> **Visual Note:** A futuristic promotional graphic for VANGRID showcases a smartphone displaying "Contribute to a larger map" floating above a glowing global network of interconnected nodes, with bold text declaring "NO HARDWARE. JUST PEOPLE." Key statistics highlight "3B+ POTENTIAL NODES" and "<100K HARDWARE COMPETITORS," directly reinforcing the caption's message about VANGRID's hardware-free DePIN model that removes the upfront cost barrier limiting traditional decentralized networks' growth.  

> 
> "Something about 
@vangrid_io
 model that not enough people are talking about.

Most DePIN projects have a real problem: for the network to grow, users have to go buy hardware first.

A device, a sensor, something with an upfront cost. Growth ends up tied to how many people are"

PTC is not $VAN.
@vangrid_io
’s current protocol docs call PTC a non monetary measure of contribution and rank, and explicitly say points do not convert into $VAN.

For your information points and money are not the same thing on 
@vangrid_io
 because PTC on the Hub measures contribution and rank and it is not a currency and the docs do not promise a conversion into $VAN. Bounty payouts are separate and settle when a requester"
