🧐 XPIN: Transforming the Network from Paid Service to Asset Engine
Seeing XPIN @XPINNetwork release Freedata made me suddenly realize: we have always thought of the network as a "service," but it can also be an "entry point to the economic system"!
Simply put: network access itself is a resource that can be financialized, redistributed, and redefined.
This is quite counterintuitive.
We are used to thinking of the network as just the network: I pay, and the provider offers the connection.
But what XPIN is doing is: allowing people to "no longer pay," turning the network into a revenue derivative, and making the traffic itself a part of the Web3 economic cycle.
1️⃣ Freedata: The Ambition to Turn the Global Network into a "Public Good"
The logic behind the Freedata plan is straightforward yet crazy:
If network fees can be offset by token earnings, can the network itself become a global public good? Can Web3 subsidize the infrastructure of Web2 in reverse?
Users don’t pay, and the earnings from the Deposit pay for you?
In this case, the more you use, the faster the XPIN flywheel spins.
Ultimately forming something akin to a "global network public layer"!
2️⃣ Deposit: Not Just Simple "Staking," but the Engine of the Network Economic Cycle
On this basis, I took some time to look at the design of XPIN's Deposit, and the intuitive logic behind it is as follows:
You deposit XPIN → Help it mint network subsidies → Earn returns → Redeem network services in reverse.
The core layer here is:
"Returns = Network Resources" rather than "Returns = More Tokens" model.
I looked at its two-tier structure:
1) Loyal Deposit (4-year lockup, nearly 300% APR)
The principal is locked for four years, and the earnings can be withdrawn at any time, and can be automatically converted into flexible deposits to continue generating returns, achieving automatic compound interest;
2) Flexible Deposit
Withdrawable at any time, earnings may be diluted as the deposit amount increases; however, it excels in flexibility, allowing for withdrawal or sale at any time.
I can't guarantee it will definitely succeed, but this direction is a clear path I rarely see in DePIN: the token model is not just decoration, but the main driving force of network expansion. Those with tokens can try depositing.
3️⃣ Finally:
Everyone can research Freedata and the economic model on their own. Lastly, I want to mention their Ave × XPIN contract competition:
The reason for mentioning it is that this event has a high cost-performance ratio:
There is a $100,000 cash reward and $XPIN + edgeX @edgeX_exchange points stacking;
Currently, the market is not doing well, so everyone can take a look at the tweet below to decide whether to participate!
