Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) is a blockchain-based ecosystem focused on distributing and decentralizing traditional physical infrastructure services, improving security, scalability and efficiency.
Helium Wireless
Wireless DePIN projects, such as Helium, focus on gaining a share of connectivity services from large network providers. Helium operates a multi-token system in which each token in the ecosystem serves a specific purpose in providing network resources and rewarding providers. The HNT token is used by users to obtain connectivity services, while the MOBILE token powers the Helium 5G project. Owners of the 5G access point bundle provide network coverage and earn MOBILE. The market capitalization is $570,872,072.
Hivemapper
Hivemapper is a decentralized physical infrastructure network that uses DVRs and artificial intelligence to collect the world’s freshest mapping data for developers and enterprise customers. Tens of thousands of people around the world contribute by crowdsourcing images from DVRs or completing tasks to help train artificial intelligence. Participants receive HONEY tokens for doing useful work, and developers use HONEY tokens to utilize the data and create products for customers, keeping the supply and demand of mapping data in balance.
The market capitalization is $147,151,640.
Dimo Mobility
DIMO stands for Digital Infrastructure for Moving Objects. It is a mobility project focused on data management for car owners and manufacturing companies. Services under its management include a dedicated vehicle identification system through NFT, vehicle data availability and other information that allows car owners to make more informed decisions. Car owners can download the DIMO app and be rewarded in DIMO tokens by providing this data.
It has a market capitalization of $31,347,746.
Healthblocks
Apps like Healthblocks reward users for providing certain health–related information to allow healthcare companies and employees to make progress. Users can also connect their fitness devices to the app to track their fitness goals. Users are rewarded with Health tokens for completing a task or providing data.
The project has been under beta testing and is scheduled to be launched this summer.
Arkreen
Arkreen, a decentralized green energy project, encourages green energy providers to submit data about their power plants. The data that can be provided includes the capacity of their solar power installation and other such data. Demand for such an application from renewable energy certificate (REC) issuers and green computing operators who access power data and build applications and services based on that data.
The project was launched in February and is still evolving.
Filecoin
Filecoin is currently one of the largest DePIN projects by market capitalization, which is $2,287,662,652. Developed by Protocol Labs, this project provides decentralized cloud storage solutions.
Filecoin allows users to buy and sell digital storage in a secure, transparent and efficient way. The storage provider can be any user in their network. FIL is the Filecoin ecosystem’s proprietary currency. By renting storage you can earn FIL tokens.
Filecoin uses proof of space-time (PoSt) and proof of replication (PoRep) to ensure security. These mechanisms ensure the security of stored files.
NuNet Computing
Nunet is an artificial intelligence-based computing resource marketplace. It is claimed to promote a resource-efficient atmosphere for companies by making idle computing resources available to everyone. Computing resource providers are rewarded in NTX tokens for contributing to the market. Companies and individuals can borrow available computing capacity and pay a fee.
The market capitalization is $27,880,197.
Theta Network
Theta is an EVM-compliant network; it consists of a blockchain network and an edge network. The blockchain division of Theta handles financial transfers and smart contracts, while the Edge Network handles storage and delivery of media assets. Bandwidth providers are rewarded in THETA tokens, and bandwidth can be shared on mobile devices, PCs and other devices.
The market capitalization is $1,450,081,728
Render Network
The Render Network is a distributed rendering platform that leverages the necessary power of the GPU. This project, founded in 2017, helps users create high-quality 3D content.
It gathers GPU resources from its ecosystem and distributes them across the network. GPU suppliers receive a rendering token (RNDR) in exchange for their supply. Cost-efficiency and low power consumption allow the Render Network to become a building block for future digital products in the meta-universe.
It has a market capitalization of $2,756,167,073.
