Tashi Network’s software DePIN capabilities, initially designed for gaming, are expanding to support enterprise use cases such as multi-master databases, message queues, and configuration systems (e.g., etcd). Through this collaboration, Tashi Network will provide its sub-50ms latency, multi-master consensus protocol to applications running on Conduit’s secure hardware, ensuring optimal reliability and synchronization across organizational boundaries. As part of the partnership, Tashi software may be pre-installed on Conduit devices, allowing device owners to activate Tashi’s DePIN capabilities with a simple license, maximizing security and accessibility.
To support the growing DePIN ecosystem, Tashi Network and Conduit Network are also forming a council with other DePIN projects. This council will define technical standards, business best practices, and governance models to foster interoperability and establish a solid foundation for future development within the DePIN sector. Together, Tashi and Conduit aim to set the standards that will guide DePIN projects toward secure, scalable, and interoperable solutions.
The partnership also explores an aligned market approach, with Conduit’s physical devices pre-loaded with Tashi’s software. This integration will allow Conduit device owners to participate effortlessly in Tashi’s DePIN network, contributing resources and benefiting from Tashi’s reliable, peer-to-peer consensus engine.
On the economic front, Tashi Network and Conduit Network are coordinating to create a shared economic framework for their respective communities. This alignment aims to allow their communities to interoperate and benefit from a unified economy, with the long-term goal of expanding this framework to include other DePIN projects. By fostering collaboration, the partnership demonstrates that the whole is indeed greater than the sum of its parts.
Ken Anderson, CTO of Tashi Network, said, “Partnering with Conduit Network is particularly exciting for us because they solve a critical physical network problem with their hardware—a problem that’s extremely challenging to address purely through software. This collaboration lets Tashi focus on what we do best with software-level consensus, while Conduit brings unmatched security and reliability to the physical layer.”
Brandon Baker, Founder of Conduit Network, added, “Our clients need solutions for database, message queue, and configuration synchronization, which are complex software challenges that Tashi’s consensus protocol addresses seamlessly. By integrating Tashi’s technology on top of our secure hardware, we’re creating a powerful platform that meets both physical and software infrastructure needs for decentralized applications.”
This partnership between Tashi Network and Conduit Network establishes a standardized, secure, and collaborative DePIN infrastructure, paving the way for robust decentralized applications, community growth, and long-term economic synergy.
