ChainCatcher on-site report****,**** io.net Asia-Pacific Regional Head Asa, Multiple Network APEC Director Frank, Olares Partner Cryptobird, Network3 Marketing Head Eliza, and Open Data Labs CEO and Vana Co-founder Anna Kazlauskas jointly attended "DeInsight 2024" and engaged in an in-depth discussion on the development challenges, incentive models, and future trends of decentralized AI & Depin in a roundtable titled "New Forces in Decentralized AI & Depin."Asa stated that the biggest challenge faced by io.net in its early days was balancing decentralization with reliability. When its network allows anyone, any hardware, and any account to enter, ensuring there are no fake accounts and maintaining network performance is no easy task.Anna Kazlauskas mentioned the challenge of oversupply on the supply side. When a value network built on a large amount of computing power, data, and other resources cannot ensure alignment with the demand side, the actual assets behind it may hold no value.Regarding the industry issue of oversupply on the supply side, Frank mentioned that Multiple Network suggests distinguishing whether devices in decentralized AI projects are in standby or working status and using targeted token incentives to reduce unnecessary consumption on the supply side and lower token output.The guests generally believe that the decentralized AI & Depin industry is in its early stages and has not yet found widely accepted and recognized application scenarios. Eliza shared a marketing perspective, noting that decentralized AI & Depin often face competitors in the traditional IoT and consumer markets. Providing users with more practical scenarios that allow them to use and benefit directly is a key issue for the next stage.Additionally, the guests commonly mentioned the challenges faced by decentralized AI & Depin projects in protecting user privacy data.Remote participation👉Video live link: https://www.youtube.com/live/tTVcUPumPysImage live link: https://www.pailixiang.com/album_ia7637038926.html(Source link)
