Piggycell plugs into ICP HUBS network to supercharge global blockchain expansion

Piggycell, the Web3-native platform turning everyday charging stations into blockchain-powered earning hubs, has announced a major strategic boost: full support from the ICP HUBS Network.

With a user base of 3.5 million and 100,000 devices already deployed, Piggycell is set to accelerate its decentralized mission globally, starting with South Korea.

At the core of this expansion is Piggycell’s integration of Internet Computer’s blockchain technology—specifically its decentralized canisters and “Reverse Gas” model—into its portable power bank network.

These tools enable the platform to handle large-scale transactions while offering users reward points that can be exchanged for Internet Computer-based PGC tokens.

“This is a major leap for Piggycell. The Internet Computer's unique features, including the 'Reverse Gas' model and powerful canister smart contracts, make it exceptionally well-suited for managing our large-scale transaction loads efficiently,” said John Lee, Founder of Piggycell.

“With support from ICP HUBS Network, we're becoming one of the key applications within the ICP ecosystem while maintaining a seamless user experience.”

Piggycell’s tech-driven expansion is already taking shape in South Korea, where distribution agreements have been signed with heavyweights like Yanolja and Ediya Coffee, Korea's largest coffee chain.

The move is expected to significantly increase the company’s physical footprint and demonstrate the real-world potential of decentralized physical infrastructure.

The platform’s architecture rejects traditional, centralized data storage in favor of blockchain-based canisters.

This ensures user reward activities—such as point accumulation and token exchanges—are managed transparently and securely via smart contracts.

With a closed beta test (CBT) and phased partner rollout planned throughout Q2 and Q3, Piggycell is positioning itself as a cornerstone of the DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) movement, where Web3 meets tangible utility.
