Data Economics

The Depinsim ecosystem operates on a connection-as-value model, transforming global mobile connectivity into a decentralized, self-sustaining economic system.

Through the Free Mobile Internet Protocol (FMIP) and the X402 Transaction Layer, every verified network connection, completed task, or user interaction generates measurable on-chain value — represented as Mined Data, which can be converted into $ESIM tokens, redeemed for eSIM data services, or utilized within the broader ecosystem.

Core Value Dynamics

Connectivity Demand as the Economic Engine

Depinsim’s economy is driven by real-world demand for mobile connectivity.

Each active connection validated under FMIP contributes authenticated usage data to the protocol, forming the foundation of network growth and value creation.

Mined Data as a Protocol-Native Resource

Mined Data represents the quantified output of verified user participation.

It is earned through:

  • Maintaining active, validated connections

  • Completing protocol-defined tasks

  • Contributing to ecosystem expansion and adoption

Mined Data functions as the pre-value layer of the economy — measuring contribution before conversion into transferable value.

Supply Governance & Long-Term Balance

Depinsim employs an adaptive issuance and circulation model designed to support sustainable growth.

While Mined Data can be continuously generated through participation, $ESIM tokens operate under controlled circulation mechanisms, including protocol-defined consumption, staking locks, and usage-based sinks.

This layered structure maintains liquidity for active users while supporting long-term economic balance across the ecosystem.


Economic Functions

Pay-Per-Use Settlement (via X402)

All connectivity usage, data transactions, and API interactions are processed in real time and settled transparently on-chain through the X402 Protocol, enabling precise, usage-based value exchange.

Convert & Redeem

Users can:

  • Convert Mined Data into $ESIM tokens, or

  • Redeem Mined Data directly for global eSIM data services

This mechanism bridges protocol-level participation with real-world connectivity utility.

Task-to-Earn Integration

Community initiatives and partner programs contribute value back into the ecosystem.

Verified participants earn Mined Data or $ESIM rewards, which can circulate through service redemption, ecosystem participation, or long-term engagement mechanisms.

$ESIM Staking & Network Alignment

Users may stake $ESIM tokens to access additional protocol incentives designed to encourage long-term participation and economic alignment.

Staking mechanisms support network stability by reinforcing commitment from contributors who actively support the ecosystem’s growth and sustainability.

Value Mechanics

Connectivity-Driven Mining: Every verifiable connection under FMIP contributes to network value without energy-intensive computation, reinforcing an efficient and sustainable participation model.

Dynamic Reward Adjustment: Rewards scale based on measurable factors such as activity levels, connection stability, and participation consistency — enabling adaptive growth without uncontrolled issuance.

On-Chain Transparency: All rewards, conversions, and redemptions are recorded on-chain, ensuring transparency, auditability, and accountability across the ecosystem.

Outcomes & Sustainability

Depinsim’s economic framework produces a self-balancing value cycle:

Driver
Outcome

User Activity

Generates Mined Data

Mined Data

Converts into $ESIM or connectivity usage

$ESIM Circulation

Supports participation, staking, and service redemption

Burn & Deflation

Preserves long-term token stability

Through this cycle, every user action — from staying connected to completing a task — contributes directly to network expansion, fair value distribution, and sustainable growth.


A Network Where Data Becomes Currency

Depinsim redefines data economics.

Rather than extracting and monetizing user activity through centralized telecom systems, participation itself becomes a source of ownership and utility.

By aligning incentives across users, developers, and enterprises, Depinsim transforms connectivity into a globally accessible economic resource — where data is not merely consumed, but earned, exchanged, and valued.
