Industries
Data and energy are the lifeblood of any AI-driven economy but culture is still king.
Cross-cutting technologies—blockchain, AI, IoT, edge computing—are converging to create decentralized protocol infrastructure networks (DePINs). As permissionless, truth-bound protocols mature and tokenized asset ecosystems grow, increasingly innovative applications will emerge across all industries.
