What is the dVIN Crypto?

The dVIN Protocol integrates blockchain technology into the $1.8 trillion global wine industry through three core components: decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN), real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, and data monetization. Built on Solana, the protocol creates Digital Cork™ NFTs representing physical wine bottles, enabling traceability from production to consumption.

$VIN serves as the native utility token facilitating:

• Supply chain verification through RFID-tracked environmental data
• Fractional ownership of luxury wines via partnerships with platforms like SegMint
• Consumer rewards for sharing tasting notes and consumption patterns
• Winemaker access to authenticated consumption analytics

The system addresses longstanding industry challenges including counterfeiting (estimated at 20% of premium wines) and opaque provenance tracking.

1. Cellar Challenge: Users earn points by:

   • Tokenizing personal wine collections (Digital Cork NFTs)
   • Minting Tasting Token™ NFTs when opening bottles
   • Sharing tasting experiences with up to 12 friends

2. DePIN Participation:

   • Operating RFID scanning nodes in distribution channels
   • Validating storage condition data from smart cellars

3. Liquidity Provision:

   • Staking in fractionalized wine pools
   • Governing RWA marketplace parameters

Points convert to $VIN during quarterly airdrops, with bonuses for early participants from partner communities like RealVision and Madlads.
