Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePin) are transforming the tech by enabling decentralized projects in real-world infrastructure.
Here’s the latest in the DePin sector: Chirp celebrated two full years of operation and announced its game launch next week, MapMetrics released quality-of-life improvements for its navigation app, and Privasea is conducting a node sale with CVPad.
Chirp Celebrates Two Years
Chirp, the DePin network and IoT ecosystem, celebrated its second birthday on October 18. The firm’s announcement described 2022 and 2023 as years of fundamental construction: laying foundations, building partnerships, and beginning to expand its fledgling network. 2024, however, has been a year of launches, like the airdrop anticipating their CHIRP token’s launch:
“As we celebrate Chirp’s anniversary, we look to the medium and long-term, we are returning to our core vision: building the most innovative IoT solutions within an inclusive decentralized ecosystem. Our goal is to continue strengthening the Chirp network, ensuring that the CHIRP token is deeply integrated with our IoT solutions,” the announcement stated.
The announcement went on to ask, “what’s a birthday without presents?”. The present in question is Chirp’s long-awaited P2E DePin mobile game, which has an impending launch date. Specifically, this launch will take place next week, and users will immediately be able to earn CHIRP tokens. The firm also included an in-game screenshot to hint at its gameplay.

MapMetrics’ Key Improvements
MapMetrics, a “drive-to-earn” navigation app and GameFi token earner, has greatly enhanced several of its services. In an update for both Android and iOS users, MapMetrics rolled out several quality-of-life features and bug fixes for its navigation functions. These include filtering searches by city, new GPS functionality, and visibility for nighttime driving conditions.

In other words, MapMetrics’ updates focused on the app’s navigation features, not its token-earning platform. The firm wishes to ensure that MapMetrics remains a “top-tier navigation tool”, which will help attract and retain users of the GameFi aspects. Additionally, it will continue prioritizing “a stable and refined experience” in future updates.
Privasea’s Node Sale
Privasea, an AI and DePin network, also announced another node sale through project launcher CVPad. This is one of several node sales from Privasea this year, and its August sale sold out in 48 hours. This sale will also feature an airdrop component, such that only these nodes will be eligible for an upcoming token airdrop.
Privasea works to combat fraud and ensure privacy in AI computations. With an impressive list of backers and $10 million in investor funding, the company’s ImHuman app employs its “Proof of Human” tech to verify users’ identities. Whitelisting for this node sale began on October 15, and will continue until October 28.
