TinTinLandIn the wave of blockchain technology innovation, we have witnessed the rise of DeFi, the Play-to-Earn phenomenon of GameFi, and the popularity of NFTs. However, traditional physical infrastructure, dominated by capital-rich enterprises, often forms monopolies that hinder competition and innovation, resulting in poor experiences. The emergence of DePIN is an effective response to this issue.
DePIN aids in the rapid construction of efficient real-world infrastructure driven by crypto-native capital. Its uniqueness lies in facilitating the bidirectional flow between synthetic crypto assets and real-world assets. Over the past two years, many projects have migrated to more mature public blockchains. The largest DePIN project migrated from its own Layer 1 to Solana in the second quarter of 2023. Among the three largest financings in 2024, two were tailored for DePIN-focused Layer 1s, including IoTeX, which successfully raised $50 million. This highlights the enormous potential of DePIN.
DePIN may coexist with traditional infrastructure, establishing a balanced system in the “last mile” areas where traditional systems struggle to reach, forming a strong complement. This is not only a challenge to traditional infrastructure construction but also a bold bet on solving real-world problems through crypto-economic incentives.
In the context of the continuous evolution of blockchain technology, TinTinLand’s “Web3 Theme Learning Month” proudly launches its second event, starting on August 19, focusing on the DePIN field. We have invited renowned DePIN projects such as DePHY, IoTeX, CESS Network, and Phala to co-launch a series of activity tasks. These tasks will help developers enhance their skills, explore projects, and promote innovation and deep development within the Web3 industry through community interaction and exchange.

🎯 Project Introduction
We have invited the most innovative projects in the industry to participate in this event.
DePHY
DePHY is an integrated DePIN framework designed to reduce project development costs and time. It offers open-source hardware, a decentralized messaging layer, and automated token economy execution features. Through TEE and ZK oracles, DePHY enables secure, verifiable, and low-latency transmission of data from hardware to the blockchain.

IoTeX
IoTeX is DePIN’s only modular infrastructure platform connecting smart devices and real-world data to blockchains. IoTeX’s middleware solution W3bstream provides the computation and verification of real-world data, bringing it on-chain while offering the modularity and customizability builders need to facilitate mass adoption. As the leading provider of DePIN infrastructure, IoTeX facilitates new rewards from devices and on/off-chain activity for users, turns personal devices into communal economies, and tokenizes the “data of everything.” Backed by a global team of 60+ research scientists and engineers, IoTeX combines its EVM-compatible L1 blockchain, off-chain compute middleware, and open hardware to connect billions of smart devices, machines and sensors, and dApps across the physical and digital world.

CESS
CESS is the next-generation decentralized data infrastructure and CD2N network based on blockchain technology. It provides a full-stack solution for the storage and retrieval of high-frequency dynamic data in Web3.
The CESS Data Value Network is a Layer 1 infrastructure built on the principles of DePIN, characterized by decentralization, efficiency, security, privacy, and scalability. CESS supports large-scale commercial storage and can accommodate breakthrough decentralized applications (dApps). It enables the valorization and free circulation/sharing of data while ensuring user data privacy and sovereignty are maintained through a trustless system. This, in turn, helps to build a prosperous, diverse, and data-sovereign ecosystem for the new data economy.
