DePIN 2023 : The 1st International Workshop on Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks

Decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) is an emerging research area in Web3 and loT domains, which leverage blockchain, loT and tokenomics to incentivize communities to build physical infrastructure networks and machine economy from the ground up. DePINs are expected to disrupt existing loT business models and enable developers to build machine-driven and decentralized loT applications. A lot of research challenges need to be addressed to fully realize the ultimate vision of DePIN - giving back control of devices and data to users.

Topics of Interest
The workshop welcomes contributions describing design challenges, methodologies, implementations, use cases, and tokenomics of building DePIN. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
· System architectures and implementations of DePIN
· Layer 2 solutions and cross-chain protocols for DePIN
· Off-chain computing and blockchain oracles for DePIN
· Experimental evaluations and performance analysis of DePIN
· Testbeds and simulators for DePIN
· Hardware and firmware design for DePIN
· Device identity and management for DePIN
· Security and privacy of DePIN
· Disruptive and sustainable business models for DePIN
· Tokenomics of DePIN
· Governance protocols for DePIN
· Use cases of DePIN in industrial and consumer environments
