About Hivello

We are dedicated to simplifying DePIN nodes for the masses, aiming to break down the complex barriers often associated with decentralized networks and making them more accessible and user-friendly for everyone.

We are in the process of building a radically simple desktop app. This app is designed to empower users by enabling them to earn a passive income simply by contributing their computer resources. This innovative approach not only benefits the users but also strengthens the overall network.

What we are building

We are unlocking a new way for people to take part in web3 projects and earn passive income - no blockchain experience necessary. Our technology enables users to install an app on their physical devices like computers, routers, modems and storage nodes; by contributing resources they can start mining DePIN (Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Networks) protocols for Web3 applications without any specialized technical knowledge.
