Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) are networks that use blockchain to decentralize and manage physical infrastructures. They mobilize the physical resources of individuals (mainly) for various fields such as energy management, computing power, storage space, collaborative data or communications networks. To better understand their involvement, I invite you to read my recent article on the subject.

In the past, many crypto projects have made airdrops to distribute their tokens. Not always practical because it was usually necessary to perform complex manipulations to obtain them or be constantly on the lookout for any news. With DePIN, accessibility is much easier than in the past. I personally tried 3 projects to present them to you. Two are passive, that is to say that apart from the installation of an extension there is nothing to do. The third one requires a little investment (time).

GRASS

The project has made a lot of noise with its recent airdrop. In total, there will be 8 phases of Airdrop plus a bonus phase. It is not too late to participate in the project yet, as we are currently in the second phase of 8.

Here are the essentials to understand about the Graas project.

Grass is a network of millions of people who are earning rewards for sharing unused internet bandwidth with the Grass network. Since everyone already pays for Internet, why not put the idle Internet to work?

Since Grass is committed to creating products that reward you, Grass holds itself to the highest industry standards and has secured approvals from all major anti-malware applications.

Grass exists to build a fairer internet where you can directly benefit from large corporations using your unused internet bandwidth.

Most of us skip reading Terms and Conditions, allowing companies to quietly access our devices' "unused network resources" for profit. With Grass, you're back in control—download the app, and companies reward you directly for sharing your bandwidth.

How to participate in the GRASS project?

You can directly download the extension for your web browser via my referral link if you wish. New Referrals will receive a 5,000-point bonus upon reaching 100 hours of uptime with this link : https://app.getgrass.io/register/?referralCode=39fjk2nT57t5pRG

Once the installation is complete, do not forget to link an email address and verify it. You can also link a wallet to your Grass account. During the airdrop, the GRASS tokens will be paid directly to this wallet. Airdrops are announced for each phase. Phase 2 ends on December 16. For the next phase and others, we will have to check the drop dates every time. I would try to make an update in the comments.

How to use GRASS?

It’s very simple, as soon as you open your browser, the extension will start after a few seconds and start working. You can click on the extension and then on ‘dashboard’ to access your statistics.

Here are my stats for the last two weeks. As a rule, my browser is open between one and four hours per day. Sometimes I may not open it or more. As to the security of using the extension. Although the project is dedicated to ensuring the security of users, I used an email address and a specific wallet. I recommend you do the same. I also have an anti-virus on my computer.

My opinion on the project is very positive because it already has a large community and an easy to use platform. I have also not encountered any problems since the launch of the extension. Indeed, the volume of bandwidth used is extremely low. I recommend the project to all computer users who would like to participate in a DePIN project easily. When changing days, wait 2 hours before your balance is properly updated.

GRADIENT NETWORK

The Gradient Network project is similar in use to Graas. Both extensions can run simultaneously without difficulty. Tested and approved.

The project is currently in phase 0, the date of the airdrop(s) have not yet been announced. This is an opportunity to get in earlier than GRAAS in the project. You can use my referral link to receive 3000 EXP when creating your account with code 644EVE. The project is well rated by the crypto community because it has solid partner that they have funded.

The dashboard is relatively similar to what we saw at GRASS even if I find it better designed and more readable.

My referral code to receive the bonus is 644EVE. You can download the extension here. I recommend the project because just like Grass it is very easy to use, both extensions can run without difficulties. You can download the extension via this link.

SILENCIO

Silencio is a mobile application whose objective is to make an audio mapping of the entire planet. The aim is to create an interactive data mapping that will allow silencio to give and issue advice, for example to public institutions on noise levels and nuisance in certain localities based on data provided by its users. Namely, you and me. This application could also have advantages for real estate developers and planners who would like to rely on these data to refine their analysis of the real estate market.

Unlike the two projects presented above, Silencio requires investment (time) by the user. The app does not record sounds around you on a daily basis. Only when you use it. You can check in at a public place or on the street. The more you do, the more points you earn. These points will be converted into Token during the airdrop. I don’t know yet when the airdrop will take place. The advantage is that you can actually choose when you use the app and when you don’t. To receive a bonus of 200 points, you can use my referral code: Galaxiecrypt You can use this link for Apple and this link for Android.

I hope you will enjoy this DePIN Airdrop. Please if you have other recomendations, let me know in the comments.
