Decentralized Physical Infrastructure (DePIN)
Building the physical layer of the new economy. Community-owned sensor networks, renewable energy grids, and logistics infrastructure, funded, deployed, and governed by the people who use them.
The Three Pillars
Access
Anyone can contribute hardware (a solar panel, a wifi hotspot, a delivery drone) to the network and earn rewards. Participation lowers the barrier to infrastructure investment. You don't need to be a utility company to power your community.
Agency
Contributors vote on network parameters: pricing, coverage expansion, upgrade schedules. The community shapes the infrastructure to its own needs, not the profit motive of a distant corporation.
Accountability
Every kilowatt generated, every packet routed, every delivery completed is logged. Rewards are distributed algorithmically based on verified contribution. No one gets paid for phantom nodes or off-network activity. Proof of Work, but for real work.
The Technology Stack
Artificial Intelligence
AI optimizes resource allocation across the network. It predicts demand (energy, bandwidth, delivery capacity) and incentivizes suppliers to provision resources where and when they are needed most. Dynamic pricing ensures stability.
Automation
Devices register themselves, report metrics, and receive payments without human intervention. A solar inverter automatically sells excess energy to the grid and receives MKVLI tokens in return. The "Internet of Things" becomes the "Economy of Things."
Blockchain
Resource contributions are recorded as VRDIs. A sensor submitting temperature data, a node routing traffic—each gets a verifiable record of its work. These records form the basis for reward calculation and network health monitoring.
