In a major step forward for Web3 adoption, Chirp, a leader in decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN), has partnered with Staex, a secure data orchestration platform, to deploy IoT sensors across up to 200,000 municipal buses, with the capacity to scale up to 12 IoT devices per vehicle.
This national-scale initiative reflects one of the largest decentralized infrastructure efforts globally, designed for real-world utility and scalable across industries—from mobility and logistics to smart cities. Each bus will act as a mobile data node, capturing a range of real-time information such as air quality, temperature, humidity, and movement patterns. By emphasizing multi-sensor support, the Chirp network showcases not just its scale, but also the robustness and flexibility needed for high-density urban deployments.
This deployment will be rolled out during the Berlin Blockchain Week at the Mobility DePIN Launch, positioning Chirp as a leader in transforming blockchain from theory to live infrastructure powering everyday systems.
From Hype to Hardware
While many blockchain projects remain conceptual, Chirp is already operational. Its decentralised network spans over 50 countries, with 476+ Blackbird Miners and over 1.2 million IoT devices actively transmitting data. This global infrastructure forms the backbone of Chirp’s platform, which unites incompatible iot technologies simplifying deployments for end users.
By partnering with Staex, Chirp’s infrastructure will now serve national transit systems, collecting real-time environmental data such as CO₂ levels, temperature, humidity, and also provides valuable data on public transport usage. These are just some of the initial usecases and the offerings will increase as the ecosystem grows.
Enterprise Adoption and Revenue in Motion
In contrast to many early-stage projects that are still looking for their first customers. Chirp’s service is already being employed by clients such as Netzbest, and European drone corridor for smart cities and other large-scale deployments.
Chirp is among the select few DePIN platforms that have real-world traction with commercial potential. It is also a strong foundation for the future development of smart cities, logistics and industrial IoT.
A Token Model Driven by Real Demand
The $CHIRP token powers the ecosystem, but unlike inflationary models seen in other projects, Chirp’s tokenomics are utility-based. Businesses pay in fiat or crypto to use Chirp’s services. These payments trigger automatic token buybacks through the Data Credits system, reinforcing value through demand rather than emissions.
This model ensures that token activity reflects real-world infrastructure usage, aligning long-term token value with actual service delivery.
Chirp’s Full-Stack IoT Platform
Chirp’s IoT dashboard is designed with enterprise automation and monitoring in mind. It works with LoRa Cellular, BLE, Zigbee, Wi-Fi, and other radios, which is quite useful. The software will also be whitelabelled, enabling businesses to launch it under their brand. Chirp can easily be scaled up or down due to its radio-agnostic and blockchain-enabled nature.
Gamified Data Contribution Through Kage
To decentralize data collection even further, Chirp’s Kage app rewards users for scanning wireless signals. By doing these scans, you will help create a decentralized geolocation database that powers navigation, logistics and location analytics applications.
The experience is gamified through Wings of Chronos, an augmented reality feature that turns the scanning process into a treasure hunt with real rewards, encouraging grassroots participation and viral engagement.
A Pivotal Showcase in Berlin
The partnership and live deployment will be presented during Berlin Blockchain Week at the Mobility DePIN Launch, a showcase focused on tangible infrastructure achievements. As the spotlight shifts from theoretical potential to working systems, Chirp’s presentation will highlight how DePIN can meet national-level requirements today.
“This is not just another whitepaper announcement,” said a Chirp spokesperson. “We’re scaling real infrastructure. We’re showing the world that decentralized systems can power cities.”
About Chirp
Chirp is a decentralized infrastructure network designed to connect real-world IoT devices using blockchain. With live deployments across more than 50 countries and nearly one million connected devices, Chirp delivers enterprise IoT solutions at scale. Its token, $CHIRP, is driven by actual utility, not speculation, making it a pioneering force in the future of Web3 infrastructure.
