ShareX is a Web3 infrastructure project for the sharing economy that aims to connect shared and unattended devices, their usage data, and related cash flows to blockchain networks. It combines the Deshare Protocol, which is intended to provide a verifiable device and settlement layer, with real-world asset (RWA) and consumer-facing services. ShareX’s stated goal is to help existing sharing businesses connect their devices to Web3 while bringing users into on-chain activity through familiar rental and service experiences.[1][2]
Deshare is ShareX’s device-identity and settlement infrastructure. The protocol is intended to connect sharing-service terminals and their usage to blockchain while allowing operators to retain their existing business systems. ShareX’s documentation describes an integration of Internet of Things (IoT) terminals, cryptocurrency payments, and RWA services; the project says it has connected devices in cities including Tokyo, New York, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Dubai, and Melbourne.[2]
A March 2026 account of the protocol describes Deshare 2.0 as assigning each shared device a cryptographically signed identity. When a customer rents a device, it can generate a Proof of Physical Work (PoPW) record intended to attest to an outcome in the physical world—for example, a power bank providing charge for a stated duration and at a stated location. According to that account, device identity, event proof, and payment confirmation form an evidence chain used by smart contracts for revenue splitting, incentives, and dispute resolution.[5]
The account says that Deshare records a verifiable minimum on-chain rather than placing every operational log there, while sensitive details remain off-chain. It also describes the system as allowing brands to retain their backends while producing auditable rental records.[5]
ShareX’s Deshare Toolkit is designed to connect existing sharing devices to Web3. It provides interfaces for device binding, standardized event reporting, and payment reconciliation, so an operator can integrate its fleet with the protocol while continuing to use its existing operations and branding.[1][5]
The Deshare Suite is intended for brands launching new Web3-native hardware or sharing networks. ShareX describes it as a hardware and software suite for new entrants; a March 2026 account characterizes it as a set of pre-packaged solutions that lets operators launch branded networks using ShareX infrastructure.[1][5]
ShareX uses the name ShareFi for its proposed financial layer for the sharing economy. The project argues that shared devices can produce recurring cash flows and that verifiable usage and payment records can support consumer-oriented RWA products. Its stated plans include using RWA and PayFi services to help circulate value generated by shared assets, while giving consumers access to services and potential returns and helping brands access cash flow and develop their business models.[2]
TreasureX is described as a user-acquisition and rewards product that connects offline terminals and Web2 traffic with on-chain activity. A March 2026 account describes its cycle as device rental, PoPW proof, settlement, and loyalty incentives; it reported a $1 million reward pool for TreasureX Season 2.[5]
PowerPass is described as a consumer application through which users can participate in revenue associated with particular hardware clusters. BingX gave vending machines in Singapore as an example of a cluster available through the application.[4]
The Deshare Alliance is ShareX’s initiative to connect sharing-economy businesses with the Deshare Protocol and Web3 services. Its stated goal is to onboard 100 global brands and collaborate with blockchain networks and service providers. The alliance explores business models involving RWA, PayFi, and offline marketing.[6][1]
A May 2026 article reported that more than 20 brands had joined the alliance, including PowerNow and YoPoint, across multiple countries and equipment categories.[4] The alliance identifies partner activity in shared power banks, vending machines, charging stations, bikes, lockers, scooters, phone-case printers, and shared hashrate.[6]
Named partners include PowerNow, a shared-charging operator founded in 2019 that reports deploying more than 50,000 charging stations and providing more than one million power banks; YoPoint, which operates unmanned vending machines in more than 120 countries; and LitaPower, a shared-power-bank manufacturer whose products serve clients in more than 100 countries and regions. The alliance also identifies MyGreenPlus, which operates a reverse-vending-machine network for household-waste recycling in Malaysia, and Power Qube, a shared-power-bank brand in the United States.[6]
ShareX has described PowerNow and PowerPass as sample networks in which users rent devices, earn points, and receive on-chain rewards.[5] ShareX’s account on X identifies the project as part of MVB 10 and, in October 2026, described its goal as building a consumer network that makes shared access reliable, available, easy to use, and easy to trust.[7]
ShareX identifies SHARE as its coordination and utility token. Described uses include paying for services in partner applications, accessing infrastructure features and RWA projects, earning incentives, and voting on community proposals and platform upgrades.[3] BingX also describes uses that include rental payments, staking by users and operators, governance votes on hardware categories and ecosystem grants, and rewards for user activity and device uptime. It says some rental transactions may use gasless payments through account abstraction.[4]
BingX gives SHARE a fixed total supply of 100 million tokens and reports this allocation: 20% for mining rewards to device operators and hardware participants; 20% for ecosystem development and integrations; 20% for a Treasure and Reserve allocation, with vesting of up to 96 months; 15% for community and marketing; 20% for investors and the team, subject to a 12-month cliff and 24-month linear vesting; and 5% for early liquidity, unlocked at the token-generation event (TGE).[4] CoinMarketCap’s October 2026 overview likewise reports a 100 million total supply and says most tokens are allocated to ecosystem development under multi-year vesting schedules.[3]
A community airdrop launched on May 8, 2026. BingX reports that eligibility was based on a May 5 snapshot and included PowerPass holders, holders of ShareX Keys (Rare Series), and active participants in TreasureX Season 1.[4]
In May 2026, BingX reported that ShareX’s footprint covered 22 countries and that more than 540,000 devices had been shipped.[4] ShareX’s documentation names vending machines, shared power banks, and kiosks among the devices connected to its network, while the alliance lists a broader range of shared equipment.[2][6]
ShareX frames its approach as a shift from ownership-first consumption toward access to shared assets. Its stated ambition is to make sharing services function as consumer infrastructure by connecting real-world usage with settlement and incentives, rather than requiring customers to change their ordinary rental behavior.[7][5]
