DePIN & Physical AI – Building the Infrastructure for Real-World Intelligence
Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) are shifting from crypto-native experiments to powering critical real-world industries. From GNSS-based positioning to AI-powered robotics, DePIN is becoming the backbone for global, affordable, and scalable infrastructure.
So… how does DePIN actually work in the physical world? Where does AI at the edge fit in? And which networks are truly ready to scale?
Join CryptoMondays Zurich for a high-energy, practical discussion with builders and researchers driving the future of DePIN & Physical AI. Part of Breaking DePIN: the Physical AI Unconference (https://www.breakingdepin.ch) in Zurich, this session is your chance to connect early and help shape Switzerland’s first DePIN community.
🔥 Panel Discussion Focus Areas:
🔹 DePIN 101 – What it is, and why the “infrastructure layer” matters
🔹 Physical AI – GNSS, robotics, and edge intelligence powered by decentralized networks
🔹 Scaling at Low Cost – Throughput, latency, and why some chains (e.g., Solana) focus on DePIN
🔹 Opportunities & Risks – Governance, incentives, and sustainable business models
🎤 Expert Speakers:
🔹 Jonas Hahn, Solana Foundation: The Rise of DePIN and How Solana Powers Decentralized Infrastructure at Scale
🔹 Dr. Mark Ballandies, Breaking DePIN: DePIN – Switzerland’s Digital Gotthard
