Last Thursday, ThreeFold co-founder Florian Fournier joined SURGE TANK by [Surgence Labs](https://www.surgence.io/), as they explored the topic of DePIN. He was joined by Rykz and Vinh from Surgence along with Léonie, co-founder of [Kaisar Network](https://kaisar.io/), and KaizerGaming88, head of biz dev at [Aethir](https://aethir.com/). (Full broadcast link at the bottom.)

<br/>

Florian opened with a clear vision for DePIN’s potential:

> “DePIN has the chance to finally bring what was the initial promise of blockchain. It was to … bank the unbanked and connect the unconnected. Not only to accelerate those who are already connected that are maybe just looking for faster ways to get into … the AI arm race.”
