Comparison of DePIN platforms: Bless vs. competitors and traditional clouds
Introduction:
DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) is a new trend that combines physical resources (computing, storage, energy) into decentralized networks. Among the growing competition, Bless stands out as a game-changing platform in the compute-to-earn model. How does it compare to other solutions and traditional Web2?
The main part:
Traditional cloud services such as AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure have a centralized structure: users rent capacity but do not own it, and cannot earn money by providing their resources. @theblessnetwork , on the other hand, allows every owner of a device with a CPU or GPU to join the capacity marketplace and receive token rewards for performing computations
Bless' competitors in the DePIN segment are Akash, Cudos, and Flux. Akash is more focused on hosting containers, Cudos on hybrid-cloud, and Flux on running Web3 applications. Bless focuses on compute-to-AI and creating an ecosystem with a transparent compensation model. Thanks to the vBless system, which represents a performance derivative, users can participate in DeFi mechanics without withdrawing an asset from circulation
@theblessnetwork also has a low barrier to entry: no complex infrastructure is required, everything works through a decentralized client, which makes the platform closer to the mass user than technically complex counterparts
Conclusion:
Bless forms a new niche in DePIN - decentralized computing for AI with access for everyone. Unlike Web2 clouds and competitors, Bless combines simplicity, flexible economics, and real utility. In the world of Web3 infrastructure, this can be crucial
