Datagram has launched its Core Substrate, a decentralized connectivity baselayer designed to support scalable, real-world decentralized applications and DePIN infrastructure
Announced on April 3, Datagram’s Core Substrate offers developers a live, plug-and-play alternative to centralized cloud solutions, crypto.news can exclusively report. The feature is now live and in active partnership discussions with leading blockchain ecosystems.
The platform allows developers to launch custom DePIN networks and real-world applications on a dedicated, scalable node network, without the complexity typically associated with Web3 integration.
The ‘foundation’ of other DePins
The new substrate positions Datagram as a foundational layer for the DePIN space, comparable to platforms like Cosmos SDK or Polkadot’s Substrate, but uniquely designed for immediate deployment.
Supported use cases include content delivery networks, decentralized SaaS, AI inference, and multiplayer gaming synchronization.
“What we really are is a substrate and foundation upon which other DePINs can be built and can operate,” said Jason Brink, co-founder of Datagram. “When you think of Ethereum, you think of token launches. When you think of Solana, you think of meme coins. When you think of DePIN, you should think of Datagram.”
Cloud alternative with privacy and cost savings
Datagram’s infrastructure offers a decentralized alternative to traditional cloud providers like AWS. Applications can migrate services, such as file storage, distributed compute, or real-time communication layers, to the network, cutting costs by 70–90% and eliminating vendor lock-in. The architecture can be marketed to businesses that lack expert knowledge of blockchain as all on-chain activity is automated and abstracted.
A standout innovation includes Datagram’s ability to handle real-time, UDP-based communications over a decentralized network, allowing applications like video calling, voice chat, multiplayer gameplay, and AI compute workloads with low latency.
