We all know that crypto is risky. And while DePIN offers real-world utility, a small chance of failure is always present. It’s why miners are so focused on their ROIs.

AquaSave’s new DePIN device is unique as its core functionality removes a large part of that risk. Their product presale is imminent, along with juicy point multipliers and an upcoming airdrop.

This is an issue you won’t want to skip!

💧 Save Water by Earning Money 💰

If the title of today’s issue sounds too good to be true, you probably don’t know much about DePIN yet. But never fear dear reader, as we’ve got you covered! We’re about to dive into AquaSave’s visionary solution to the world’s water problem and take a look at their unique product that makes this possible. 🚰

Read on to learn about one of the biggest challenges facing our planet and how DePIN Hub readers like yourself can contribute to tackling this issue, all from the comfort of your own bathroom sink. And for those of you who want to go that extra mile, you can take a look at Daniel’s recent interview with AquaSave Cofounder Sergio Marquez, as well as this awesome deep dive we just published on the DePIN Hub website. 🤿

The growing problem with our planet’s water supply

The thing that usually differentiates the good projects from the not so good ones, is the size and seriousness of the problem they set out to solve. As you’ll soon find out, they don’t come much bigger than what AquaSave has set out to solve. 👀

Our planet is on the brink of a very serious issue - we’re running out of water! Well, not the water you see on the map; actually it’s bizarre that we call this place Earth when most of the surface is covered by ocean…

Salty seawater is not what we humans require for drinking and food production. Humans rely heavily upon freshwater, yet this makes up less than 3% of all the water on our planet. What’s worse, most of that freshwater is stored in the ground or frozen in ice. The real amount that’s available to us is but a mere fraction of that 3%.

With the threat of rising temperatures and an overpopulation crisis that’s spiralling out of control, it’s only a matter of time before our demand outweighs supply. Experts like McKinsey&Co. predict this milestone could be reached as early as 2030.

To put it bluntly - we’re screwed. 😱

That is unless we change our ways and come up with innovative methods to surmount this challenge. And that’s exactly what the AquaSave team has set out to do.

AquaSave’s DePIN solution to water waste

Using a combination of IoT, blockchain and community participation, AquaSave has designed an ecosystem that focuses on reducing water waste, while empowering key decision makers with real-time water usage data. This is made possible thanks to their new AquaBank recirculation pump. 🔁

The pump works by preventing cold water from exiting the faucet, recycling it back to the heater, and releasing it once the desired temperature has been reached. This simple solution can save households thousands of liters of water per year. It's a win-win for the environment, and for your water bill. 🫰

So where does DePIN fit in? Glad you asked. The AquaBank is a smart device that relays data back to the AquaSave network, which is supported by Solana. AquaBank owners get paid for their contribution in $AQC tokens, while the anonymous real-time data generated by their usage can be utilized by enterprises and regional authorities to improve services and make more efficient use of their scarce water resources.

By leveraging this data, AquaSave’s goal is to open a whole new market for Water Footprint Certificates, similar to how carbon credits have revolutionized the energy sector. A transparent and verifiable blockchain-based system is an ideal tool in the battle against global water shortages. ✅

Meet the AquaBank

The model that makes this all possible is the AquaBank. As mentioned above, this product is quite unique in DePIN. Let’s face it, if the DePIN behind your network-specific antenna, dashcam, sensor, or whatever, runs into trouble, what will you do with that equipment? It’s one of the few risks we choose to run with as DePIN deployers.

But having a device that avoids water waste and detects leaks is a valuable addition to any homeowner’s setup. The potential savings from avoiding thousands of liters of wasted water enables the AquaBank to contribute directly to its ROI. This is a product that transcends the data sharing that’s typical of DePIN use cases, bringing with it years of physical utility and economic advantages. 🫰

The installation itself is rather straightforward and shouldn’t require additional construction work. All you need is some space underneath the sink and some standard tools. If plumbing’s not your thing, it might be better to ask a pro for a helping hand. Standing knee-deep in a flooded bathroom is not the type of liquidity mining we recommend!

AquaSave has written a clear compatibility guide that should help new owners get their gear up and running - or stop their taps running, to be more precise.

🚨 AquaBank presale 🚨
