projects associated with it.

In addition to the projects that have skyrocketed recently, what other treasure projects are there in the DePIN sector? Odaily Planet Daily screened 10 potential stocks.

WiFi Map

WiFi Map Founded in 2014, WiFi Map is a WiFi hotspot location and connection platform with more than 450 million free WiFi hotspots added by its community.

Currently, it is based on mobile App as its core, which includes functions such as eSIM, offline map, WiFi finder, VPN and wallet. WiFi Map participates in the operation of the WiFi Map project by providing its own limited WiFi hotspot network through the community, and obtains token WIFI rewards based on corresponding indicators. Users can purchase WiFi tokens to use the corresponding network services provided by it, thereby realizing the positive rise of the entire decentralized WiFi. As of now, according to the official website, there are 170 million users and available in more than 200 countries.

According to CoinGecko data, the circulating market value of WiFi Map is US$16.51 million, the token price is 0.19 USDT, and the token price has increased by up to 1000% in the past 30 days.

Hive folders

Hivemapper is a global street mapping project. Participants purchase Hivemapper’s driving recorders to collect data. After collecting the data, they map the streets. The reason for its early exit was the concept of X to Earn. Hivemapper provides participants with rewards for earning HONEY tokens by linking driving recorders and cars into “mining machines.” However, after the concept of DePIN came out of the circle, it was defined as one of the representatives of the physical resource network in the DePIN sector.

The current total travel distance is 100 million kilometers, with more than 32,000 participants, covering more than 1,500 regions.

According to CoinGecko data, the circulating market value of Hivemapper is US$68.78 million, the token price is 0.16 USDT, and the token price has increased by up to 800% in the past 30 days.

ICE NET

ICE NET is a decentralized network privacy infrastructure based on zero-knowledge proof, aiming to provide all users with a reliable and efficient privacy-preserving network system. ICE NET uses zero-knowledge proof (ZK-SNARKs) technology and the innovative network protocol ISN-Protocol to ensure that all user information is deeply protected during Internet access.

The ICE NET ecological matrix includes the hybrid network node service platform ICE-Shield PlatNet, the integrated web browser ICE Explorer, and the high-performance privacy public chain ICE-Shield Chain.

The total supply of ICE tokens is 1 billion, and the distribution of ICE tokens is community incentives: 90%; marketing incentives: 5%; team incentives: 5%.

ICE-Shield Network has introduced a mechanism called “Use to earn” to reward nodes and ordinary users who actively participate in network services. This mechanism encourages users to use ICE-Shield Network’s privacy services and receive rewards by providing proof of use (POU). The NFT purchased by users has different levels of privacy protection attributes. The higher the level, the more rewards will be obtained in the “Use to earn” mechanism. ICE tokens play the role of rewards and governance in the entire process. Users and nodes participate in the governance of the ecosystem by holding ICE tokens. This design aims to attract more users and nodes to participate and promote the safe, private and fair development of ICE-Shield Network.

ICE NET provides users with VPN services with its own decentralized privacy network, helping users conduct online activities without trace and ensuring user privacy. The current download volume of ICE NET is as high as 590,000, and the ICE NET dividend pool currently has 603,600 USDT, which will be used for token empowerment in the future.

Crust’s technology stack can also support data operations and calculations. Crust Network has three major functions: NFT and Metaverse metadata storage, personal file storage, and website/dApp hosting.

Crust uses MPoW, a trustless and low-cost TEE-based technology, to authenticate and manage storage resources. Crust has created an on-chain storage market called DSM (Decentralized Storage Market). Through DSM, users can easily upload files on the network and place storage orders in just 1-2 minutes. To maintain file availability, a maximum of 50 copies are stored on the network. also.
