NetSepio joins peaq to build a DePIN-powered VPN service
peaq, the layer-1 blockchain for DePIN and Machine RWAs, announces the expansion of its ecosystem as NetSepio joins to decentralize VPN services. NetSepio is building a network enabling anyone to add their bandwidth to its DePIN and provide secure and anonymized Internet access to people and businesses anywhere in the world. It will leverage peaq to build a live repository of the available hotspots and mint its token natively on peaq, the home of DePIN.
Online privacy is one of the top worries of today, spurred by the blossoming AI industry and its gargantuan appetite for data. Virtual private networks, or VPNs, are a crucial tool for anyone who’d like to keep their browsing private, working to obfuscate your location, identity, and IP address. However, centralized VPN services are not without their flaws, with some of them selling their users’ data, which effectively defeats their own purpose.
NetSepio changes the game by tapping the Web3 stack to decentralize the VPN and Wi-Fi services. Anyone can join its Erebrus network and earn rewards for sharing their bandwidth with people who want to privately browse the Web or access geo-fenced applications. Enterprises can sponsor VPN for their end users and expand their reach and user base. The network uses zero-knowledge proofs to ensure the users’ privacy by validating authenticity of nodes and peers. It also leverages community insights to proactively detect possible threats, granting the community an additional level of security. The VPN service runs on NFT subscriptions, which can be purchased with crypto in a pseudonymous way. In its beta phase, it has already onboarded 500 users and has grown to 10 nodes, with dozens more to join.
As part of its integration with peaq, NetSepio will make its network of VPN and Wi-Fi nodes discoverable via peaq, using peaq IDs as its identity standard. It will deploy the smart contracts running its business logic on peaq and add real-time status reporting for the nodes. Finally, it will deploy its dApp on peaq mainnet and mint its token on peaq.
“Our online footprint has never been hunted as vehemently as it is today,” says Shachindra Kumar, CEO and Founder of NetSepio. “NetSepio is here to grant everyone the last-mile connectivity and privacy they deserve, leveraging the DePIN model to give the community ownership over the very infrastructure that delivers it the VPN and Wi-Fi services. By leveraging peaq’s secure, scalable, and versatile network, Erebrus Protocol offers reliable, high-speed Internet access while ensuring data integrity and privacy, perfectly aligning with our mission to democratize Web access and security.”
“Privacy is a core Web3 value, and a decentralized VPN service is perfectly aligned with its ethos,” says Leonard Dorlöchter, co-founder of peaq. “With its Erebrus Protocol, NetSepio is giving the world a community-owned VPN and Wi-Fi service secured by trustless Web3 mechanisms and top-notch encryption. We are thrilled to see it join peaq, the home of DePIN, and look forward to its launch and growth.”

Everdome and Alpine Web3 Redefine Fan Engagement with Bold Metaverse Vision
Alpine Web3 and Everdome are joining forces to push the boundaries of fan engagement through immersive digital experiences. Building on Alpine’s storied motorsport legacy, this partnership will bring fans closer to the action with metaverse pop-up spaces and interactive events.
As Alpine Web3 shifts its focus beyond motorsport, this collaboration aims to redefine sports marketing by merging the physical and digital worlds, offering fans a dynamic and innovative way to connect with their favorite teams and events.
Alpine is a brand with a long and successful history, founded in 1955 by Jean Rédélé and quickly building success across multiple motorsports disciplines. With titles across multiple motor racing disciplines such as the World Rally Championship, 24 Hours of Le Mans, success in F1® racing and the FIA WEC Endurance World Championship, Alpine has constantly innovated for success.
Now Alpine seeks to expand their innovation beyond motorsport, looking for ways to engage new audiences with experiential sports marketing as the real and digital worlds converge.
This two-way partnership will see Everdome work on a variety of experiential Alpine focussed destinations, kicking off with a series of metaverse pop-up spaces for Alpine Web3, released to coincide with the major sporting events across their race calendar, from Formula One® and beyond.
Everdome will also create interactive events with Alpine Web3 and their partners, allowing global audiences to take one step closer to the action as we explore the future of sports fan engagement together.
Last year, Everdome and Alpine first collaborated with an exclusive metaverse AMA with their F1® driver Pierre Gasly and Binance Fan Token, creating an interactive event where the audience could join with their avatar-likenesses inside a unique environment, bringing them closer to their racing heroes inside a digital world.
“Experiential marketing is on the rise as audiences react positively to immersive, interactive experiences which bring a feeling of deeper involvement with their sporting teams and heroes.’’ said Artur Kaczmarczyk, Chief Growth Officer for Everdome. “This new partnership will explore a future of sports fan engagement, creating a series of activations across the motorsports racing calendar to let global Alpine fans feel closer to the team, drivers and brand.’’
Beginning with metaverse spaces highlighting images and videos from Alpine inside fully interactive, avatar-led digital environments, Everdome will go on to create a dedicated and permanent metaverse footprint for Alpine Racing inside their digital headquarters, showcasing their glorious history, exciting present and promising future.
“This collaboration with Everdome underlines our commitment to constant innovation through leveraging the latest technology”, said Guillaume Vergnas, Head of Merchandising, Licensing, Esports & Web3 at Alpine. ‘’Motorsport has always been about passion, spectacle and interaction, and with Everdome we seek to allow audiences a taste of the spectacle in a novel digital world.’’
Everdome will introduce their large community of web3 followers and metaverse pioneers to Alpine’s exciting web3 ecosystem, paving the way for some exciting cross-project collaborations, activations and more across 2024 and beyond.
