Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePin) is a novel approach that intertwines the core principles of decentralization and the token economy, central to blockchain technology, heralding a new era of infrastructure development that is more efficient, equitable, and driven by community involvement. that make it possible to bridge web2 business with web3 technology. <ref>{{Cite web |last=Ertugrul |first=Cagla |date=February 06, 2024 |title=A New Era Of Infrastructure: The Rise Of DePIN |url=https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/a-new-era-of-infrastructure:-the-rise-of-depin |url-status=live}}</ref>
DePIN can help developing countries grow faster. For example India has a massive population of 1.43 billion people, the penetration of broadband connectivity is low. It reports only 30 million citizens have regular access to WiFi, with just under 50% having no access of any kind.<ref>{{Cite web |last=FORTIS |first=SAVANNAH |date=MAR 15, 2024 |title=DePINs to decentralize internet access and connectivity in India |url=https://cointelegraph.com/news/depins-decentralize-internet-access-india |url-status=live |website=cointelegraph}}</ref> Community driven initiative can bridge the Digital Divide much faster.
