MasterPay Group fuels DePIN revolution with investment in OKZOO

MasterPay Group invests in OKZOO to accelerate DePIN adoption, integrating AI, IoT, and blockchain for a health-focused, decentralized data ecosystem.

MasterPay Group, a dominant force in the financial technology sector, has announced a strategic investment into OKZOO, a pioneering company at the forefront of the Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) revolution. This significant investment is poised to accelerate the advancement of DePIN technology, particularly through the innovative integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) on the blockchain, and to facilitate OKZOO’s ambitious expansion into the health tech sector.

OKZOO’s DePIN innovation: A fusion of data, rewards, and AI

OKZOO’s groundbreaking framework is engineered to empower smart devices for high-quality data collection. By blending AI and IoT capabilities within a robust blockchain environment, OKZOO is cultivating a global network where users can seamlessly deploy hardware, gather high-quality real-world data, and receive direct peer-to-peer rewards for their contributions. This decentralized approach to data collection creates a robust and verifiable data stream, which is essential for developing powerful AI applications.

The initial product from this vision is the P-mini o1, a device specifically designed for users to monitor and collect critical environmental data. Its capabilities include tracking air quality, measuring noise pollution, and detecting CO2 concentrations, all contributing to a healthier and more sustainable global environment.

OKZOO’s success is validated by impressive foundational metrics: an engaged community of 11.8 million ecosystem users, over 400,000 on-chain holders reflecting strong investor confidence, and more than 60,000 pre-orders for the P-mini device. The company’s Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) surpassed $1.5 billion on August 18, 2025, a clear indicator of its rapid growth and market recognition.

MasterPay’s financial integration: Building a value-driven ecosystem

As an established leader in unifying disparate financial systems, MasterPay Group is backed by a consortium including Mastercard, DBS, and Bank Negara Malaysia. MasterPay will integrate its seamless payment solutions into the AIOT ecosystem, a move designed to unlock immediate and significant utility. This fundamentally shifts the paradigm from a purely data-driven ecosystem to a value-driven one, where rewards and frictionless transactions reinforce the network’s growth. By providing this robust economic layer, MasterPay will accelerate the adoption of AIOT solutions.

Strategic expansion into the health tech frontier

This investment marks a pivotal moment for OKZOO’s expansion into the Health Tech domain, aligning with the company’s vision to foster an improved world through DePIN that encompasses both environmental and public health. The planned development of a “super app,” coupled with innovative health tech devices, will empower users to actively monitor and collect both environmental and personal health data. This dual focus is expected to significantly accelerate global DePIN adoption by demonstrating the profound real-world impact of decentralized infrastructure.

A multi-layered technical architecture

This collaborative vision is built upon a multi-layered architecture:

Layer 0 – Physical Layer: DePIN hardware, including the P-mini and AIOT Watch, ensures trustworthy data collection.

Layer 1 – Connectivity and Settlement: An efficient blockchain network handles billions of transactions and integrates payment solutions, while eSIM aggregators provide low-cost global connectivity.

Layer 2 – AI Intelligence: An AI health assistant provides personalized analysis, and a decentralized data marketplace allows users to securely authorize their data to earn AIOT.

Layer 3 – Application and Ecosystem Entrance: The Super App serves as the core user interface for data, AI services, and asset management.

MasterPay Group’s strategic investment signifies OKZOO’s transition from a startup-style project into a financial-grade platform, validated by capital, compliance, and international markets. Together, they are paving the way for a more informed, healthier, and technologically advanced future.
