The integration of DeNet, a groundbreaking decentralized storage protocol, with the peaq L1 blockchain marks a significant milestone in the evolution of the DePIN ecosystem. DeNet, known for its innovative approach to data storage for DePIN, has decided to migrate from Polygon to peaq, a move that is expected to have far-reaching implications for the global DePIN sector.
With a mission to empower individuals and businesses to regain ownership of their data, DeNet has already garnered a sizable user base of 100,000 DeNet Storage users worldwide. The platform boasts over 13 million uploaded files and a tokenized storage capacity of nine petabytes, demonstrating its ability to deliver value to the Web3 community. By transitioning to peaq, DeNet is poised to tap into a wider audience and accelerate its growth trajectory.
As part of the integration process, DeNet will mint two utility tokens – TBY and DENET – and deploy key smart contracts on the peaq network. The migration will also involve transitioning main applications, nodes, and the highly successful Store&Earn program to peaq, opening up new opportunities for developers and projects within the ecosystem.
Rafik Singatullin, cofounder of DeNet, is optimistic about the potential impact of the integration, stating that the DePIN Storage Protocol will enable individuals to contribute their unused storage capacity securely and profitably. This flexibility, according to Singatullin, positions DeNet as a pioneering force in the evolving data storage landscape.
Leonard Dorlöchter, cofounder of peaq, envisions the collaboration with DeNet leading to the unveiling of new data storage designs that have the potential to revolutionize the industry. The DePIN model, as Dorlöchter highlights, can democratize the data economy and make it more sustainable and equitable for all stakeholders.
Through DeNet’s DePIN, users can leverage their unused hard drive space to provide decentralized data storage services and earn rewards in return. This model not only offers developers limitless scalability but also provides the community with a secure and private data storage solution that rewards active participation.
The partnership between DeNet and peaq adds to the growing ecosystem of innovative projects joining the peaq network, including Kaisar Network and Ec³. As the DePIN sector continues to evolve, the collaboration between DeNet and peaq is set to drive significant advancements in decentralized data storage and pave the way for a more inclusive and sustainable data economy.
