# DePIN

> Decentralized physical infrastructure: wireless, compute, storage, mapping and energy networks, their usage, burns and rewards.

Markdown copy of https://voltfincrypto.com/topics/depin

Decentralized physical infrastructure networks pay operators in tokens for wireless coverage, compute, storage, mapping or energy, and many burn tokens when customers pay for usage. The apps here compare burns for usage with emissions to operators, read from each network's own contracts and programs.

That comparison shows whether a network is used or only rewarded, which is the first question most people ask about any of them.
