Name: DePIN & Physical AI — From theory to street-level impact
Start: 2025-09-15T18:30:00+02:00

Location: Bahnhofstrasse 75

Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) are shifting from crypto-native experiments to powering critical real-world industries. From GNSS-based positioning to AI-powered robotics, DePIN is becoming the backbone for global, affordable, and scalable infrastructure.

So… how does DePIN actually work in the physical world? Where does **AI at the edge** fit in? And which networks are truly ready to scale?

Join CryptoMondays Zurich for a high-energy, practical discussion with builders and researchers driving the future of DePIN & Physical AI. **Part of Breaking DePIN: the Physical AI Unconference** ([https://www.breakingdepin.ch](https://www.breakingdepin.ch)) in Zurich, this session is your chance to connect early and help shape Switzerland’s first DePIN community.

**🔥 Panel Discussion Focus Areas:**

🔹 **DePIN 101** – What it is, and why the “infrastructure layer” matters
🔹 **Physical AI** – GNSS, robotics, and edge intelligence powered by decentralized networks
🔹 **Scaling at Low Cost** – Throughput, latency, and why some chains (e.g., Solana) focus on DePIN
**🔹 Opportunities & Risks –** Governance, incentives, and sustainable business models

**🎤 Expert Speakers:**
**🔹 Jonas Hahn, Solana Foundation:** The Rise of DePIN and How Solana Powers Decentralized Infrastructure at Scale
**🔹 Dr. Mark Ballandies, Breaking DePIN**: DePIN – Switzerland’s Digital Gotthard

**Why Attend?**

✅ Understand how **decentralized infra** accelerates real-world AI adoption
