Why most DePINs have no real demand - and Shaga does.

Most GPU-based DePIN projects are sitting on a ticking time bomb: massive supply, zero demand.

The pitch sounded perfect: "Uber for compute!" But no Fortune 500 company is trusting their data with a stranger's laptop.

1. Why GPU DePINs Fail

Enterprises need 99.99% uptime, security certifications, and breach insurance.

DePIN offers gaming PCs that might go offline for Fortnite.
Even if the hardware works perfectly, the reputational risk is catastrophic.

Imagine explaining to shareholders that your proprietary AI leaked because you saved 50% using Bob's basement server.

So these projects flood the market with token incentives to attract nodes.
But revenue stays at $0. Token price plummets.

In the end, node owners leave and the project dies.

The problem isn't infrastructure. It's product-market fit.

2. Shaga Serves Gamers, Not Enterprises

We target 3 billion gamers who don't care about SOC 2 compliance. They care about playing Cyberpunk on their phone without buying a $3000 rig.

When a node lags 50ms, gamers shrug - they're getting AAA games for pennies. When enterprise AI lags 50ms, someone gets fired.

Our data?

Game frames, button presses, WASD patterns.
Worthless to hackers, perfect for training gaming AI.

No privacy risk, no enterprise drama.

Result: 400k+ gamers waitlisted.

GPU DePINs still begging enterprises to "please try our nodes."

3. Building a New Market

Other DePINs compete for enterprises that won't come.

We serve a market with real demand that centralized infra can’t reach.

Each gaming hour generates:

• Revenue for nodes
• AI training data
• Network improvements
• Real usage metrics

Our "low-stakes" data is exactly what Google needs for Veo3-for-Gaming (generative gaming AI).

Token emissions aren't subsidies. They're R&D investments that make the network smarter, compression better, and gaming cheaper.

The best businesses don't compete for customers. They create new markets.
