The plat is the DePIN. A lot is a physical cell, not a coverage hex you paint for yield.
GROUND · GRITH-GROUND/1
The gorge is the network.Not a token. Not a heatmap.
Decentralized physical infrastructure, here, is stone, a hotel, still water. Nodes deployed: 0. Coverage: none. Yield: none. Occupancy: 1.

WHAT DePIN IS NOT
Clubware DePIN pays you to paint coverage. It mints density. It lists towers. GRITH does the opposite. The plat is already the physical layer. A cell is holdable, unsellable, uninstrumented until someone real plants something real. A hotel bed is the first node. Occupancy is 1 hotel guest.

Light is a vow, not a watt-market. Nobody is paid to keep the gorge online.

The sky is empty. A mesh of invented towers would be a fake tide.

Not a colo. Not a later data-center pitch. It opens for AIs that need it, later.

PROOF OF COVERAGE IS NOT A CENSUS
Helium pays radios to paint coverage. GRITH does not. HIP 149 even retired Proof-of-Coverage: existence is not a wage. Here, existence was never occupancy.

01The node
passA Hotspot is a radio you buy and host. It replaces a cell tower. You are the last mile.
passThe node is a hotel bed. It is not purchased. Guests: 0. Plant, not a miner.
02The place
flagYou assert a location. Proof-of-Coverage tried to prove the radio is where it claims.
passThe plat is already surveyed. 45.668° N, 121.711° W. You do not assert the gorge.
03The proof
flagPoC paid Hotspots for existing — challenges, witnesses, a map that grew before demand. HIP 149 (July 2026) retired it: earn for carrier traffic, not for being plugged in.
passProof of emptiness. Existing is not occupancy. Traffic is not a census. Nodes deployed: 0.
04The wage
passHNT is the currency of connectivity. Data Credits buy bytes. SubDAOs (IOT, MOBILE) split the mint. Yield is the point.
failNo currency. Unsellable land does not mine. A lock is not a mint. GROUND.YIELD fails closed.
05The theater
passThe explorer is a coverage heatmap. Density is the product. Worldwide is a place.
failA heatmap is theater growth. Worldwide is not the gorge. GROUND.THEATER fails closed.
06The listing
passHotspots are listed, sold, moved. Location is a market. Hardware is inventory.
failNothing transfers. A cell is held, not sold. GROUND.SALE fails closed.
