here are the winners of demo day hardware and depin:
🥇 @callnetwork_ - @Ronak0010
a crowdsourced network to prevent spam calls/messages. he literally onboarded 2000 contacts in an hour at the booth yesterday!
🥈 battpack - @greyhound_raj
mobile EV chargers on trucks to power your electric vehicle wherever you are stuck. dont get battery anxiety w/ battpack
740 M+ smartphone users in India and Nepal are spending 4+ hrs/day while using just 24.1GB/month.
That is a huge underused computing power, opening new possibilities.
DePIN turns these phones into nodes, shifting users from platform consumers to network owners with rewards.
DePIN apps on @solanamobile should be very interesting. It could work because humans are inherently mobile. I can see an app with an intuitive UX and a very specific mobile crypto experience really take off.
Just shipped the android app for Callnetwork.
Next up is launching it in the @solanamobile for 150k + users to use.
We're growing organically but now it's time to breakout.
Almost everyone has a smartphone today.
Data suggests that in the biggest emerging markets, people mandatorily have a mobile internet plan but do not necessarily have a broadband plan.
Going mobile is the best way to onboard the next billion users into crypto.
At @callnetworktwts , we're solving spam with a DePIN crowdsourced Universal Caller ID that rewards users for contributions.
Also, @solanamobile gives us a distribution of 120k+ from day 1. It's officially Solana Mobile szn.
- 92% Indians get spam calls despite DND registration
- $621 average loss per phone scam victim
- $10.3B in global cybercrime losses
- 47M Americans lost money to phone scams in 2024
We're here to solve that using a global crowdsourced caller ID powered by DePIN on @solana
Why build mobile / @solanamobile?
If you think about, all the top apps in crypto primarily focus on web apps and they are great.
But people are not sitting in front of their computers 24/7, and they are commuting, traveling, sitting in cafes often without a computer.
What are they doing? Things they can do on mobile. Email, scrolling facebook, instagram and Twitter. All this while they could be using your mobile app instead.
Sure you can use the mobile wallet app browsers, but that is painful UX.
Projects are missing out on an unfathomable amount of user time where they could be using your apps on-the-go. Whether its making a quick trade, or responding on your @moolah.
The future isn't mobile, we're already there, crypto just hasn't gotten caught up yet.
With the recent Apple loss, and the ability to bypass their 27% fees, there is literally no reason not to get your mobile strategy ready and front run all of crypto.

We are officially retiring our beta testing of the Callnetwork Telegram app.
1500+ users, 20000+ contacts, 100,000+ Call points earned.
Next is building and transitioning to a native mobile app with full Callnetwork features for absolute spam protection.
It's Breakout time!
as breakout approaches, here’s a look back at the depin and hardware bootcamp we hosted last month.
AQI to smart locks — all submissions in the making 👀
