AI ​​Mirage in the Crypto World

The article explores the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the cryptocurrency field and the challenges it faces. It points out that while AI technology holds potential for innovation in cryptocurrencies, its practical application may be influenced by market competition and regulation. The article emphasizes that decentralization alone is not enough to provide a competitive advantage for AI products based on cryptocurrencies; they must also match centralized products in functionality. Additionally, the article suggests that the value of many AI tokens may be exaggerated, lacking sustainable demand-driving factors. Nevertheless, there are still widespread opportunities at the intersection of AI and cryptocurrencies, but the development and realization of these opportunities may take time.

DePin, The New trends in the Crypto Bull Market

DePIN is an abbreviation for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure, referring to projects that require hardware devices to deploy their decentralized networks. IoTex, along with Foresight Venture and FutureMoney Group, established the DePIN Surf Accelerator, providing projects with financial support, media promotion, and entrepreneurial experience. This includes Ator Network, InferiX GPU, Wayru Network, and PowerPod, all of which leverage blockchain technology to allow the general public to participate in network operations and earn incomes. InferiX provides accelerated computing services, Wayru Network provides wireless network services, and PowerPod builds a decentralized electric vehicle charging network. Unlike DeFi projects, DePIN places more emphasis on expanding user base, but balancing token subsidies with sustainable project development is a challenge. This track has tremendous potential and is worth paying attention to.

DePIN Popular Science Article: How do Infrastructure like IoTeX, DePHY, and peaq Operate?

This article reviews the process of IoT devices generating data, storing data, and rolling up to the blockchain. It also introduces the DePIN infrastructure platform, which can help project teams quickly launch DePIN application projects. DePIN utilizes blockchain for incentive distribution and token allocation, requiring the use of public-private keys to generate and verify physical proof of work. To prevent Sybil attacks, DePIN device manufacturers monopolize the generation authority of identity information and expose malicious behavior through social consensus. DePHY provides DID authentication services to ensure the credibility of data sources. DePHY also provides a co-processor to listen to finalized messages on the message network and perform state transitions. Both DePHY and IoTeX choose to collect data off-chain and then roll up to the chain, with DePHY focusing on decentralized data availability layers and IoTeX emphasizing binding handlers to different events.
