Datagram has launched its Core Substrate, a decentralized backend framework tailored to support scalable DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) and real-world dApps. The platform went live on April 3, and is already in discussions with top-tier blockchain ecosystems, according to sources confirmed by crypto.news.
Designed as a seamless, developer-friendly alternative to centralized infrastructure like AWS, Core Substrate enables teams to launch DePIN networks with reduced complexity and faster time to market.
A Base Layer for the DePIN Movement
Serving as a backbone for DePIN deployment, Core Substrate mirrors the modularity of frameworks like Cosmos SDK and Polkadot Substrate, but emphasizes plug-and-play scalability.
“We’re the substrate on which future DePINs will be built,” said Jason Brink, Datagram’s co-founder.
“Ethereum is synonymous with tokens. Solana with meme coins. When it comes to DePINs, we want people to think of Datagram.”
The architecture supports several high-usage verticals, including:
- Content delivery (CDNs)
- Decentralized SaaS platforms
- AI compute workloads
- Real-time multiplayer game infrastructure
Decentralized Cloud Performance with Significant Cost Reductions
Replacing cloud incumbents like AWS, Datagram delivers decentralized services for storage, compute, and messaging—promising 70–90% cost savings, without sacrificing performance or control.
Importantly, its low-code automation makes it accessible even to non-Web3 enterprises, minimizing the need for blockchain-specific expertise.
UDP Integration Enables Real-Time, High-Speed Applications
Datagram’s most novel feature is its support for UDP-based communication over a decentralized mesh—ideal for latency-sensitive applications such as:
- Video conferencing
- Online gaming
- Live AI inference
By offering real-time performance and preserving decentralization, Datagram is positioning itself as a next-generation backend for mission-critical Web3 use cases.
With integrations in progress and Core Substrate now live, Datagram aims to become the foundation layer of the DePIN ecosystem, bridging the gap between decentralized tech and real-world utility.
