Building Real Web3 | Why Asia Leads in DePIN, Infrastructure, and Next-Gen Blockchain Innovation | Bitcoin.com News Podcast

About this episode

At SEABW (Southeast Asia Blockchain Week), Alun sat down with Michael “BitBender” Brink of DGram Network (@BitBenderBrink) and Jeff Espejo of LFG Incorporated (@LFGincorporated) to unpack why Asia has become the global launchpad for real Web3 development.

In this high-energy discussion, the trio explores why DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) are gaining momentum across Asia, how infrastructure-first projects are outperforming hype-driven ventures, and what many builders still misunderstand about creating sustainable ecosystems.

With boots-on-the-ground insights from SEABW, they cut through the vaporware to highlight how real-world adoption, hardware integration, and network incentives are driving the next wave of blockchain growth — led by pragmatic builders in Asia.

• Why Asia is the leading launchpad for DePIN and infrastructure-first ecosystems
• Lessons from SEABW on what separates real builders from vaporware
• How hardware, incentives, and user access shape long-term success
• The importance of sustainable Web3 infrastructure over short-term hype
• What global builders can learn from Asia’s fast-moving crypto markets

A must-listen for founders, developers, and investors who want to understand why Asia’s Web3 ecosystems are setting the standard for real-world blockchain adoption and decentralized infrastructure growth.
