Why it is new

What exists today, and what this does differently

What is new

The pieces exist separately; a unified DePIN operator ledger is the gap.

Closest things out there

DePINscan shows per-network reward stats and Koinly/CoinTracking handle tax, but no tool found unifying device uptime and earnings with tax export.

Checked with web searches in October 2026. A search is not proof that nothing similar exists, and the market moves fast, so we recheck before every build.

The pitch, ready

One honest page a day showing whether your DePIN hardware is really paying you back.

Problem: Home operators juggle one app per network. None knows the electricity price, outages are noticed hours late, and at tax time there is no clean list of what was received, when, and what it was worth.

Solution: Read only connectors index rewards with the price at the minute they landed, device heartbeats drive alerts, power cost is subtracted, and pages are sealed monthly on Base so an export can be checked as unedited.

Why now: Millions of small earning devices now sit in homes, and tax authorities increasingly expect token income to be reported.

Market: Home DePIN operators, the hardware resellers that sell to them and the accountants who file for them.

The ask: Two hardware reseller partners and grant support from DePIN network foundations.

Funding is never guaranteed. Check each program's rules.

For hackathons and demo days

Your 2 minute demo

  1. Home: meet Marco on his Lisbon roof with three devices and three apps.
  2. Devices: set the kWh price and watch the bandwidth node go negative, then hit the Operator paywall to add it.
  3. Watch: the router reboots at 03:12, the heartbeat alert fires and a plug cycle fixes it.
  4. Diary: read the Sunday page and seal October on Base.
  5. Tax: buy the Tax pack in USDC and share the export with Rita.
  6. Owner Agent: the late explorer data and the wrong valuation day, both fixed.
  7. Owner Revenue and Networks: change the Operator price, resync a lagging indexer.
  8. Owner Growth and Roadmap: run a tax season push, then request fleet support.

Many hackathons require code written at the event. See the Regatta Boardfor each race's rule.

BLUEPRINT

Why it matters and how it really works

The need

People who run small earning devices at home (radio hotspots, weather stations, bandwidth nodes) juggle one app per network. None of them knows the electricity price, outages are often noticed hours late, and at tax time there is no clean list of what was received, when, and what it was worth.

What exists and what is new

The pieces exist separately. DePINscan shows per-network reward stats and Koinly or CoinTracking handle crypto tax reports, but research found no tool that unifies device uptime, earnings net of power cost, and a tax-ready export for the operator. Research verdict: rare, medium novelty. What is new here is the operator ledger: one daily page across networks, alerts from a device heartbeat, and net after electricity. It is an integration and honesty layer, not a new network.

The data it runs on

Public reward wallet addresses per device on Solana, Polygon and Base; a small heartbeat ping from each device or its local gateway; the owner's electricity price and device wattage; token prices at the time each reward lands; optional smart plug state. Power bills and home location stay private to the owner.

1.The mission

Show every home operator, in one honest number, whether their hardware is really paying them back.

2.Why people can't resist it

The red line A device that costs more in power than it earns shows up in red, week after week. One look tells you what to unplug.

Silent nights No news is good news: the app only pings you when a heartbeat goes missing, with a one-tap restart when a smart plug is connected.

Sunday page Five lines each Sunday: uptime, landed, power, net, and one thing to check. A streak for weeks with everything up.

3.How it works for real

Wallets and devices: The owner adds public reward addresses and device IDs. Read only: no keys, no signing, no claims. Sign in with Privy email or passkey.

Reward indexer: A Helius webhook for Solana and an Alchemy or Goldsky stream for Polygon and Base record every incoming reward transfer with its timestamp.

Heartbeat: A tiny script on the device or router posts a signed ping every 5 minutes to a Convex endpoint. Missing pings trigger alerts; explorer data is only a cross check.

Pricing: Each reward line stores the token price at the minute it landed from a price API (for example CoinGecko), with the source printed on the export.

Net and alerts: Power cost is computed from wattage and the owner's kWh price. Alerts go out by Telegram bot, email or web push. Optional smart plug restart through the plug's local API.

Monthly seal: Daily pages are hashed into a Merkle root and attested once a month with EAS on Base, so an exported diary can be checked as unedited.

Assistant: A small model (for example Claude Haiku tier) writes the Sunday summary and the one thing to check, from the numbers only.

4.Cost per use and pricing

Per user per month: indexing and webhooks under $0.10 at hobby volume, heartbeat storage and functions about $0.05, one EAS attestation on Base usually well under $0.05, weekly summary with a small model about $0.01. Example: 1,000 operators cost roughly $150 to $250 a month including hosting and price API.

Free $0
Up to 2 devices, daily pages, email alerts after 30 minutes.
Operator $4 a month
Unlimited devices, 5 minute alerts by Telegram, smart plug restart, monthly seal.
Tax pack $19 a year
Yearly CSV and PDF export with valuation method and price sources, shareable with an accountant.

5.Growth loop

Every exported file and Sunday share card carries the app name. Operators share red-line screenshots in network communities; hardware resellers can bundle the app as a setup check.

6.Risks and guardrails

Tax rules: Valuation rules differ by country. The app prints its method and sources and never claims to be tax advice; the accountant chooses.

Reward volatility: Network reward rules and token prices change. Charts show history only and never forecast earnings.

Privacy: Device locations can reveal a home. Locations and bills stay offchain and private; only an anonymous root is sealed.

Heartbeat spoofing: A fake heartbeat could hide an outage. Pings are signed per device and cross checked against network data daily.

Smart plug control: Remote power cycling is opt in, limited to one action per alert, and logged.

7.Build order

  1. Add wallets and devices, read only, with Privy sign in
  2. Index rewards on Solana and Polygon with receipt-time prices
  3. Heartbeat endpoint and Telegram alerts
  4. Power cost and net per device, daily page
  5. CSV export with valuation method
  6. Monthly EAS seal on Base
  7. Sunday summary and streak

8.Where this is going

  1. Now
    One honest page for three devices on one roof.
  2. Next
    Connectors for the main home DePIN networks and smart plug brands, with fleet views for people running dozens of devices.
  3. Later
    Sealed uptime histories that make second hand hardware easier to price and sell.
  4. World
    Small operators everywhere know whether their hardware pays its way, so community networks grow on honest numbers rather than hype.

Costs and tools are estimates at the time of writing. General information only, not legal or financial advice.

Why own Node Diary

Node Diary pulls your DePIN devices' uptime, rewards and power costs into one honest dashboard with tax-ready exports. Owning it means the operators who rely on it rely on your brand, your connectors and your wallet, not a dashboard that can change pricing or disappear. Every operator you help see whether their hardware pays back becomes a customer you can serve for years.

What’s stopping you?

“I can't code.”

You do not need to. Three network connectors, uptime alerts, net earnings with power cost and CSV export come ready. You pick the networks and add your devices.

“What if a network changes its API and a connector breaks?”

It can happen, and honest dashboards say so. Show a clear "data delayed" note when a source fails, and ask DEPLOYR for a connector fix under your build. Starting with three networks keeps this manageable.

“Is the tax export real tax advice?”

No. It is a clean record of rewards and costs that an accountant or a tax tool can use. Say that plainly on your page and never promise a tax outcome.

“What if nobody pays for a dashboard?”

Free dashboards exist per network. Your value is the unified view with power costs and alerts. Start with operators running two or more networks, since they feel the pain most.

“Is it really mine?”

Yes. Your domain, your branding, your wallet. Operators connect their own device addresses read only; you never hold their rewards.

The million-dollar ladder

You earn subscriptions from DePIN operators: a low monthly fee for hobbyists with a few devices, a higher tier for fleet operators with dozens or hundreds, and a yearly export pack around tax season. Fleet tiers and installer partnerships carry most of the revenue.

  • Sell a yearly export pack in tax season to operators who do not want a subscription.
  • Partner with hardware installers who set up devices for clients and want a dashboard to hand over.
  • Add connectors for the networks your users ask for most.
  • Price fleet tiers by device count.

Illustrative stages, not a forecast. Results depend on you and the market; nothing here is guaranteed.
