After NOT detonated the wealth effect, the popularity of Ton ecological games represented by Hamster Kombat, Catizen, and MomoAI continued to increase. At the same time, new projects with different gameplays continued to pour in. In this article, Followin will briefly introduce a Depin+ game project DePinSim .
According to the official introduction, DePinSim is the world's first full-chain crypto-native (e)SIM network, which aims to redefine the Web3 user acquisition model by introducing a built-in wallet, reshaping crypto entities based on mobile phone numbers, rewarding users with free traffic through a task system and other airdrops, and revolutionizing the data traffic market by providing a global roaming eSIM service based on Telegram and a mobile phone traffic trading market.
It sounds complicated, but the core lies in two key words: eSIM and incentives .
eSIM is the core of the DePinSim project. To participate in the project, users first need to obtain eSIM by scanning the QR code provided by DePinSim (of course, if the phone does not support eSIM, DePinSim also provides physical SIM card services). The project provides free eSIM to 55 countries and regions.
Users can use the eSIM phone number as their own unique wallet address to directly perform various operations on the chain. At the same time, the eSIM number is also the user's DID on the chain, which is used for security and verification. Moreover, the eSIM itself is also a "mining machine", allowing users to use idle computing power for mining.
The incentive system provides various tasks for users to participate and get rewards. Users can get incentives by completing various tasks, sharing traffic with others, eSIM mining, inviting friends and even staking mechanisms. The rewards here include free mobile traffic and token airdrops.
The project has not yet been launched, but in the video posted on the official Twitter account, we can see that the main task here is inseparable from the current mainstream gameplay of the Ton mini-game, that is, tapping the screen to mine. In essence, it is still a model of earning points and receiving airdrops. 
In the entire incentive system, "Monetize Your Global Footprint" is a very important part of the project. It mainly includes the global traffic trading market, location rewards (obtained by participating in or visiting a specific location), advertising rewards for specific areas (obtained by users watching advertisements placed by companies), sharing travel guides or making reviews, connecting IoT devices, etc. In many tasks, DePinSim is more like an intermediary platform, connecting the B-end and the C-end.
Looking at the project’s roadmap, it seems that the elements of “value coin” are fully utilized, including multi-chain integration, credit card services, private mobile networks, DeFi+Staking, hardware products, and global roaming networks. 
Use free traffic + airdrops for customer acquisition and cold start, use eSim cards to enter the market and add DePin labels, and mining, airdrops, Staking and other gameplay clearly define the Web3 tone. The plan for "Monetize Your Global Footprint" allows people to see some use cases of the project, and the future plans reveal a grand vision. The overall design is very complete, so complete that it even makes people feel that the project is either ambitious or a scam.
The previous craze of Helium Mobile on Solana has verified the feasibility of this DePin model to a certain extent. Coupled with the gameplay and popularity of the Ton ecosystem, DePinSim has reason to attract our attention. The project product has not yet been launched. Interested friends can follow the official Twitter. Investment has risks, and everyone should pay attention to the risks while paying attention.
