So @kylesamani would rep Solana et DePIN at the first crypto summit 👀
@santiagoroel you need to be at these summits too... however you can.
Imagine taking the message from your last episode to the Whitehouse

Building DePIN is such incredible fun. Here is whats been on my mind lately. 🤔

A while back, @anoncast shared some links that showed data that is missing from /arweave's permanent data storage. This quickly sparked a debate as to whether the user data was dropped from storage by the network or whether it was ever published in the first place.
All that reminded me of this talk from @devcon 3 that discussed some of the challenges of attributing fault for data unavailability in Ethereum plasma. How do you prove who is at fault in such a situation?

It's just best not to make room for such situations at all, because it is going to be a nightmare to build security on such assumptions.
What does this mean for /ao?
🤔...and what does this mean for my work on the m3tering protocol that leverages the guarantees of Arweave?

Who's been following the development of HIP 138?
what do you guys think? 🤔
I have mixed feelings about this one:
🔶 I think subnetwork tokens are a honking great idea, esp for implementing unencumbered network expansion strategies.
🔶 The thing got too complex, even for me. At a point I stopped trying to understand it opted for the "wait & see" approach. I really didn't know which tokens to buy any more.

The ondevice zk module from @faust expanded to all devices on @weatherxm (cc @vrypan.eth ) to generate proof of untampered data including calibration, streamed to Blocksense network (zk oracle built by @zahary.eth ) and fed to products like Skysight (built by Matthew Scutter) is a match made in heaven 🤯

AgroShield, developed by Ensuro, Azzegura, and WeatherXM, is a blockchain-based agricultural protection system that helps Colombian farmers manage weather risks. Using smart contracts and real-time weather data, it provides automatic compensation for drought and excess rainfall, making coverage accessible and affordable for essential crops.

Maybe I should reconsider my expectation that DePIN needs to achieve some form of consensus.
But without consensus, we create a need to trust participants in the network, or a coordinator of some sort, which isn't what DePIN is about.
It's would be entirely impractical to expect DePIN devs to not use any off-chain components when designing these network applications. But then for DePINs to truly become trustless and permissionless, they would have to learn a lot from the design of L2.
Perhaps that is the endgame of every DePIN, a permissionless off-chain app-specific network, settling token incentives back to it's host blockchain. In other words, an L2.

Unlike DeFi, a significant portion of DePIN activity can happen offchain ...and unless the DePIN has implemented and is reaching some forms of consensus, I would argue that DePINs need DA (data availability) as much as L2s
🤔 We currently use /arweave for this in the M3tering Protocol, a permanent log of all activity in the protocol, but for must projects (including M3tering), I think a @celestia or EigenDA might suffice.

I came across this paper in 2021 or there about, and it had an outsized influence in my thought process leading up to the formation of the M3tering Protocol 2 years later.
I may not agree with everything it says today. But I 100% would always agree that energy should be consumed in the form and location of it's production (or as closely as possible). Our energy infra would be much resilient, decentralized, efficient and environmentally friendly in this path, and that's the path we can take with DePIN for energy.

This paper was way ahead of it's time. Amory Lovins advocacy for "Soft Energy Paths" would directly translate to everything we are advocating for in web3.
Developing energy infra that encourages energy to be consumed in the form & location of it's production, is an underprioritized goal of our modern society.

The M3tering protocol indeed fits some characteristics of a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN), such as decentralization and physical infrastructure. But it raises some questions when it comes to whether it operates as a true "network" in the same sense as other DePIN projects such as /arweave, /weatherxm or /foam.
Unlike DeFi, a significant portion of DePIN activity can happen offchain ...and unless the DePIN has implemented and is reaching some forms of consensus, I would argue that DePINs need DA (data availability) as much as L2s

The @lilypad-tech Discord community has nearly 1,000 members, and it's been so cool to see it grow as we build the infrastructure for a truly open AI.
If you have an idle GPU that you can lend to the network in exchange for some extra Lilybits_, or if you need to run containerised apps and workloads on a GPU at a lower cost than owning or renting one from the cloud, this is the community for you.
Join us on Discord, and together, let's build out a decentralised and democratised open AI.

He does an amazing job explaining to a non-crypto audience why tokens are a better way of doing open source and open marketplaces.
