5. Resource Normalization Layer

Purpose:

Transforms and unifies diverse data models, pricing units, and service descriptions into a common schema.

Responsibilities:

• Convert service units: e.g., Filecoin’s "FIL per GiB/month" → "$/GB/day".

• Standardize performance metrics: latency, throughput, uptime, location.

• Harmonize capabilities: one DePIN might report "storage tier 1", another "SLA:99.9%"—both become “high-availability storage”.

• Convert token-denominated prices into fiat or common stablecoin reference.

Output:

• Uniform service catalog (like AWS pricing page but DePIN-native).

• Enables fair comparison across providers.

Example Normalizations:

Field	Raw Source (DePIN)	Normalized Output
Cost	0.01 FIL/GB	$0.002/GB
Availability	n/a	99.5% Uptime (via oracle)
Location	Node#1223	Frankfurt, Germany
Token Support	FIL	Converted to USDC
