Building a Decentralized Connectivity Layer for DePIN | Jason Brink, Datagram (#72)

Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) promise a new internet. In this episode, Jason Brink, CEO and co-founder of Datagram, explains why most DePIN projects fail and what it actually takes to build one that works.Datagram is not another “node-for-tokens” network. It’s a production-grade decentralized infrastructure already serving hundreds of real B2B customers, handling voice, video, connectivity, and soon AI inference — at a fraction of the cost of centralized providers.What we cover in this episode:- How Datagram operates as a decentralized alternative to AWS for connectivity, video, and infrastructure- Why transparency in uptime, usage, and token distribution is critical for long-term sustainability- Datagram’s 100% buy-and-burn token model and how revenue directly supports node operators- Real traction: 400+ B2B customers, government and academic use cases, and live production traffic- The future roadmap: VPNs, decentralized AI inference, hosting, and full decentralized cloud services💡 This episode is a deep dive into real decentralization, real revenue, and real infrastructure. 🎙️ Don’t miss this deep dive into one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in the DePIN ecosystem
