📡 DIMO Insights & News

  • This week, the milestone of 10,000 Tesla vehicles connected to the DIMO Network was surpassed! Tesla continues to push the limits of “smart” cars, and leads the pack as the most connected car brand on the network. https://twitter.com/DIMO_Network/status/1744422555702767841

  • Check out this tweetstorm from last weekend detailing the Device Canonical Name system, or DCN. Similar to ENS on Ethereum, it’s a system for assigning a vehicle on the network a human-readable name like a vanity plate for your car. https://twitter.com/DIMO_Network/status/1743679535948747124

  • Don’t forget! There are loads of grants available for builders who want to make crazy ideas happen on DIMO. This week highlighted RFP #8, which calls for games and quests that leverage DIMO data. https://www.dimoignite.org/

  • Yesterday, CoinGecko published a rundown of the DePIN narrative gaining traction in the wider web3 world. They argue that "current systems are grossly centralized" and DePIN returns control back to users in a new sort of "industrial class DAO". https://www.coingecko.com/learn/depin-crypto-decentralized-physical-infrastructure-networks

  • In another clip, Rob Solomon gets into the nitty gritty of why DIMO is built on Polygon instead of other web3 protocols like Solana. He argues that being composable with all the other innovative experiments happening in the Ethereum ecosystem is an underrated advantage. https://twitter.com/DIMO_Network/status/1745538822966775919

  • DIMO is cooking something up in February for the massive crypto celebration that is EthDenver. You may remember the DIMO Bronco driving around last year to get people hyped about DePIN, and the team is starting to plan some activities surrounding this year’s event. If you’ll be in Colorado for the conference, we’d love to link up! https://www.ethdenver.com/

🔔 Reminders

  • Don’t trust, verify! We’ve got a @shaolinfunktastic doppleganger going around trying to scam people out of their hard-earned DIMO rewards. DIMO employees will NEVER ask you for your seed phrase, passwords, private key, or other sensitive information that is not required for support. Always double check usernames, look for the verified Discord user flair (Mods, DINC, Customer Success, Community Support), and when in doubt DM a moderator or go straight to [email protected]. https://discord.com/channels/892438668453740634/892445232422064169/1194856729188515841
