Tintinland, Depin, Partisia Blockchain, Web3, Blockchain. of centralization,” Outprog says. Outprog further introduces the “storage consensus paradigm” proposed in 2022, which allows computations to be performed on any server in a distributed network while ensuring data immutability and traceability. For instance, through high-performance storage chains

7,575
Tintinland, Depin, Partisia Blockchain, Web3, Blockchain. the contradiction between individual privacy and data security. For example, for applications like geolocation services, users want to ensure their privacy is protected while also ensuring the fairness of the system. MPC technology enables data computation without exposing personal sensitive

7,576
Tintinland, Depin, Partisia Blockchain, Web3, Blockchain. information. This means that in the DePIN ecosystem, data can be computed and analyzed without revealing users’ personal data, ensuring fair treatment for each user. For DePIN projects, data and functionality are crucial. MPC technology not only allows access to public data but also enables

7,577
Tintinland, Depin, Partisia Blockchain, Web3, Blockchain. computation of users’ private data. This allows DePIN projects to ensure the privacy of user data while also allowing data monetization, providing new momentum and possibilities for the development of the entire ecosystem. The Role of Decentralized Storage Regarding decentralized storage, Outprog

7,578
Tintinland, Depin, Partisia Blockchain, Web3, Blockchain. states that it is closely related to some of the points Bruce mentioned earlier. First, decentralized storage provides data persistence and immutability, laying the foundation for building trust and transparency. Second, privacy protection is a key consideration of decentralized storage. Through
medium
7,579
Tintinland, Depin, Partisia Blockchain, Web3, Blockchain. privacy computing technologies like homomorphic encryption, sensitive user data can be protected while allowing necessary computation and verification on decentralized networks. Finally, Outprog further explains, “Through decentralized storage, all important transaction data, including geolocation

Tintinland, Depin, Partisia Blockchain, Web3, Blockchain. information, will be securely recorded on chain. This not only ensures data authenticity and integrity but also supports the reliable operation of decentralized applications (DApps) such as ride-hailing services or logistics tracking.” Advantages of Low-Cost Development Framework The low-cost,

7,584
Tintinland, Depin, Partisia Blockchain, Web3, Blockchain. points out that the public is not obligated to understand DePIN projects; they participate because they see value. While education is one of UWEB’s main businesses, it is more important to attract public participation through actual value. Recently, UWEB collaborated with JDI at the global DePIN
