Depinsim (ESIM) is a decentralized communication protocol that aims to remove mobile connectivity from the control of central operators, offering a new-generation connectivity infrastructure where users can directly generate value. The project seeks to transform mobile internet from a merely consumed service into a digital asset with economic value.
What is Depinsim (ESIM) Aiming for?
Developed on the BNB Chain, Depinsim is built on an open protocol called the Free Mobile Internet Protocol (FMIP). This structure allows users to become part of the system while consuming mobile data, with their contributions measured and generating economic returns. In the Depinsim ecosystem, establishing a connection is not a cost but a value-creating activity.
Depinsim bridges telecommunications infrastructure with blockchain technology, offering a borderless, censorship-resistant, and user-ownership-based mobile internet model. This approach is particularly notable for extending the DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) vision to the mobile connectivity layer.
Limitations of the Traditional Telecom Model
Today’s mobile communication infrastructure largely relies on centralized structures. Mobile operators control connection access, pricing, and data usage, while users remain merely service consumers in this system.
This model harbors various structural issues:
- High roaming costs and complex tariffs limit global mobility
- Regional licensing structures confine connectivity to national borders
- Users do not have full control over their data usage and identities
- It is not sustainable for digital nomads and global teams
Depinsim addresses these issues with a decentralized protocol approach. The goal is to transform connectivity from a service provided by operators into an open infrastructure with direct user participation.
What is Free Mobile Internet Protocol (FMIP)?
FMIP is the decentralized mobile connectivity protocol forming the foundation of the Depinsim ecosystem. This protocol turns mobile bandwidth into a measurable, verifiable, and digitally evaluable resource.
FMIP operates through three main layers:
- Mining Layer – Passive Participation Rewards Users activate virtual miners through the Depinsim application. As long as the device remains connected to the internet, the system verifies this connection and records the contribution as “Mined Data.” This process does not require energy-intensive mining; it is based solely on real connection continuity.
- Network Layer – Global and Uninterrupted Access The Depinsim eSIM structure allows users to connect worldwide without changing SIM cards. Regional restrictions are eliminated, enabling global access through a single mobile identity.
- Value Layer – From Connectivity to Economic Value The obtained Mined Data can be converted into $ESIM tokens within the system or used directly for eSIM data packages. This establishes a direct bridge between on-chain value and real-world connectivity.
A New Economy Where Connectivity Generates Value
Depinsim’s key difference is treating mobile data not as a consumed resource but as produced value. Users:
- Generate contributions by providing connectivity
- Have their contributions verified by the protocol
- Receive on-chain economic value in return
This structure represents a new economic model defined as “connection-as-value.” In this model, mobile connectivity is not just a communication tool but part of digital production.
DePIN and Depinsim’s Position
Depinsim is one of the projects that brings the DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) approach to the mobile communication field. In the DePIN model, users contribute to the establishment and operation of physical infrastructure and receive digital rewards in return.
Depinsim applies this approach as follows:
- Every eSIM device becomes a node in the network
- Connection continuity strengthens the network
- Contributions directly generate economic returns
This way, the infrastructure grows organically through user participation rather than top-down.
X402 Protocol and Value Transfer
While FMIP coordinates connectivity, the X402 Protocol is the layer that manages economic transactions occurring over this connectivity. Thanks to X402, mobile data usage, task completion, or service access can be priced and paid instantly on-chain.
This structure:
- Enables pay-per-use models
- Supports real-time value transfers
- Eliminates intermediaries
As a result, mobile connectivity becomes not just data flow but an economic transaction.
eSIM and Digital Identity Integration
In Depinsim, each eSIM corresponds to a blockchain-compatible digital identity. This structure allows users to:
- Perform crypto transfers via phone number
- Access Web3 applications without additional wallets
- Manage their identity and assets under a single structure
Thanks to decentralized identity (DID) standards, user data is removed from third-party control, and privacy is protected.
Depinsim (ESIM) Tokenomics
The native token of the Depinsim ecosystem, $ESIM, sits at the center of all economic transactions within the system.
Current token data:
- Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 ESIM
- Maximum Supply: 1,000,000,000 ESIM
- Circulating Supply: 134,500,000 ESIM
The $ESIM token serves as the primary value transfer tool for in-network payments, rewards, staking mechanisms, and service usages.
Depinsim (ESIM) Investors
Depinsim is among the projects aiming to strengthen its infrastructure and expand its ecosystem with early-stage investments. Having raised a total of $8 million, the project has received support from strategic investors at various levels.
Investors:
- DWF Labs – Venture
- Mask Network – Corporation
- Outlier Ventures – Incubator
- Bitrise Capital – Venture
- Becker Ventures – Venture
- MYIE VC – Venture
- Silverline Labs – Venture
This investor profile reflects the project’s positioning goals in both Web3 and infrastructure sectors.
Depinsim (ESIM) Team
The Depinsim team has a growth- and ecosystem-expansion-focused structure. One of the key figures at the center of the project’s community and adoption strategy is Jaymz.
Jaymz – Head of Growth Jaymz serves as the team leader responsible for Depinsim’s user growth, community strategy, and ecosystem partnerships. He conducts strategic efforts to increase the project’s global adoption.
