Fluence Urges Cryptocurrency Firms to Commit to Decentralized Infrastructure with DePIN Pledge
Cryptocurrency firms and industry players are being urged to commit to using decentralized physical infrastructure network solutions through the DePIN Pledge, an initiative backed by major organizations including IoTeX, Polygon, Helium, and Consensys. The cloudless computing platform Fluence is driving this initiative, encouraging firms and projects to publicly commit to decentralized infrastructure, aiming to build more transparent and resilient ecosystems.
According to Fluence, as the web3 and cryptocurrency space continues to evolve, maintaining decentralization has become more critical than ever. However, decentralization has often remained an ideal rather than a reality in the web3 ecosystem. The emergence of cloud hyperscalers and artificial intelligence computing has led many projects to rely on centralized infrastructure, straying from their original decentralized principles.
Benefits of the DePIN Pledge
Firms that commit to the pledge will be listed in a public directory on the DePIN Pledge website, allowing traders and users to browse and support companies that actively champion decentralization through their technology and infrastructure. Additionally, projects and firms that commit to the pledge will receive a manifesto and a DePIN Pledge NFT, which is auditable on the Ethereum blockchain and symbolizes their dedication to decentralization.
The DePIN Pledge NFT can be displayed across platforms and social media channels, serving as a badge of honor for companies that prioritize decentralization. The initiative is supported by major crypto firms such as Infura, Consensys, IoTeX, Infura, Outlier Ventures, Polygon, Helium, and Blockscout.
