Summary The team starts the episode by defining what Deepin is and the 3 project covered in the episode and how it has the ability to change various industries. The team further assures everyone that one does not have to be a blockchain expert to be involved in these radical projects. Aethir: Decentralised GPU Computing William starts the conversation with Aethir, a GPU compute project that aims to decentralise cloud computing. He elaborates on how Aethir harnesses people’s GPUs to perform tasks such as video games, AI services, and more. Tokens can be earned by offering one’s GPU or by operating the checker nodes which are used to check the quality of the compute nodes. DIMO: Automotive Data Collection Then, the discussion turns to DIMO, which is a data collection project within the automotive category. William further explains that DIMO acquires crucial vehicle information which is subsequently sold to the automobile producers and insurance firms. Tokens can be acquired by installing DIMO devices in users’ cars and sharing information about car status and condition. WeatherXM: Hyper-local Weather Data The last project that is mentioned is WeatherXM, which is intended to offer hyper-local weather updates. WeatherXM devices help to form a network that provides accurate weather data to people.
