By Denver, United States, 1st March 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Fluence, a pioneering platform providing cloudless computing, today announced the launch of the “DePIN Pledge”, a bold step calling on Web3 projects and Crypto companies to publicly commit to using Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) solutions. The DePIN Pledge launches with the collaboration of leading companies like 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 more.

As the Web3 and Crypto ecosystems continue to evolve, decentralization has often remained an ideal rather than a reality, and a persistent challenge is the ongoing dependence on centralized infrastructure, such as cloud hyperscalers, which hinder the true potential of decentralization. With the DePIN ecosystem maturing, it’s time for Web3 and Crypto companies to move beyond conversing about decentralization and fully implementing it within their infrastructure.
Tom Trowbridge, Co-Founder & CEO of Fluence, expressed his excitement about the launch of the DePIN Pledge, stating, “We are at the very beginning of DePIN adoption and over the coming years we expect to see a wide range of DePIN products and services used by all kinds of projects and companies. We are happy to help advance this important story by highlighting all of the businesses that are improving their businesses by using DePIN.”
As part of Infura’s mission to advance decentralized infrastructure, DIN is committed to bringing high-performance Web3 capabilities, including RPC, to the industry through permissionless and decentralized mechanisms.
Clemens Wan, Global Solutions Architect at Consensys, said, “DIN’s vision is to bring the most highly performant Web3 infrastructure capabilities, including RPC, to the industry via permissionless and decentralized mechanisms. We support the DePIN manifesto because the promise of Web3 cannot be fully realized until the core infrastructure services the industry relies on mirror the values we all stand for. With DIN, Infura is ensuring that the essential building blocks of Web3 reflect the decentralization, transparency, and resilience the industry demands.”
Jing Sun, Co-founder of IoTEX, shared his enthusiasm, “IoTeX’s mission is to enable true data ownership and decentralization. We support the DePIN Pledge because it highlights how decentralized infrastructure enhances security, transparency, and individual empowerment. Together, we are shaping the future of digital and physical trust.”
What is the DePIN Pledge?
The “DePIN Pledge” is a rallying call for projects, communities, and individuals to embrace decentralized infrastructure and build transparent, resilient ecosystems. In an age where AI and blockchain are transforming industries, decentralization is no longer a choice but a necessity. AI’s ever-growing demand for compute power and data only strengthens the grip of centralized control, threatening security, privacy, and equitable access. The DePIN Pledge envisions a future where these critical systems are independent, free from centralized authority, and designed to empower individuals and communities.
Those who commit to this vision will receive a manifesto and a DePIN Pledge NFT as part of their commitment to the cause. This NFT will be auditable on the Ethereum blockchain and symbolizes their dedication to decentralization, which they can display across platforms and channels. The directory of the companies taking the DePIN Pledge will be featured on the DePIN Pledge website, providing a space where users can browse, verify, and support companies working toward or already achieving complete DePIN end-to-end infrastructure.
This dedicated webpage will serve as a marketplace for the verified DePIN Pledge companies, allowing individuals and organizations to see which companies are fully committed to decentralizing their infrastructure.This is more than a pledge—it is a movement towards a decentralized future where transparency, resilience, and fairness are at the forefront.
Onset of a Bold and Collective Movement
The future of DePIN sees communities gaining ownership and control over the infrastructure that shapes their lives. Fluence is leading the charge in driving widespread adoption of DePIN on all fronts. With the “DePIN Pledge”, Fluence is working towards reinforcing the values of access, freedom, resilience, and fairness to all with a commitment to DePIN adoption.
