DePIN Infrastructure Project Fetcher

Comprehensive DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) project analysis and information retrieval system for researching, evaluating, and monitoring decentralized infrastructure projects.

Activation Triggers

Core Capabilities

Project Research

• Fetch real-time project metrics and statistics

• Analyze tokenomics and economic models

• Evaluate network coverage and node distribution

• Compare multiple DePIN projects side-by-side

Network Categories

<domain_terminology>

• Wireless Networks: Helium (IoT/5G), Pollen Mobile (cellular)

• Storage Networks: Filecoin, Arweave, Sia

• Compute Networks: Render Network, Akash, Flux

• Sensor Networks: PlanetWatch (air quality), WeatherXM (weather)

• Energy Networks: React Network, Powerledger

• Mapping/Location: Hivemapper (dashcams), DIMO (vehicle data) </domain_terminology>

Implementation Workflow

Step 1: Parse Query Intent

interface DePINQuery { project_name?: string; location?: string; category?: 'wireless' | 'storage' | 'compute' | 'sensor' | 'energy' | 'mapping'; metric_type?: 'coverage' | 'nodes' | 'tokenomics' | 'roi'; }

Step 2: Data Retrieval

Execute scripts/fetch-depin-data.ts with parsed parameters:

npx tsx .claude/skills/depin-infrastructure-fetcher/scripts/fetch-depin-data.ts
--project "helium"
--location "new-zealand"
--metrics "coverage,nodes"

Step 3: Format Response

Use project-specific templates from references/project-templates/ :

• Network statistics summary

• Node deployment requirements

• ROI calculations

• Coverage maps interpretation

Quality Gates

<validation_rules>

• Data freshness: Max 24 hours old

• Source verification: Only trusted APIs (see references/trusted-sources.md)

• ROI calculations: Include all costs (hardware, electricity, maintenance)

• Coverage data: Verify with multiple sources when available </validation_rules>

Output Format

Project Summary Template

PROJECT: [Name] CATEGORY: [Network Type] LOCATION: [Coverage Area] STATUS: [Active Nodes] | [Network Growth]

DESCRIPTION: [1-2 sentence overview]

KEY METRICS:

• Active Nodes: [count]
• Network Coverage: [area/percentage]
• Token Price: [current]
• Node ROI: [monthly estimate]

DEPLOYMENT:

• Hardware Cost: $[amount]
• Setup Complexity: [Low/Medium/High]
• Maintenance: [requirements]

Error Handling

<error_recovery>

• API timeout (5s): Fall back to cached data with freshness warning

• No results: Suggest alternative projects in same category

• Ambiguous query: Ask clarifying questions (location, use case, budget) </error_recovery>

Performance Optimization

• Cache responses for 24 hours using scripts/cache-manager.ts

• Batch multiple project queries into single API calls

• Pre-fetch popular projects during idle time

Security Considerations

Success Metrics

Track via scripts/analytics.ts :

• Query response time (<2s target)

• Data accuracy (>95% match with official sources)

• User satisfaction (follow-up questions indicate success)
