Recently, news of traditional virtual number platforms shutting down spread, and the decentralized eSIM project Depinsim ($ESIM) quickly announced its listing on the ecosystem section of a major exchange. This move actually reflects a larger trend—Web3 is gradually replacing Web2 infrastructure.

As a DePIN project based on the TON blockchain, Depinsim's core gameplay revolves around eSIM technology, aiming to build a global decentralized mobile data network. Interestingly, it innovatively introduces an ecosystem model of "earning money by consuming data"—users can earn rewards while using network services. This model breaks the traditional one-way consumption relationship of telecoms, giving ordinary users the opportunity to share in the value of infrastructure.

As centralized platforms withdraw or face restrictions, blockchain-based decentralized alternatives are gaining market share. Depinsim's actions happen to be at the forefront of this trend and are worth paying attention to.

The idea that consumption equals earning has been heard too many times; whether you can really make money depends on the token economy design. --- Wait, all the SMS verification platforms are shut down? What about the accounts I stored before... --- The TON ecosystem has a new project again. Can it really make a difference this time? --- The word "hotspot" has been overused. Anyway, I'm just waiting to see if this thing can truly be implemented before making any judgments. --- Decentralized alternatives sound appealing, but I'm worried it might just be a case of new wine in old bottles. --- Breaking the one-way consumption? Honestly, it's just another way to cut the leeks. --- The top exchange ecosystem sector, emmm... how much is this label worth?

Well, this is an inevitable iteration of Web3 infrastructure. The centralized approach should have been phased out long ago. That said, making money just from consumption data is indeed a bit of a gamble. I remain optimistic, but let's wait until it actually lands. Another DePIN project has entered the TON ecosystem. It feels like this track is about to be overwhelmed. Currently, various decentralized solutions are racing wildly. Who will survive until the end is really hard to say. Users can both use services and share in the profits. If this model can really be implemented, it would be amazing... Anyway, I’m approaching it with skepticism.

Is consumption data really a way to make money? Sounds a bit suspicious. How could traditional telecoms possibly give up this piece of the cake? Wait, can this really work? Or is it just another hype? Honestly, the TON ecosystem has been quite active lately, but whether Depinsim is reliable remains to be seen. Virtual number services are dead; is the Web3 successor coming? That's interesting. The potential for eSIM is quite large, but will users actually adopt it, or is it just a small circle of self-entertainment? The opportunity definitely exists, but not all pigs can fly, haha. This kind of data sharing model seems naturally suited for the blockchain; it's much more transparent than the Web2 black box approach. Decentralized infrastructure is indeed the trend, but can this project survive the bull and bear cycles? How to put it, it looks like an opportunity but also prone to failure. Let's see how it develops later. Making money from consumption? I feel like this sounds a bit like multi-level marketing talk, or is the project itself solid?

Virtual verification code services are dead; switching to decentralized ones anyway, since it's all about scams. At least this time, users can share the pie? But are all TON-based projects now just gambling?

Earning while spending sounds good, but when it comes to actually using it, that's the real key. --- Another hot topic and replacement—can it really be implemented every time people say so? --- TON ecosystem is back again. Is Depinsim reliable this time? --- Traditional platforms collapse, and Web3 can directly take over? That logic sounds a bit optimistic haha. --- Decentralization of eSIM is indeed an interesting idea. Let's wait and see how to break the deadlock. --- Endorsement from top exchanges is just the beginning; the key still depends on user experience. --- Another round of DePIN and token incentives—getting a bit tired of the aesthetic. --- "Earn while spending" has always sounded good, but how much you can actually earn is the real question.
