Could DePins Become The Cloud Providers of Crypto ?

DePIN has always been dominating with projects that reward people for contributing real-world resources like storage or network capacity. It was an interesting shift because the network grows through a distributed community instead of relying on centralized infrastructures only.

Many of  us already know the likes of Filecoin, Roam and Nodepay but I recently came across DoubleZero (2Z), a community-powered fiber network where contributors provide private fiber links while being rewarded with its Solana-based token which has listed on Bitget with a Candybomb and Community campaign.

It got me thinking, if DePINs really take off, could they become as important in crypto the same way cloud providers became important for Web2 ?

Conceptually, DePINs have the potential to become crypto-based cloud service providers, as they combine decentralized physical infrastructure with token incentives. However, to truly compete with traditional cloud providers, they must demonstrate the stability, security, and scalability of their networks.
