Introducing PING: Decentralizing Gaming with peaq Integration
peaq, the layer-1 blockchain for the Machine Economy, is excited to announce the latest addition to its ecosystem – PING. PING is revolutionizing the gaming industry by introducing a decentralized cloud service for Web3 and Web2 games through its innovative DePIN technology.
The DePIN allows gamers to earn rewards by sharing their idle computing resources with game developers, AI startups in need of GPU capacities, and crypto miners. This new model not only benefits gamers but also provides developers with a cost-effective and transparent alternative to traditional cloud services.
As part of its collaboration with peaq, PING will facilitate laptop purchases with stablecoins on the network and launch its token for the Machine Economy. These laptops will serve as a decentralized backend for online games, offering a range of uses beyond gaming, such as AI training and rendering visually-rich virtual experiences.
PING has already partnered with 20 gaming projects, including Yuliverse and Seraph, to run on its platform, showcasing the potential impact of this innovative approach to gaming infrastructure.
“The DePIN model empowers gamers to take control of the infrastructure supporting their favorite games,” says Leonard Dorlöchter, co-founder of peaq. “PING is bringing this vision to life, and we are excited to welcome them to the peaq ecosystem, where their launch is set to transform the gaming industry.”
Manufactured by ThundeRobot, the PING laptop is a powerhouse equipped with a 16-core Intel i7-14650HX processor, NVIDIA RTX4070 GPU, and 16 GB of RAM, making it ideal for running demanding Web2 and Web3 games. With over 2,000 units sold, PING laptop owners will enjoy exclusive benefits within the ecosystem, including priority staking and rewards from partners.
In addition to enabling stablecoin purchases on peaq, PING will implement smart contracts for gamers to mint their laptops as NFTs, ensuring ownership in a secure and decentralized manner. All devices on the DePIN will be equipped with self-sovereign peaq IDs and the PING token will be launched natively on peaq.
