DePin Networks 正在透過在現實世界的基礎設施中支援去中心化專案來改變技術。這是最近 DePin 領域發生的事情。

Major Developments In The Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePin) Sector

去中心化實體基礎設施網路（DePin）領域的主要發展

Recently, there have been several significant developments in the Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePin) sector, which is transforming the tech industry by enabling decentralized projects in real-world infrastructure. Here's a closer look at some of the key happenings:

最近，去中心化實體基礎設施網路（DePin）領域取得了一些重大進展，該領域正在透過在現實世界基礎設施中實現去中心化專案來改變科技產業。以下是一些關鍵事件的詳細介紹：

VanEck Invests In DAWN

VanEck 投資 DAWN

Investment firm VanEck has announced its involvement with a decentralized project named DAWN (Decentralized Autonomous Wireless Networks). The company's goal is to establish a wireless service provider that operates on decentralized principles. According to a post on social media by VanEck, DAWN's approach, which can be likened to "AirBnB for the internet," aims to create a decentralized competitor to traditional ISPs (internet service providers).

投資公司 VanEck 宣布參與一個名為 DAWN（去中心化自治無線網路）的去中心化計畫。該公司的目標是建立一個按照分散原則運作的無線服務提供者。根據 VanEck 在社交媒體上發布的帖子，DAWN 的做法可以比作“互聯網的 AirBnB”，旨在為傳統 ISP（互聯網服務提供商）創建一個去中心化的競爭對手。

"While internet usage has exploded, the infrastructure delivering it has been constrained by legacy models that struggle to keep pace with modern demands. In the US alone, over 80 million Americans only have one option for high-speed Internet, creating local monopolies with little incentive to innovate," VanEck stated.

「雖然網路的使用呈爆炸式增長，但提供網路的基礎設施卻受到傳統模式的限制，難以跟上現代需求的步伐。光是在美國，就有超過8,000 萬美國人只有一種高速網路選擇，從而形成了當地的壟斷，幾乎沒有創新的激勵，」VanEck 說。

The investment made by VanEck in this project amounts to $2.5 million. This marks a rare instance of DePin involvement for the firm, which has predominantly focused on funding crypto and AI startups and is also known for being a major ETF issuer. Despite its involvement with DAWN, VanEck did not explicitly mention in its social media announcement that it plans to further expand its presence in the DePin sector.

VanEck對該項目的投資額為250萬美元。這標誌著 DePin 參與該公司的罕見事例，該公司主要專注於為加密貨幣和人工智慧新創公司提供資金，也以主要 ETF 發行人而聞名。儘管參與了 DAWN，但 VanEck 在其社交媒體公告中並未明確提及其計劃進一步擴大在 DePin 領域的影響力。

Exabits Receives $15 Million Seed Funding

Exabits 獲得 1500 萬美元種子資金

Another piece of news from the DePin realm involves Exabits, a startup that tokenizes AI GPUs, announcing that it has secured $15 million in seed funding. The company, which enables fractional ownership of GPU compute resources through tokens, shared the news of this funding round on social media. With the new funding, Exabits has reportedly attained a valuation of $150 million and experienced a quarterly revenue increase of 300%.

DePin 領域的另一則消息涉及 Exabits，一家將 AI GPU 代幣化的新創公司，宣布已獲得 1500 萬美元的種子資金。該公司透過代幣實現 GPU 運算資源的部分所有權，並在社群媒體上分享了本輪融資的消息。據報導，在新一輪融資後，Exabits 的估值達到 1.5 億美元，季度營收成長了 300%。

GPUs (graphics processing units) play a vital role in the DePin AI ecosystem, given the massive computing needs of AI research. Recently, Aethir, a company offering "GPU-as-a-service," has engaged in several large-scale partnerships to explore various subsectors of the field. In contrast, Exabits is presenting a different vision, which is showing promise at the moment.

鑑於人工智慧研究的大量運算需求，GPU（圖形處理單元）在德品人工智慧生態系統中發揮著至關重要的作用。最近，提供「GPU 即服務」的公司 Aethir 建立了多個大規模合作夥伴關係，以探索該領域的各個子領域。相比之下，Exabits 提出了不同的願景，目前已顯示出希望。

IoTeX Joins Blockchain Association

IoTeX 加入區塊鏈協會

IoTeX, known for its modular infrastructure in the DePin space, is venturing into a unique direction for this domain by pursuing friendlier regulations. The company detailed its efforts in a blog post, announcing its membership in the Blockchain Association, a group advocating for crypto, and sharing updates from the "DePIN Working Group" at a recent policy summit.

IoTeX 以其在 DePin 領域的模組化基礎設施而聞名，透過追求更友善的法規，正在為該領域開闢一個獨特的方向。該公司在一篇部落格文章中詳細介紹了其努力，宣布其成為區塊鏈協會（一個倡導加密貨幣的組織）的成員，並在最近的一次政策峰會上分享了「DePIN 工作小組」的最新消息。

"Collaboration with policymakers is the cornerstone of building a thriving DePIN… ecosystem. By joining Blockchain Association, IoTeX is [creating] clear pathways for DePIN projects to launch. Together, we can unlock the full potential of decentralized infrastructure… under the guidance of clear regulation," said Raullen Chai, CEO and Co-Founder of IoTeX.

「與政策制定者的合作是建立繁榮的DePIN 生態系統的基石。透過加入區塊鏈協會，IoTeX 正在為DePIN 計畫的啟動創造明確的途徑。在明確的指導下，我們可以共同釋放去中心化基礎設施的全部潛力。

This working group in the realm of policy also includes leaders in the DePin sector, such as Hedera and Helium, a company offering infrastructure on the Solana blockchain. In the broader crypto/Web3 scene, there has been a growing presence of political lobbying groups, which played a substantial role in the last US election. By joining this type of advocacy movement, IoTeX contributes to further innovation in the DePin domain.

這個政策領域的工作小組還包括 DePin 領域的領導者，例如 Hedera 和 Helium（在 Solana 區塊鏈上提供基礎設施的公司）。在更廣泛的加密/Web3 場景中，政治遊說團體的數量不斷增加，這些團體在上次美國大選中發揮了重要作用。透過加入此類倡議運動，IoTeX 為 DePin 領域的進一步創新做出了貢獻。

Karrier One Launches WiFi Hotspots

Karrier One 推出 WiFi 熱點

Finally, Karrier One has announced the launch of its decentralized WiFi hotspot devices, utilizing the SUI network to expand DePin efforts in internet access. The company's initiative enables users who provide WiFi offloading services to various carriers to earn KONE tokens, the protocol's native cryptocurrency. To mark the launch, the company is hosting a giveaway of 300 hotspot devices.

最後，Karrier One 宣布推出去中心化 WiFi 熱點設備，利用 SUI 網路擴大 DePin 在網路存取方面的努力。該公司的舉措使向各種營運商提供 WiFi 卸載服務的用戶能夠賺取 KONE 代幣，即該協議的原生加密貨幣。為了紀念這項發布，該公司將贈送 300 台熱點設備。

“At a time when traditional telecom providers are struggling to keep pace with growing demand, Karrier One is leveraging Sui's technology to add much-needed capacity and expand access to underserved areas,” said Jameel Khalfan, Head of Ecosystem Development for Sui Foundation.

Sui 基金會生態系統開發主管 Jameel Khalfan 表示：“當傳統電信提供商難以跟上不斷增長的需求時，Karrier One 正在利用 Sui 的技術來增加急需的容量並擴大服務不足地區的接入範圍。”

The company also highlighted the close collaboration with Sui, which went beyond their standard relationship and involved greater support from the foundation. Through these efforts, Karrier One aims to contribute to decentralized WiFi access through Sui's blockchain.

該公司還強調了與隋的密切合作，這超出了他們的標準關係，並得到了基金會的更大支持。透過這些努力，Karrier One 旨在透過 Sui 的區塊鏈為去中心化 WiFi 訪問做出貢獻。
