DePIN Stack for Real-Time Media Launches on Solana
The decentralized communication network dTelecom announced the launch of a full DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) stack on the Solana blockchain. The new infrastructure is designed to support real-time voice, video, and AI applications. This development marks a new application of blockchain technology in the telecommunications space.
- The broader Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) market, which dTelecom is a part of, is projected to reach a valuation of $3.5 trillion by 2028. Solana has become a preferred blockchain for these projects, with its DePIN ecosystem already boasting a market capitalization of over $4 billion. - dTelecom was co-founded in 2022 by CEO Petr Malyukov and CTO Vadim Filimonov. The Dubai-based company has received grants from the Solana Foundation, Google, and ElevenLabs to support its development. - The choice of Solana as the underlying blockchain is strategic for its high-speed, low-cost infrastructure, which is essential for next-generation communication services. dTelecom has further deepened its integration with the ecosystem by becoming an official Solana Validator. - The project's tokenomics reward community members with the native $DTEL token for contributing bandwidth and computing power by running nodes for the network. A Token Generation Event is anticipated in the first quarter of 2026. - dTelecom's infrastructure integrates AI for functions like dynamic traffic routing, real-time translation, noise suppression, and content moderation. This is designed to enhance the user experience and provide developers with advanced tools. - To accelerate adoption, dTelecom has launched a startup grants program. The initiative provides selected teams with six months of free, production-grade infrastructure, including unlimited voice and video usage and direct engineering support. - The network has already processed over 35 million minutes of real-time communication for more than 50,000 users.
