TL;DR: fractals.fun has integrated load0 in its marketplace, ensuring DePIN device listings remain immutable and fast.
DePIN networks have a cold start problem. Deploying physical infrastructure needs capital upfront, but revenue only materializes as devices operate over time.
For operators, the only traditional way to make money is by selling reward tokens which dumps on existing holders and provides no way to capture future earnings upfront.
For capital providers, there’s no clean way to gain exposure to specific high-performing devices without the operational burden of deployment and maintenance. You can buy a device yourself, but then you need technical knowledge, a physical location, and ongoing upkeep.
Fractals solves this by creating a two-sided capital market: operators can sell tokenized claims on future device rewards (shards) to raise deployment capital immediately, while buyers get direct exposure to device-level economics without touching hardware.
How Fractals Works
Fractals is a Solana marketplace that unlocks liquidity for decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN). Deployers mint and sell shards enabling capital from anywhere to flow into real-world infrastructure deployment.
Rather than waiting for traditional funding cycles, operators can tokenize their network’s future earnings and sell them to buyers worldwide, who then receive proportional rewards as devices generate revenue.
Fractals is integrated with XNET, Helium, and Geodnet antennas.
Why Permanent Metadata Matters for DePIN Markets
For DePIN markets, device listings, performance metrics, and reward distributions must be verifiable, tamper-proof, and accessible long-term. When you’re tokenizing real-world infrastructure, metadata must be permanent and immutable.
That’s why it’s important that the data is onchain. If a centralized provider goes down or censors data, device listings go offline and shard holders lose visibility into their assets. It’s no different to a million dollar NFT turning into a 404.
Fractals needs metadata that outlives the cloud, remains cryptographically verifiable, and scales globally without vendor lock-in.
That’s why every device listing, shard configuration, and performance metric is stored using load0.
load0: Permanent Metadata, Developer-Friendly Interface
Fractals uses load0 for immutable marketplace metadata that’s easy to integrate.
Traditional cloud storage incurs ongoing costs for metadata that must remain accessible indefinitely. With load0, Fractals pays once and the data persists permanently. As marketplace activity scales, this eliminates a growing operational expense.
The technical implementation is easy. Fractals uploads metadata using the load0 endpoint, as simple as:
(Docs)
load0 returns an optimistic hash of data stored on Load S3 while seeding the data permanently as Load EVM calldata. All data that flows through Load is stored on Arweave, making load0 a fast, EVM-turing, optimistic uploading interface with eventual permanence guarantees, avoiding the latency that comes with permanent storage ingress.
