Protocols and projects built in the DePIN ecosystem promise to revolutionize the way both physical and digital infrastructure—such as energy grids, wireless networks, and cloud computing—are built and maintained. By distributing ownership and operation across independent participants, DePIN aims to rival centralized oligopolies with decentralized, blockchain-powered systems. However, these networks face persistent challenges in coordination, incentive alignment, and scalability. Without intelligent automation, node operators may be influenced to act based on short-term profit motives rather than what’s best for the network. Poorly designed token incentives can lead to boom-and-bust cycles, while inefficient resource distribution creates oversupply in some regions and scarcity in others. To overcome these limitations, DePIN needs more than just AI agents—it requires open-source agent frameworks.

Open-source agent frameworks, such as Rig and Daydreams, provide the organized environments necessary for deploying intelligence at scale. Unlike individual agents that perform single tasks, frameworks offer the tooling, architecture, and decision-making t
