The DePIN Manifesto

The DePIN Manifesto

// ---------------- Preamble ----------------

// ------ Preamble ------

In a world that is increasingly centralized and controlled by a handful of companies, the adoption of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) is not just an opportunity; it's a necessity.

Power is concentrated in centralized silos where corporations and governments dictate the rules, exploiting infrastructure to consolidate control. We need decentralized infrastructure to maximize resilience, equity and adaptability in governance, economies, and innovation.

The age of DePIN is here: the technology and the networks have matured into institutional grade solutions at a time when the risks associated with centralized infrastructure have never been clearer. We can break the grip of monopolies, redistributing power and control to individuals and communities by adopting and scaling DePIN.

DePIN is not just a framework, but a collective movement empowering all of us.

// ---------------- Core Principles ----------------

// ----- Core Principles -----

1

Open Standards, Open Access

Gatekeeping is oppressive. DePIN eliminates barriers, ensuring infrastructure is interoperable and accessible to anyone.

2

Decentralized Infrastructure for AI

AI must not be controlled by just a few centralized entities. DePIN ensures that the infrastructure, data and compute on which AI models train and operate are open, accountable, and transparently governed.

3

Economic Justice

The age of exploitation is over. DePIN tokenized economies return value to providers, builders, and operators—those who create and maintain the networks.

4

Resilience Through Decentralization

Centralized systems are vulnerable—they collapse, censor, and corrupt. DePIN creates networks that are adaptable, censorship-resistant, and unstoppable.

5

Sustainability

Up to 50% of global compute capacity is idle. DePIN platforms ensure optimal utilization of resources, reducing inefficiencies and minimizing carbon footprint.

// ---------------- Vision ----------------

// ----- Vision -----

We see a future where:

1

Communities own and control the infrastructure that shapes their lives.  AI is decentralized and serves humanity, not corporations or states.

2

Physical and digital systems converge seamlessly, unlocking resilience and freedom.

3

Innovation and progress thrive on the edge.

// ---------------- Call to Action ----------------

// ----- Call to Action -----

There is no time for complacency; centralized systems will not give up control willingly. Builders, visionaries, and communities: it’s time to fight back.

1

Prioritize infrastructure migration to DePIN

2

Educate and encourage users to choose DePIN-powered services

// ---------------- The DePIN Pledge ----------------

// ---- The DePIN Pledge ----

We pledge to take the first step in architecting the future by deploying a DePIN solution by EOY 2025. This is our commitment to drive DePIN adoption - delivering access, freedom, resilience and fairness.
