Cyber-Resilient Storage and Real Yield: Protocol Deep Dive | Patrick Dunlop: Jackal Labs (#50)
Can decentralized storage compete with enterprise-grade SLAs? 🧠 In this episode of The DePINed Podcast, we sit down with Patrick Dunlop, co-founder of Jackal Protocol, to explore what it takes to build a decentralized storage network that’s fast, secure, and enterprise-readyWhile most DePINs race for cheaper infrastructure, Jackal is doing something different: delivering cyber-resilient, hot storage with on-chain SLAs. Designed for both individuals and enterprises, Jackal provides encrypted storage with auto-healing, multi-node redundancy, and privacy baked into the protocol🌐 With over 1,000 users and growing, Patrick shares how Jackal is moving beyond speculation and toward real yield by targeting B2B use cases, onboarding clients through enterprise sales, and offering competitive storage solutions that can rival centralized giantsIn this episode, we cover:- The mechanics behind Jackal’s auto-healing and SLA guarantees- Why decentralized storage must evolve beyond the Web3 dev niche- What sets Jackal apart from Filecoin, Arweave, and others- The shift from inflationary tokenomics to real demand-driven yield- How Jackal plans to scale toward $100M+ revenue- Where decentralization and cybersecurity meet in storage- Patrick’s journey from digital forensics to building mission-critical infrastructure🎙️ Don’t miss this deep dive into the DePIN revolution!

DePINed is a podcast focused on the ecosystem of decentralized physical networks. DePIN companies and protocols crowdsource infrastructure such as WiFi hot spots, computer servers and even cars and, using crypto incentives, create cohesive, global networks from thousands of different providers. This podcast explores all of the use cases launching in this sector as well as the key players in financing and explaining this growing sector which will reshape a broad array of industries. Hosted by Tom Trowbridge, co-founder of Fluence, previously co-founder and president at Hedera Hashgraph.
