Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePin) are transforming the technology landscape, enabling innovative projects that integrate blockchain with real-world infrastructure.
Recently, io.net joined forces with Zerebro to enhance Ethereum validators, while MapMetrics revealed an exciting roadmap for its forthcoming token launch.
Fluence, a cloudless internet provider, has welcomed RapidNode and Supernoderz into its testing program, aiming to reduce cloud costs significantly.
A detailed look into recent advancements in the DePin sector, highlighting partnerships and innovations that showcase the future of decentralized technologies.
io.net Partners with Zerebro for Enhanced Ethereum Integration
In a significant development, io.net, a leader in decentralized GPU computing, partnered with Zerebro last week to enhance its Ethereum validator services. This collaboration aims to leverage io.net’s decentralized computing resources, further integrating AI with blockchain technology.
“This collaboration… marks an exciting step forward for autonomous agents and decentralized AI in general. Zerebro can build with io.net’s permissionless and globally distributed compute network, ensuring it has the ability to continuously sustain operations and to keep innovating,” stated Tausif Ahmed, Chief Business Development Officer at io.net, in an interview with COINOTAG.
Notably, io.net has been actively pursuing partnerships within the DePin and AI sectors, including a collaboration with TARS Protocol to reduce AI model training costs and an initiative with Zero1 Labs to advance decentralized AI development.
MapMetrics Charts Its Course for a Token Launch
MapMetrics, a navigation application emphasizing ‘drive-to-earn’ features, has unveiled a detailed roadmap for its impending token listing. The announcement followed a successful year marked by its integration into peaq’s DePin ecosystem known as the peaqosystem.
“While none of the projects building on peaq have launched their tokens yet, we are thrilled to announce that MapMetrics has been nominated as one of the very first projects to do so. This recognition underscores the trust in our project and its potential,” the company explained in their blog update.
Additionally, aside from its upcoming token launch, MapMetrics emphasized its recent updates aimed at enhancing navigation features, a strategic decision signaling long-term growth and user retention in its app.
Fluence Welcomes New Partners for Cloudless VM Testing
Cloudless internet service provider Fluence has officially introduced RapidNode and Supernoderz, by Spheron, as the first adopters in its DePin Cloudless VM testing initiative. This announcement highlights Fluence’s commitment to decentralization in the blockchain space.
“Around 90% of blockchain protocol nodes and validators are hosted in the centralized cloud. We believe that for Web3 to fulfill the promise of decentralization, it must require its underlying infrastructure to be decentralized. With the launch of VMs and our first partners, Fluence is finally making this possible,” proclaimed Tom Trowbridge, Co-Founder of Fluence.
Fluence’s cloudless virtual machines are designed to address traditional cloud service limitations, aiming to deliver services at costs up to 75% lower than conventional cloud providers.
Conclusion
Recent developments in the DePin sector clearly indicate a shift towards more integrated and cost-efficient solutions in blockchain technology. The partnerships formed by io.net, MapMetrics, and Fluence reflect a growing trend of incorporating decentralized frameworks into technological infrastructures, providing a promising future for the industry.
