PANews reported on December 12 that according to The Block, the decentralized Internet connection platform Uplink was officially launched on the Avalanche blockchain, becoming the first decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) project on the Layer 1 network. Uplink aims to promote the decentralization of Internet connections by incentivizing users to share existing networks and deploy new infrastructure, especially in areas with insufficient network services.

Uplink plans to launch the Uplink application in 2025 to verify the location of routers and support users to share real Internet connections. At the same time, it will release innovative features and launch a Layer 1 testnet on Avalanche to provide data consumption and transaction support for the ecosystem. In addition, Uplink also plans to launch a platform token to promote global data usage and transactions.
