Summary

Forecast Trend Report by Period

Blockchain research and infrastructure firm Four Pillars said on November 12 that it will join DEP Protocol as a genesis validator through its validator operations brand, FP Validated.

DEP Protocol is an Avalanche-based Layer 1 blockchain developed by Digital Entertainment Asset, a Japanese Web3 company. It offers technology that analyzes smartphone usage patterns to verify whether online activity was carried out by a real person. The system works without biometric data or additional hardware, and the original behavioral data is not transmitted outside the user's device.

DEP Protocol began mainnet operations in July, and its genesis validator set is limited to 24 operators. Four Pillars plans to begin operating a validation node using its own infrastructure later this month.
