1/ Decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs) are gaining attention as they incentivize the deployment of hardware-based networks and IRL tasks through token rewards. @Old_Samster dives into platform options available for #DePIN projects and their implications. 🧵

2/ @Solana has emerged as a preferred choice for DePINs, offering advantages like high throughput, low fees, and a large developer community. Notably, projects like @Helium and @RenderToken have migrated to Solana due to its state compression, reduced costs and low storage reqs.

3/ However, @0xPolygon with its EVM compatibility has also become favored for DePINs. While it boasts high throughput and low fees, some projects, like @RenderToken, found @Solana to be a more cost-effective option.

4/ To address scalability challenges and customization needs, app-specific platforms have emerged. App-chains, like those in @Cosmos and @Polkadot, allow usage spreading across dedicated chains. App-specific rollup services, like @EclipseFND, offer customized solutions.
