DePIN Network
A decentralized physical infrastructure for real-time health data.
TheVapeLabs operates as a DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) protocol - where every smart vape device deployed becomes a physical data collector contributing to a collective, open nicotine health data layer.
Unlike traditional data silos owned by corporations or governments, TheVapeLabs enables a globally distributed network of data producers, governed by users, not institutions.
What is DePIN in the Context of TheVapeLabs?
At its core, our DePIN system turns every Omega Series device into a permissioned, encrypted data collector. When a user puff, their anonymized puff data is contributed to the broader network, creating a continuously updating nicotine usage map in real time.
This network is:
User-owned - the data is generated and governed by individuals, not platforms
Open-access - available for public health research, innovation, and verified external stakeholders
Real-time - unlike outdated survey systems, DePIN makes data dynamic and adaptive
Encrypted-by-default - with zero identity linkage, wallet-level pseudonymity, and opt-in controls
How It Works
Device Logs Behavior
Each puff, session, and behavior is captured via the Omega Series smart vape
Data is Processed Locally
Device stores encrypted logs offline first
User Connects to App
Upon Bluetooth sync, data is pushed to the Miniapp and optionally to the DePIN layer
Network Aggregates Anonymous Inputs
All shared data is anonymized, structured, and indexed for research or protocol functions
Contributors are Rewarded
Based on behavior quality, consistency, and volume - contributors receive oMIST/$MIST
What the Network Powers
A live nicotine usage index by region, demographic, and time
Transparent data accessible to researchers, partners, and policy groups
Scalable onboarding for public health collaborations and clinical studies
Trustless data provenance - every record is signed, encrypted, and traceable to a wallet, not a name
DePIN = Data Infrastructure with Incentive Alignment
What makes our DePIN model powerful:
Devices create data liquidity
Users become stakeholders
Public health orgs gain open tools
The protocol scales by participation, not extraction
TheVapeLabs is not just tracking behavior - it is building a decentralized, encrypted, and incentive-aligned alternative to the outdated public health data system.
