Why Pivot Supports the Cluster Protocol?

 

Introduction

The digital economy landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by two transformative forces: the growth of decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) and the increasing demand for AI-powered solutions. At Pivot Capital, we excel in identifying and accelerating projects at the forefront of innovation, and Cluster Protocol stands out as a groundbreaking initiative.



Selected for our flagship web3 startup support program, Cluster Protocol's unique Proof-of-Compute system aligns perfectly with our mission to foster revolutionary technologies. This partnership underscores Pivot's commitment to nurturing projects reshaping the future of web3 ventures.


The DePIN and AI Revolution

Market Insights

The DePIN market has experienced extraordinary growth, with its market cap rising by over 40% to USD $31 billion in just two weeks. The decentralized cloud computing market is projected to reach $1.5 trillion by 2030, driven by compute-intensive industries such as AI.

AI demands vast computational resources for model training and extensive data analysis. To meet this surge, decentralized networks require innovative solutions for incentivizing compute nodes—precisely the challenge Cluster Protocol addresses.

Cluster Protocol: The Game-Changer

Proof-of-Compute Innovation

Cluster Protocol is revolutionizing the DePIN + AI sector by introducing a Proof-of-Compute system. This innovative network consistently rewards GPU providers, whether rented or idle. Such a model ensures consistent earnings and fosters open and incentivized participation, which is essential for scaling decentralized compute networks.

Cluster's commitment to inclusivity aligns with Pivot's vision of making advanced technologies accessible to everyone, a goal central to all our web3 ventures.

Why Pivot Backs Cluster Protocol

Founder-Centric Approach

Pivot prioritizes founders who exhibit passion, vision, and resilience. Cluster Protocol's co-founders, Prateek and Yatharth, embody these qualities. Over the past two years, they've honed their expertise in web3 startup ecosystems and community building, gaining invaluable insights into the challenges of web3 ventures.

Their ability to merge innovation with a community-driven approach earned them a clear ✅ from the Pivot startup team.

Cutting-Edge Technology

Cluster Protocol uses Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) to enable secure data processing while maintaining privacy and data integrity. This innovation allows verifiable computations on private data, ensuring trust and security without compromising confidentiality.

By embracing FHE, Cluster aligns with Pivot's mission to accelerate technologies, prioritizing decentralization, efficiency, and privacy.

Cluster Protocol’s Key Features

Cluster Protocol introduces several transformative features, making it a leader in the DePIN + AI market:

  • Ready-to-deploy AI models: Accelerates adoption and scalability across industries.
  • Decentralized data marketplace: Secured by FHE for safe and efficient data exchanges.
  • Cluster AI Hub: Empowers developers and researchers to contribute, collaborate, and earn in a decentralized ecosystem.
  • High-performance GPU resources: Ensures industrial-grade compute capabilities for AI workloads.

These innovations reflect a comprehensive approach that aligns with Pivot Capital's vision of fostering technologies for long-term impact.

Competitive Edge

Cluster Protocol enters a competitive market alongside established players such as Io.NET, Ocean Protocol, Render Network, and Akash Network. However, it differentiates itself through:

  • Verifiable compute: Ensuring trust and transparency.
  • Decentralized AI model training: Empowering contributors with unique ownership rights.
  • Deploy-to-earn model: A user-friendly and inclusive incentive system.
  • Cost-efficiency: Making high-quality services more accessible to broader audiences.

These factors position Cluster Protocol as not just a participant but a leader in redefining web3 ventures.

The Growing Addressable Market

Sector Projections

The DePIN and AI markets are primed for exponential growth:

  • According to industry reports, the DePIN market is expected to reach $3.5 trillion by 2028.
  • The cloud computing market, valued at $480 billion in 2022, could hit $1.5 trillion by 2030.
  • AI computing expands over 100 traditional industries, creating untapped opportunities for web3 ventures.
  • A record 600,000 nodes were added to the Debian ecosystem in 2023, reflecting the rising interest in decentralized infrastructure.

These figures underscore the immense potential for web3 startup support to drive innovation in this space.
