DePin Networks 正在通过在现实世界的基础设施中支持去中心化项目来改变技术。这是最近 DePin 领域发生的事情。

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

去中心化物理基础设施网络（DePin）领域的主要发展

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，去中心化物理基础设施网络（DePin）领域取得了一些重大进展，该领域正在通过在现实世界基础设施中实现去中心化项目来改变科技行业。以下是一些关键事件的详细介绍：

VanEck Invests In DAWN

VanEck 投资 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).

投资公司 VanEck 宣布参与一个名为 DAWN（去中心化自治无线网络）的去中心化项目。该公司的目标是建立一个按照分散原则运营的无线服务提供商。根据 VanEck 在社交媒体上发布的帖子，DAWN 的做法可以比作“互联网的 AirBnB”，旨在为传统 ISP（互联网服务提供商）创建一个去中心化的竞争对手。

"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.

“虽然互联网的使用呈爆炸式增长，但提供互联网的基础设施却受到传统模式的限制，难以跟上现代需求的步伐。仅在美国，就有超过 8000 万美国人只有一种高速互联网选择，从而形成了当地的垄断，几乎没有创新的激励，”VanEck 说道。

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对该项目的投资额为250万美元。这标志着 DePin 参与该公司的罕见事例，该公司主要专注于为加密货币和人工智能初创公司提供资金，也以主要 ETF 发行人而闻名。尽管参与了 DAWN，但 VanEck 在其社交媒体公告中并未明确提及其计划进一步扩大在 DePin 领域的影响力。

Exabits Receives $15 Million Seed Funding

Exabits 获得 1500 万美元种子资金

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 领域的另一则消息涉及 Exabits，一家将 AI GPU 代币化的初创公司，宣布已获得 1500 万美元的种子资金。该公司通过代币实现 GPU 计算资源的部分所有权，并在社交媒体上分享了本轮融资的消息。据报道，在新一轮融资后，Exabits 的估值达到 1.5 亿美元，季度收入增长了 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.

鉴于人工智能研究的海量计算需求，GPU（图形处理单元）在德品人工智能生态系统中发挥着至关重要的作用。最近，提供“GPU 即服务”的公司 Aethir 建立了多个大规模合作伙伴关系，以探索该领域的各个子领域。相比之下，Exabits 提出了不同的愿景，目前已显示出希望。

IoTeX Joins Blockchain Association

IoTeX 加入区块链协会

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 领域的模块化基础设施而闻名，通过追求更友好的法规，正在为该领域开辟一个独特的方向。该公司在一篇博客文章中详细介绍了其努力，宣布其成为区块链协会（一个倡导加密货币的组织）的成员，并在最近的一次政策峰会上分享了“DePIN 工作组”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.

“与政策制定者的合作是建立繁荣的 DePIN 生态系统的基石。通过加入区块链协会，IoTeX 正在为 DePIN 项目的启动创造明确的途径。在明确的指导下，我们可以共同释放去中心化基础设施的全部潜力。 IoTeX 首席执行官兼联合创始人 Raullen Chai 表示。

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.

这个政策领域的工作组还包括 DePin 领域的领导者，例如 Hedera 和 Helium（一家在 Solana 区块链上提供基础设施的公司）。在更广泛的加密/Web3 场景中，政治游说团体的数量不断增加，这些团体在上次美国大选中发挥了重要作用。通过加入此类倡导运动，IoTeX 为 DePin 领域的进一步创新做出了贡献。

Karrier One Launches WiFi Hotspots

Karrier One 推出 WiFi 热点

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.

最后，Karrier One 宣布推出去中心化 WiFi 热点设备，利用 SUI 网络扩大 DePin 在互联网接入方面的努力。该公司的举措使向各种运营商提供 WiFi 卸载服务的用户能够赚取 KONE 代币，即该协议的原生加密货币。为了纪念这一发布，该公司将赠送 300 台热点设备。

“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 基金会生态系统开发主管 Jameel Khalfan 表示：“当传统电信提供商难以跟上不断增长的需求时，Karrier One 正在利用 Sui 的技术来增加急需的容量并扩大服务不足地区的接入范围。”

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.

该公司还强调了与隋的密切合作，这超出了他们的标准关系，并得到了基金会的更大支持。通过这些努力，Karrier One 旨在通过 Sui 的区块链为去中心化 WiFi 访问做出贡献。
