DePIN: A Framework for Token-Incentivized Participatory Sensing

Understand

There is always demand for integrating data into microeconomic decision making.

• Participatory sensing deals with how real-world data may be extracted with stakeholder participation and resolves a problem of Big Data, which is concerned with monetizing data extracted from individuals without their participation.
• We present how Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePINs) extend participatory sensing.
• We discuss the threat models of these networks and how DePIN cryptoeconomics can advance participatory sensing.
