TechFlow News — During the Twitter Space titled "When DePin Summer," jointly hosted by Bitget and NodeLab, Eric, Co-Founder of CocoCat, mentioned: "DePIN absolutely does not equal a public blockchain itself. As decentralized infrastructure, DePIN can be a peer-to-peer network, and so can a public blockchain. The two may or may not be compatible. However, one thing is certain: the DePIN network is more fundamental than the P2P consensus layer of a public blockchain. A single DePIN network can support various public blockchains within it.
DePIN doesn't necessarily require designing new custom hardware—it can also be a protocol, an open protocol. There are already numerous existing hardware devices available; utilizing these alone can yield significant results. Custom hardware should only be introduced based on functional requirements.
In advancing DePIN projects, the revenue loop must ultimately form a flywheel driven by actual capacity provision. Selling hardware or token mining can only serve as temporary or supplementary measures at certain stages, but should never be the sole model."
