Researchers from the University of Zürich’s Communication Systems Group, in collaboration with the Acurast Association, have recently published a study titled “Performance Analysis of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks and Centralized Clouds.” This study presents groundbreaking findings that shed light on the performance of these networks. This work showcases the potential of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) as a reliable alternative to conventional centralized cloud computing platforms.

DePINs utilize blockchain technology and the Internet of Things (IoT) to enhance data sovereignty, decrease reliance on centralized models, and bolster system resilie...
