Mining Machine
Turning Connectivity into Network Contribution
Depinsim introduces a protocol-native mining model that transforms each eSIM-enabled device into a connectivity participation node, enabling users to contribute to the decentralized network and earn rewards through verified activity.
Rather than relying on computation-heavy mining or blockchain consensus participation, Depinsim’s mining model is built on Proof-of-Connection (PoC²) — where real-world connectivity, uptime, and network stability generate measurable value.
In this context, “mining” represents the process of converting verified mobile connectivity into economic participation, not traditional cryptographic computation.
How It Works
Each Depinsim eSIM can activate a virtual Miner within the app, allowing the device to participate in the network through verified connection activity.
The system evaluates participation based on:
Active connection time
Network stability and signal integrity
Contribution to global coverage and availability
These metrics are validated through PoC² and recorded on-chain, producing Mined Data as proof of contribution.
Users do not validate blockchain transactions, run consensus nodes, or perform energy-intensive computation.
From Connectivity to Value
Verified participation generates Mined Data, which represents the quantified output of a user’s network contribution.
Mined Data can then be:
Converted into $ESIM tokens
Redeemed for global eSIM data services
Used within protocol-defined incentive mechanisms
This model allows users to earn value by simply staying connected and supporting the network — without specialized hardware, staking infrastructure, or technical expertise.
Key Features of Connectivity Mining
Accessible by Design Unlike traditional mining or validator participation, Depinsim’s mining model requires no dedicated hardware, high energy consumption, or technical configuration. Any supported eSIM-enabled device can participate.
Energy-Efficient Connectivity mining leverages existing device activity and consumes no additional computational power beyond normal mobile operation, making it environmentally sustainable.
Seamless Participation Mining operates passively in the background through the Depinsim App, without interfering with everyday device usage.
Protocol-Level Verification All participation is verified through PoC² and settled through protocol rules, ensuring fairness, transparency, and resistance to manipulation.
Benefits for Users
Earn Through Participation
Users earn rewards by contributing verified connectivity — turning everyday mobile usage into protocol-level participation.
No Hardware or Technical Burden
There is no need to invest in mining equipment, manage validator nodes, or handle complex blockchain infrastructure.
Strengthening the Network
Each participating device improves coverage, availability, and reliability of the global Depinsim network, benefiting all users.
A New Definition of Mining
Depinsim redefines mining for the mobile-first, decentralized internet.
Instead of burning energy to solve cryptographic puzzles or locking capital to validate blocks, users mine connection, availability, and real-world network utility.
This model ensures that rewards are aligned with genuine contribution — creating a sustainable, inclusive, and scalable foundation for decentralized connectivity.
Mining, in Depinsim, means participating in the network — not competing for computation.
