Fluence Launches DePIN Pledge to Accelerate Web3 Infrastructure Adoption

Denver, United States, February 26, 2025 – Fluence, a platform offering cloudless computing, announced the DePIN Pledge. This initiative encourages Web3 projects and crypto companies to publicly commit to using Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN).

The DePIN Pledge has significant industry support, including Consensys, Polygon, Helium, Gelato, Impossible Cloud Network, IoTEX, Infura, Spheron, BlockScout, Pocket Network, Outlier Ventures, NodeOps, IO.NET, OpenMesh, NuNet, RapidNode, AnyType, iExec, Aleph Cloud, Heurist, Derad Network, and others.

Decentralization: Beyond an Ideal

While decentralization is a core Web3 principle, many projects rely on centralized cloud services. This dependence limits the true potential of decentralization. The maturing DePIN ecosystem offers a solution, encouraging a shift from discussions to practical implementation.

Industry Leaders Support the DePIN Pledge

Tom Trowbridge, Fluence's Co-Founder & CEO, stated:

“We're at the start of DePIN adoption. We anticipate a broad range of DePIN products and services used by many projects and companies in the coming years. We aim to advance this movement by highlighting businesses using DePIN to improve operations.”

Clemens Wan, Consensys' Global Solutions Architect, added:

“Infura's DIN aims to provide high-performance Web3 infrastructure, including RPC, through decentralized mechanisms. We support the DePIN manifesto because Web3's promise can't be fully realized without decentralized core infrastructure. DIN ensures Web3’s building blocks reflect decentralization, transparency, and resilience.”

Jing Sun, IoTEX Co-founder, shared:

“IoTeX's mission is to enable true data ownership and decentralization. The DePIN Pledge shows how decentralized infrastructure improves security, transparency, and individual control. Together, we’re shaping the future of digital and physical trust.”

Understanding the DePIN Pledge

The DePIN Pledge is a call to action for projects and individuals to adopt decentralized infrastructure, promoting transparent and resilient ecosystems. The increasing demand for computing power by AI reinforces the need to move away from centralized control to protect security, privacy, and equitable access.

Commitment and Recognition

Participants receive:

  • A manifesto outlining DePIN adoption principles.
  • A DePIN Pledge NFT (auditable on the Ethereum blockchain).
  • A listing on the DePIN Pledge website.

This website will act as a marketplace, allowing users to identify companies committed to decentralized infrastructure.

A Movement Towards a Decentralized Future

The DePIN Pledge represents a movement toward a decentralized future prioritizing transparency, resilience, and fairness. Fluence is leading the charge in DePIN adoption, reinforcing values of access and freedom for all.
