IoTeX’s W3bstream Integrates Conflux: Elevating DePIN Adoption

IoTeX is on a mission to seamlessly connect the tangible world with Web3, empowering innovators to craft impactful decentralized applications that touch everyday life. At the heart of this mission is the drive to accelerate the DePIN sector—Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks—the fastest growing sector in crypto today.

DePIN, short for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks, represents the convergence point of the physical and crypto realms. It utilizes token incentives to establish and sustain a community-driven infrastructure network. This encompassing "infrastructure" spans a wide spectrum, ranging from WiFi hotspots in wireless networks to solar-powered home batteries in energy networks.

The launch of W3bstream, IoTeX's verifiable off-chain compute infrastructure, positioned IoTeX as a DePIN leader. It unlocked new design possibilities by harnessing real-world data. But to truly realize this vision, broad interoperability is key—across chains, layers, and ecosystems.

Welcome, Conflux: A New Chapter in DePIN

IoTeX proudly announces the integration of Conflux with W3bstream. This integration opens doors for DePIN founders building on Conflux, enabling them to leverage W3bstream's functionality as a middleware layer for the DePIN space.

As the only regulatory-compliant public blockchain in China, Conflux provides a unique advantage for DePIN projects building and expanding into Asia. Their recent partnership with China Telecom to create blockchain SIM cards shows their alignment with the DePIN vision – to reimagine r3al world infrastructure.

Now, thanks to W3bstream's integration, building DePIN projects on Conflux is now easier than ever. Conflux developers can seamlessly connect their dApps to real-world data, creating a world of possibilities—from fitness applications to green energy and wireless 5G.

Moreover, this integration allows DePIN projects on Conflux to tap into the power of DePINscan. This map explorer-as-a-service offers real-time, deep, and transparent insights for projects across the entire DePIN landscape.

World Mobile, an existing DePIN project on Conflux dedicated to bringing mobile connectivity to underdeveloped communities, can use DePINscan and shine their impressive light on the sector.

DePINscan integration comes with a sweet bonus for Conflux DePIN builders—an out-of-the-box custom dashboard tool that scales with their dApp. It delivers invaluable data-driven insights to the team, investors, and community. Best part? It's free and takes just one hour to set up.

The What and Why of "Conflux Integration"

W3bstream is an off-chain compute infra built to offload intensive or ongoing computations, using innovative zero-knowledge proofs and a general-purpose zkVM to deliver verifiable results. The integration of Conflux comes after Polygon, the IoTeX Chain, Arbitrum, Solana, Optimism, and more.

With the integration of Conflux, W3bstream's extensive tools now directly connect to Conflux’s rapidly expanding ecosystem of applications and developers. W3bstream Studio, a user-friendly interface for managing real-world applications and their data. It's a one-stop hub with an integrated development environment (IDE), project management tools, metrics dashboards, event handling, and more. Developers can seamlessly log into W3bstream Studio to begin crafting real-world dApps, transmitting on-chain proofs to Conflux.

IoTeX's Take on Interoperability: DePIN First

IoTeX's vision for DePIN involves flexible interoperability across chains, layers, and tooling. The era of monolithic building is out, replaced by modular building for developers across ecosystems. By integrating with various L1s and L2s, IoTeX aims to provide tools and infrastructure for builders across the Web3 space.

DePINscan embodies IoTeX's vision for interoperability and composability within DePIN. It literally lights up potential collaboration opportunities within the DePIN ecosystem, fostering composability through shared data layers.

What Lies Ahead?

The integration of Conflux into the IoTeX W3bstream ecosystem is just the beginning. It marks the commencement of a synergistic journey between these two robust ecosystems. The goal? Broad interoperability connecting the tangible world to Web3 through powerful DePIN applications. Mass adoption becomes a reality by offering game-changing tools and resources for builders to achieve the previously deemed impossible.

As we onboard more L1 and L2 ecosystems, our research and development team is continuously pushing the boundaries to build and hone our toolkit for DePIN builders. We are dedicated to providing GTM strategies, middleware resources, and quicker development times so that any team or builder can create successful real-world applications. From tutorials to workshops to our developer portal, we are harnessing the power of community in the DePIN sector to lead it forward.
