DePIN 可以让拥有汽车再次成为一种时尚

汽车行业正处在十字路口。我们正奔向电动汽车和自动驾驶的未来，但一些有意义的东西似乎正在消失：拥有汽车的乐趣。曾经定义汽车文化的激情和个性正在消退，取而代之的是一个不那么令人兴奋的世界，汽车仅仅是交通工具。

这篇专栏文章是 CoinDesk 新推出的 DePIN Vertical 的一部分，涵盖了去中心化物理基础设施的新兴行业。

但是，如果区块链技术与汽车世界的不太可能的结合能够重新点燃这种火花呢？

这就是去中心化物理基础设施网络 (DePIN) 的作用所在。虽然大部分加密货币都过于专注于投机交易和其他纯数字产品，但 DePIN 网络将区块链与物理世界连接起来。从 Helium 的去中心化无线网络到 Render 的分布式 GPU 平台，创新者正在寻找构建更好基础设施的方法，同时让拥有实物资产更有回报、更有吸引力，坦率地说，更有趣。

那么，这与汽车有什么关系呢？DIMO 是一个 DePIN 网络，旨在利用尖端的车辆集成技术改善汽车拥有体验。它的工作原理是赋予车辆链上身份，并让车主控制汽车及其数据，以解锁全新的服务、体验和经济机会。

对于大多数人来说，汽车是他们一生中除了房子之外最大的一笔消费。每年，汽车要花费他们大约 12,000 美元，还要长途跋涉前往 DMV，甚至可能因为发动机故障灯或爆胎而毁了行程。

我们不仅有机会彻底改变行业，而且可以从根本上改变人们与周围世界的互动方式和从中获取价值的方式

现在是 2024 年。现代技术本应让拥有汽车变得更便宜、更轻松、更有回报。你不仅应该节省更多开支，让所有麻烦自动化，还应该通过将车辆数据货币化来赚钱，专家表示，到 2030 年，这一数字可能达到 8000 亿美元，而且你应该能够访问为您和您的车辆构建的丰富的应用和服务生态系统。迄今为止，汽车制造商在实施智能汽车技术方面所采取的孤立方法阻碍了这一未来的发展。这对安全、隐私和开放性来说是一场灾难。

But DePIN's potential goes beyond just financial incentives. It's about revolutionizing the entire ownership experience. Remember when customizing your car was a point of pride? Your Dad might have spent his weekends tinkering under the hood of his 1987 Firebird. There’s probably a few Polaroids of him posing in front of it hidden inside a shoebox in your basement.

DePIN could bring back that sense of personalization and community, but in a distinctly modern way. Imagine a world where your car has an on-chain digital twin, allowing you to customize its appearance, participate in virtual car shows or even race digital versions of your real-world vehicle. Your car becomes a key to a whole new ecosystem. This gamification of car ownership could extend to the real world, too. Blockchain-based systems could reward safe driving, optimal route-taking or real-world carbon offsets. Suddenly, your daily commute becomes a game, with valuable rewards at stake.

But perhaps one of the most exciting potential use cases for DePIN in the automotive world is the transformation of commerce and registration. In our blockchain-enabled future, receiving the title, financing your car, insuring it, and registering could be done in seconds, whether you’re buying new from a dealer or from a random guy named Bert on Craigslist.

Your car will have its own wallet, able to pay for fuel, tolls or Starbucks. No waiting an hour at the DMV just to be told, “you have the wrong kind of paperwork, come back tomorrow.” No more pulling out quarters or downloading a bad government app just to pay for street parking. It would be impossible to build a system that is open and trusted enough that can coordinate all of these complex transactions, without blockchain and DIMO.

Of course, for DePIN to truly succeed in the automotive space and beyond, it needs to overcome the issue of accessibility. For too long, the crypto world has been a tech club, with high barriers to entry in terms of technical knowledge and financial risk. DePIN projects need to focus on creating user-friendly interfaces that hide the complexity of blockchain technology. The average car owner shouldn't need to understand smart contracts or private keys to benefit from these systems.

This isn't a pipe dream. The groundwork is being laid at DIMO today, where nearly 100,000 cars are connected and the infrastructure that will make scenarios like this a reality is coming together.

For those of us passionate about both technology and the physical world, it's an exciting road ahead. We have the opportunity to not just revolutionize industries, but to fundamentally change how people interact with and derive value from the world around them.

DePIN 应用于车辆的原则可以扩展到几乎任何实物资产。你的家可以通过为去中心化能源网做出贡献来赚取代币。你的智能手机可以因参与分布式计算网络而获得奖励。关键是要创建能够为用户提供直接、切实利益的系统，同时朝着更加去中心化、以用户为中心的未来迈进。这并不是将区块链技术本身作为目的，而是将其作为增强我们与物理世界互动的工具。

所以，下次你开车的时候，想象一下未来你的汽车不仅仅是从 A 点开到 B 点，而是无缝延伸到你的日常生活和你在现实世界和网络上的个性。这就是我们正在构建的未来。谁知道呢？它可能会让拥有汽车再次变得很酷。
