DePIN for Human Connection

​DePIN for human connection: Can crypto revive the salon?

​The roots of salons go back to 16th century Italy; salons helped spark the Enlightenment. Salon values: intellectual discourse, free and open exchange of ideas, strong community. At heart, these are also the values of Web3. 

​Decentralized physical infrastructure networks are designed to coordinate physical resources. Can this be done for human connection? Can the tools of Web3 expand IRL conversation, camaraderie, and community?

​Post-Covid, the world hungers for real, offline, face-to-face human interaction. Salons and other intimate gatherings are on the rise. Crypto can make them the building blocks of a global movement.
