AIPIN offers an innovative model called 'Device Activation Mining' which turns AI devices into blockchain nodes, enabling users to earn rewards through their usage.
Core Concept and Philosophy of AIPIN
The primary motivation behind AIPIN's creation stemmed from insights into AI development trends transitioning from cloud to edge computing. This necessitates providing financial support for autonomous intelligent machines. AIPIN aims to replace traditional crowdfunding with long-term engagement and shared ownership in product ecosystems.

Mechanisms of Operation and Rewards
Once a device is activated using a unique code, it becomes a node within the AIPIN network. Users can stake EMC tokens to enable mining functionality. The system tracks various metrics to calculate the device's 'contribution points', based on which rewards are automatically distributed. These rewards can include platform tokens, project-specific tokens, and governance rights.
Ensuring Verifiability and Preventing Fraud
AIPIN aims to ensure that user rewards are based on real, verifiable contributions from the devices. Each device must be activated through a unique Activation Code to prevent forgery. Task completion data is recorded on-chain or uploaded through trusted oracles. Devices must complete real tasks to receive rewards.
The AIPIN model creates a new ecosystem where users are not just buyers but active participants, strengthening the relationship between users and the network.
