Smart City" dream used to mean Big Tech surveillance

The "Smart City" dream used to mean Big Tech surveillance and bloated government contracts. In 2026, DePIN has democratized it. 🌆📡

Your neighbor’s balcony isn't just for plants anymore; it’s hosting a hyper-local air quality monitor. The delivery drone flying overhead is updating traffic patterns in real-time.

This isn't top-down monitoring; it’s bottom-up intelligence. We are building the sensory nervous system of our cities and getting paid for the vital data we provide. Citizen-owned infrastructure is the only way to build a truly smart city without building a surveillance state.
