Happy Holidays, Combinderos 🎄✨

What a year it’s been! 2025 was full of excitement: together we launched multiple campaigns, lived through some truly powerful moments, and achieved milestones we’re genuinely proud of.

Thanks to your support, we’ve grown from 0 across Telegram and Twitter, expanded our user base, and connected thousands devices to the Combinder network. For us, this is a huge achievement, and a direct result of the strength of our community.

We’re still a small startup, focused on growth and scaling, and you (our community) are our greatest strength. We’re doing everything we can to make your journey with Combinder both rewarding and meaningful.

A lot is happening behind the scenes right now. Some things we can’t fully share yet, as they relate to fundraising and internal processes, and we know this may have felt like a bit of silence from our side. For that, we truly appreciate your patience and promise to share more details going forward.

One thing for sure, 2026 will bring more of what you like:
A) More features: Giving anyone the option to contribute value to Combinder (even without buying a device) and adding the first link to energy markets to unlock this value in the real world.

B) More devices: We’ll add at least 5 popular brands

C) More quests: First time ever we’ll go beyond just monitoring devices

D) More insights: In 2025 you fed your energy data into Combinder and the network learnt. 2026 its time to give back insights to device owners.

This is just a few of the goals we’re setting for the year ahead. More to come, and we can’t wait to build it together with you.

Thank you for being with us. Loads of health and success to you and your loved ones - To an even bigger year ahead 🥂

Announcing: DePIN Summit Africa in Kenya and Tanzania in July 2025

Hosting @DePINSummit has been one of my favorite highlights of building @EV3Ventures over the past few years. DePIN, or Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks, use crypto to scale critical infrastructure like wireless, electricity, or compute in a peer-to-peer manner. By cutting out the middle-man, DePINs provide cheaper and more reliable services than the current incumbents. In other words, DePIN is all about putting power back into the hands of users.

2023's Summit showed that DePIN is a MOVEMENT: for the very first time, 100+ DePIN founders and investors sat in the same room, in Menlo Park, all with a shared vision for the future of what decentralized infrastructure networks will become. 2024's Summit showed that DePIN is INEVITABLE: with more than 350 founders, investors, and operators coming together on a summer Saturday, in NYC, to discuss humanity’s urgent need for digital infrastructure networks that can scale to serve exponentially-growing demand decades in the future.

In July 2025, DePIN Summit Africa will show that DePIN is GLOBAL by bringing the community together in Mombasa, Kenya and Zanzibar, Tanzania. We are excited to be collaborating with our on-the-ground partners @shareinternet and @threefold_io to make the event truly special, bringing together DePIN entrepreneurs and investors from abroad, alongside local industry and government leaders who are eager to understand how DePIN can serve their communities.

DePIN has been mostly a US-based phenomenon to date, by almost any metric you can pick: number of projects, total capital raised, etc. A few protocols are bucking the trend and showing how DePIN can serve users in emerging markets: for example, local ISPs in Ghana are using @dawninternet to provide internet services, one of the largest telcos in Mexico is offloading its customers traffic onto @helium, and grid-scale solar farms in India are mining on @GlowFND. But by and large, DePIN activity is focused on developed markets, and specifically the US.... DePIN in the US is a huge opportunity, but it’s not the only one!

Emerging markets are a different ballgame: the end-user demand for more reliable, performant, scalable digital infrastructure in growing economies is enormous across virtually every sector of DePIN: wireless, energy, compute, sensors, logistics, identity, etc. In East Africa, consumers spend 10-20% of their monthly income on internet service for only 3-4 GB of capacity. The user behaviors, unit economics, and regulatory hurdles are fundamentally different than other markets. With DePIN Summit Africa 2025, we hope to bridge that gap and help plant the seeds for DePIN to expand its reach globally, and specifically into East Africa going forward.

We’re excited to be joined by headline speakers including:
- Kristof De Spiegeleer, co-founder of @threefold_io's decentralized cloud computing network
- Neil Chatterjee, co-founder of @dawninternet's decentralized fixed wireless internet
- Jose Aycart, co-founder of @shareinternet's decentralized internet and compute infrastructure
- Alireza Ghods, co-founder of @natixnetwork's decentralized digital mapping network
- Robin Wingardh, co-founder of @wingbits's decentralized flight tracking to Africa
- Fredrik Ahlgren, co-founder @srcful's decentralized virtual power plants
- Raullen Chai, co-founder of @iotex_io's modular DePIN L1 and development platform

5 power interruptions in 4 days is just not acceptable

[ngao @AlvinMutisya]

@KenyaPower_Care I keep praying for the day we will get more energy providers.

[Combinder @combinderio]

⚡️Real people. Real homes. Real smart plugs.
Over the last 6 months, we’ve been building on @shelly_IoT with a mission: reward people not just for using energy, but for sharing insights from it.

Here’s what it looks like:

@HELBpage Hi, I'm curious to know what exactly this status means,

For context, there are no funds disbursed to the account and I have no way of obtaining any further information, Clicking on see details loads a blank page.

Please let me know what I can do.

[ngao @AlvinMutisya]

@Kenyans This is nuts!

@THEJERE We have warehousing as a service in Kenya, but I guess with the storage of a car it’s different because of the frequent starts to keep it active. Ama I missed the point 😅?

[ngao @AlvinMutisya]

@citizentvkenya We just DGAF!

[ngao @AlvinMutisya]

@PceaKikuyu You should know that this is not something I took lightly, the number of trips we have made to a hospital we had confidence in, one founded on Christian principles but clearly not living to those standards.

[ngao @AlvinMutisya]

@PceaKikuyu The hospital is a good facility but the processes are outdated and ineficient. You should find out why your staff are undermotivated. “Your file is missing “ is a thing of the past.
