As an experienced crypto investor with a keen interest in decentralized technologies, I found the latest episode of Hashing It Out particularly enlightening. The discussion on Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) was both informative and thought-provoking.
In this latest installment of “Hashing It Out”, our charismatic host Elisha Owusu Akyaw, also known as GhCryptoGuy, dives deep into the fast-paced landscape of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN). Accompanying him are none other than Harrison Hines, the visionary CEO and co-founder of Fleek Network, and Kyle Okamoto, the brilliant CTO of Aethir. Together, they navigate this exciting new terrain.
They investigate how DePIN restructures sectors by distributing access to resources such as GPUs and computing resources, which were previously controlled by a handful of major cloud providers like AWS and Google. The goal is to disrupt their monopolistic hold on the market.
Hines clarified that DePIN represents the next step for companies such as Uber and Airbnb, who initially disrupted centralized supply networks. Unlike these corporations, however, blockchain technology allows these decentralized networks to be managed collectively rather than being controlled by a single entity. This structure, according to Hines, aims to rectify the frequent conflict of interests observed in conventional platforms, where operators and owners often have opposing goals.
Okamoto pointed out the inefficiencies within the conventional cloud computing system. He voiced his concern over the control held by companies such as AWS and Google Cloud, labeling them as an oligopoly that limits access to essential resources like GPUs. Instead, he advocated for distributed networks like Aethir’s, which rely on community-managed and community-run compute clusters, as a means to promote equal resource access while enhancing overall efficiency.
On the other hand, both Hines and Okamoto agreed that decentralization spans a continuum. Hines highlighted that not all Web3 initiatives are completely decentralized, especially since DNS (Domain Name System) remains a major centralization point. However, the field is progressing, with projects actively striving to decentralize various components of their system over time.
The discussion shed light on the potential of DePIN to disrupt existing industries while facing challenges in achieving complete decentralization. The rest of the episodes look at the future of the DePIN trend and how it could impact other sectors in the tech world.
