⏱️ Sean’s Take on UpRock starts at [35:02]:
What Infrastructure Makes the Most Sense For DePIN?

Highlights:

✅ UpRock’s Utility: Sean explains how UpRock enables distributed data gathering from global devices, avoiding commercial IP blocks—using Amazon as an example.
“..you can’t start a server on EC2 and then go crawl Amazon’s Marketplace, it will hit you with the banhammer so fast right?"

✅Global Competitive Insights: UpRock empowers data collection across millions of mobile devices worldwide, offering unparalleled reach—from England to California, Sri Lanka, and beyond.
“..imagine UpRock can dispatch that, crawl it, bring the data back, and put it all together for you.."

✅Adaptability: Whether it's competitive analysis, AI data collection, or other decentralized applications, UpRock turns everyday user devices into powerful, secure tools for data-driven insights. 🌍📱
“And it’s not just about crawling right, it could do anything, it could be collecting data for AI for instance, right?”

A massive thanks to Sean and Jack for showcasing UpRock's potential in DePIN! 💪
