Today Jason is joined by Mahesh Ramakrishnan, Seed Investor at Escape Velocity (EV3). Today Mahesh joins us to discuss all things DePIN. The conversation begins with an overview on the DePIN category and why EV3 has chosen to focus it's attention here. The two then go on to review how the labour market may change as a result of DePIN developments, DePIN's unit economics, bandwidth vs compute providers, as well as EV3's North Star, and 2024's leading DePIN projects. This is not one to miss as we breakdown the past, present, and future of decentralized physical infrastructure—enjoy!
