Why DePINs Need an Industry-Specific Layer-1 Blockchain
Physical infrastructure is evolving into an intelligent, connected, and autonomous network. Yet, the value generated by machines flows predominantly to centralized platforms. DePINs (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) disrupt this paradigm by enabling communities to build and operate infrastructure collectively.
Blockchain technology coordinates machines, verifies activity, and distributes rewards fairly. This shift demands a purpose-built blockchain tailored for real-world applications, distinct from general-purpose chains like peaq.
