Decentralization Technologies

The convergence of TradFi and DeFi via tokenization is accelerating. The biggest hurdle is performance, with solutions emerging from Solana and high-speed Layer 2s. A key innovation is DoubleZero, which uses a private, HFT-inspired fiber network in a DePIN model to provide low-latency connectivity. The startup recently secured a significant SEC No Action Letter for its 2Z token, setting a precedent for the infrastructure powering Wall Street's next era.

AI requires massive amounts of high-quality data to be scalable and trusted. Our new blog introduces Data Hydration , a vital set of processes—Validation, Enrichment, and Governance —that transforms raw, incomplete data into the accurate, organized, and compliant fuel AI models need to thrive. Learn how this holistic approach minimizes cost, prevents hallucinations, and delivers high-integrity AI at scale. Join the Data Hydration LinkedIn Group to discuss the future of Truste

In 2025, a key focus of the DecentraTech Collective is DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks), aiming to expedite deployment and lower costs for AI infrastructure. Our Discovering DePIN series kicked off with “DePIN 101” followed by "How Solana is Powering DePIN," featuring Amira Valliani, Head of DePIN at the Solana Foundation. She discussed her role in aiding developers within the Solana ecosystem and shared her insights on promising projects and the future
