Linera powers real-time coordination and data processing for decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN), smart cities, and IoT systems. As networks of wireless devices, sensor grids, and energy markets grow, blockchains often struggle to handle the data volume, local coordination, and microtransactions needed to make these systems truly decentralized.

Linera’s microchains allow each network—whether it’s a wireless provider, energy node, or sensor array—to operate independently while settling transactions and sharing data in real-time. Local microchains can process data from devices, verify sensor outputs, and automate payments for network participants—without competing for blockspace with other applications.

Smart city applications can use Linera for real-time resource allocation, adaptive traffic systems, and automated toll payments, while IoT and DePIN systems can reward users for providing bandwidth, computing power, or renewable energy—all with instant settlement and transparent verification.
