She noted that Bitcoin’s success in creating a massive network and incentivizing substantial investments in mining hardware could serve as a model for DePINs.
Demirors envisions a future where DePINs, such as Render (RNDR), Filecoin (FIL), The Graph (GRT), and Akash Network (AKT), will proliferate, creating significant economic opportunities.
She also believes that while resource networks might become standardized, the tools for enhancing operational and financial efficiency will hold greater long-term value.
