When centralized infrastructure fails, entire societies are left in the dark. Recent blackouts across Europe and beyond reveal the urgent need for DePIN, empowering communities to build resilient, community-driven solutions that can withstand crises. Opinion by: Carlos Lei, co-founder and CEO of Uplink Seeing Spain, Portugal, and France go dark recently? Sure, millions lost power. It was a connectivity collapse, showing just how brittle communication lifelines become when the power dies. Don't think for a second this is just a European problem.
