dTelecom Launches DePIN Infrastructure for Real-Time AI on Solana

The **Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN)** market is projected to reach **$3.5 trillion by 2028** - exceeding the entire global telecom industry's size. **Key Infrastructure Already Rebuilt:** - Storage solutions - Compute networks - Wireless infrastructure **The Missing Piece: Real-Time Communication** dTel_org aims to fill this gap with decentralized, verifiable, sub-second real-time communication (RTC). This targets the **$200 billion coordination layer** that powers internet infrastructure. **Economic Model Advantage:** When infrastructure is run by participants, operational costs transform into yield for node operators. This approach can deliver **up to 95% cost savings** compared to centralized APIs like AWS. **Revenue Distribution:** - 75% of traffic revenue goes to node operators - Increased usage drives increased capacity - Higher capacity reduces cost per gigabyte This model shifts communication infrastructure from a billable service to a **co-owned economy** where capacity pays users rather than users paying for capacity.

**Frogy LIVE** has integrated dTelecom's decentralized real-time communication (RTC) layer to power all premium video content on their platform. **Key Features:** - Scaled across continents using DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure) rails - Instant settlement in seconds - Real-time infrastructure enables real-time earnings for creators **Previous Success:** Frogy LIVE previously saved **$4,497** (85% cost reduction) by using dTelecom's infrastructure instead of traditional cloud solutions. Over two months, they processed 1.34M minutes of traffic for just $800 versus $5,297 with conventional pricing. **Impact for Creators:** The decentralized infrastructure provides creators with the tools to stream, earn, and scale their content instantly without the high costs and limitations of centralized platforms. This integration demonstrates how **DePIN technology** is making premium video streaming more accessible and profitable for content creators.

**83% of enterprise communications** pass through undisclosed intermediaries, violating regional data laws according to NYT's April report. The EU's DSA and UK's Online Safety Act now make companies **liable for unknown routing paths** - if your call crosses undisclosed routes, you're responsible. **dTel's solution:** - Every node staked & registered on-chain - Cryptographic proofs for each relay - Real-time auditable routes from user to ledger This shifts from *privacy by policy* to **transparency by design**. For enterprises: compliance you can prove For builders: trust you can verify Audit trails become protocols, not PDFs.

**AI infrastructure is fundamentally shifting** from centralized data centers to distributed edge computing networks. - Cisco and other $50B+ infrastructure companies are moving compute closer to users - The next decade will focus on **millions of micro-AI nodes** rather than larger cloud systems - Each node must prove its integrity in real-time through verifiable processes **dTel_org has built a solution** - a verifiable mesh network where: - Every interaction (frame, packet, inference) is cryptographically signed - All processes are timestamped and trustless by design - Real-time AI operations can maintain data integrity This shift addresses critical issues with centralized systems: - **Unacceptable latency** for real-time applications - Data sovereignty concerns - Need for local processing of sensitive information The infrastructure enables secure, decentralized computation on locally-generated data while maintaining privacy and performance standards required for physical AI applications like robots, drones, and wearables.
