Datagram is a **Global Hyper-Fabric Network** designed to power the next generation of real-time connectivity applications and **Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN)**. These applications rely on real-world resources like compute, bandwidth, and storage. Datagram makes it easy to launch and scale such applications and networks without the need to build complex infrastructure.

The platform rewards **Datagram Node Operators** in two primary ways:

1. **Uptime & Availability:** Operators who keep their nodes online and responsive earn rewards. This ensures the network remains stable and reliable.
2. **Actual Usage:** Nodes that actively contribute resources (compute, bandwidth, etc.) to support real-time applications are rewarded based on their level of contribution.

Datagram is designed to serve three core user segments:

* **Web2 & Web3 Businesses:** Traditional enterprises and blockchain-based projects can access Datagram’s decentralized services through simple APIs or SDKs - no deep blockchain knowledge required.
* **Existing DePIN Networks:** Projects with established node infrastructure can integrate with Datagram via the **Datagram Core Substrate (DCS)** to expand their access to more bandwidth, computing, and storage capacity.
* **New DePIN Projects:** Startups or developers can launch decentralized networks rapidly using Datagram’s turnkey, ready-to-use infrastructure.<br>
