AI 中文摘要
去中心化物理基础设施网络（DePIN）是一种变革性范式，在Web 3.0时代重新定义信息通信技术（ICT）基础设施的构建、运营与治理。DePIN将网络设备、存储、算力等物理资源与去中心化数字治理相结合，形成由社区协同构建、共享与治理的自激励生态系统，为未来通信网络提供基础框架，助力去中心化边缘智能、高效资源共享及异构设备间可信协同。本文聚焦这一新兴范式的可行性，考察DePIN前的技术格局，以及现有方法与Web 3.0所需去中心化基础设施间的差距，系统全面地综述DePIN在各垂直领域的背景、核心特征、技术架构与应用。本文从物理基础设施、区块链、交互、信任、激励、应用共6层分析DePIN技术栈，重点关注其跨层反馈回路、实现就绪度与部署限制。为进一步衔接概念分析与实际部署，本文提出涵盖技术、治理、经济维度的DePIN可行性评估框架，还强调了有前景的研究方向，为DePIN的进一步探索与部署提供见解和指导。
英文摘要
The Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) represents a transformative paradigm that redefines the construction, operation, and governance of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure in the Web 3.0 era. DePIN integrates physical resources, such as networking equipment, storage, and computing power, with decentralized digital governance, forming a self-incentivized ecosystem that is collaboratively built, shared, and governed by the community. It provides a foundational framework for future communication networks, facilitating decentralized edge intelligence, efficient resource sharing, and trustworthy coordination among heterogeneous devices. Focusing on the feasibility of this emerging paradigm, this paper examines the technology landscape in the pre-DePIN era and gaps between existing methodologies and the forthcoming decentralized infrastructure for Web 3.0. It provides a systematic and comprehensive survey of the background, core characteristics, technical architecture, and applications of DePIN across various vertical domains. The paper analyzes the DePIN technology stack from six layers: physical infrastructure, blockchain, interaction, trust, incentive, and application, with special attention to their cross-layer feedback loops, implementation readiness, and deployment limitations. To further bridge conceptual analysis and practical deployment, we propose a DePIN feasibility assessment framework covering technical, governance, and economic dimensions. Moreover, we highlight promising research directions, providing insights and guidance for further exploration and deployment of DePIN.
