XYO co-founder Markus Levin argues that DePINs can make AI more trustworthy, empower users and businesses alike, and usher in blockchain mass adoption.
Decentralized physical infrastructure networks, or DePINs, remain one of the hottest narratives in the Web3 space this cycle. While the technology has been around for several years, it has recently gained renewed excitement amid the return of bullish sentiment to the crypto market.
DePINs allow regular people to contribute their physical infrastructure resources — such as hard drive space or bandwidth — to help power a larger decentralized network. One such project is XYO, through which users store data for clients and receive crypto in return.
On episode 38 of The Agenda podcast, hosts Jonathan DeYoung and Ray Salmond speak with Markus Levin, co-founder and head of operations at XY Labs, the company behind the development of the XYO protocol. Levin makes the case that DePINs have the power to make artificial intelligence more trustworthy and have already made massive inroads into crypto mass adoption.
