1 David Rhodes, CEO of Laboratory Company, hosted without permission On the Lightspeed podcast This week, I gave me an overview of the pipeline network, the company’s upcoming content connection network (CDN) that is built on Solana.
Make its stadium some of the intuitive meaning: CDNS- which has temporarily stored online content on servers all over the world has not seen to approach ultimate users-a lot of innovation 25 years ago. PIPE can allow the content to be stored even closer to users, making their content content faster.
But outside the product itself, what left the impression of me was the disciplined approach that Rhodus described to his DePin project.
Rhodos said the tubes will be “harsh” about the distinctive symbol.
“We are emitting the distinctive symbols when completing useful work,” said Rhodos. “Although we want a lot of contract, we also want to coordinate it in the areas that customers will find useful.” This may seem to focus on commercial deals as it complements the current CDN infrastructure in low -performance areas, and is supposed to use the distinctive symbol to stimulate the operation of the knot in those areas.
DePin is welcomed as one of the most business sectors in Solana, but the bottom line has proven that these companies are difficult so far.
Companies like Helium and HIVEMAPPER are filling power from old infrastructure providers and controlling ordinary people, but noble as this goal may be, the economy does not always have much meaning.
block a report From the end of 2024, it was found that 350 DePin Tokens has $ 50 billion in the market value. However, this category of startups has struggled to find a comprehensive market accreditation and justify this collective evaluation.
This is partly the reason that Rhodos advised potential founders to “go to the maximum extent” before adding encryption items to a business.
“Do not focus on encryption at all until you get users and revenues,” said Rhodos.
Delivery days may simply need a type of mining devices and obtain profitable symbolic bonuses, regardless of the value of the knot for the larger network to finish if the DePin sector will ripen in the past and create sustainable companies.
