- IPTP Networks co-founds DeCenter Foundation to develop decentralised AI infrastructure, combining real-world data centres and DePIN architecture.
- DeCenter aims to improve AI transparency, reduce latency, and expand access through community-led infrastructure and consensus-based governance models.
- With operations in 37 countries, IPTP brings enterprise-grade infrastructure and GPU services to support scalable AI computing environments globally.
Global telecoms and infrastructure provider IPTP Networks has announced a strategic expansion into decentralised computing by co-founding the DeCenter Foundation. The move signals a shift in focus from traditional infrastructure services to next-generation platforms that support AI and blockchain workloads.
With nearly three decades of operational experience and a presence in 37 countries, IPTP Networks is leveraging its global backbone to help build the foundations of more transparent and accessible digital systems. The company’s new initiative comes at a time when both AI and blockchain are facing structural challenges, from system centralisation to scalability and ethical accountability.

Building a distributed ecosystem for AI infrastructure
The DeCenter Foundation has been created to address long-standing inefficiencies in AI deployment, particularly the heavy reliance on centralised data centres and opaque processing environments. By combining distributed physical infrastructure (RWA data centres) with the DePIN model, DeCenter aims to deliver scalable, low-latency computing designed for AI workloads.
Its mission is underpinned by several key principles:
- A transparent AI ecosystem built on real infrastructure and community ownership
- A hybrid model to reduce latency and enhance performance
- Integration of consensus mechanisms and decentralised governance
- Strong emphasis on accessibility and ethical operation
“We believe that the future of AI must be built on a platform that is verifiable, shareable, and validated by the community. DeCenter Foundation is the first step – starting from Asia.” – Vladimir Kangin, Founder & CEO, IPTP Networks
“We believe AI must be verifiable and open to community validation. DeCenter is our first step in enabling that vision, starting in Asia,” said Vladimir Kangin, Founder and CEO of IPTP Networks.

Expanding infrastructure to meet future demand
IPTP’s existing platform is well-positioned to support DeCenter’s ambitions. With 77 data centres, over 220 Points of Presence, and compliance with ISO and PCI DSS standards, the company brings serious infrastructure depth to the table.
Its services include GPU-as-a-Service, ultra-low latency systems optimised for high-performance computing, and seamless connectivity through major global internet exchanges. This foundation supports the scalability and reliability required by decentralised cloud platforms.
The launch of the DeCenter Foundation represents a notable shift for IPTP Networks as it embraces a more collaborative model for infrastructure development. It reflects the company’s commitment to a future in which AI computing is not only more efficient, but also more inclusive, ethical and community-driven.
