The DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) narrative is trending, but few investors delve deeper. @ourcryptotalk on Twitter released a tier list ranking projects based on tangible outcomes: real-world hardware, revenue, and network growth. Discover the standout projects.
DePIN is a movement aimed at building and maintaining real-world infrastructure (data storage, wireless networks, computing power) in a decentralized manner.
Instead of relying on centralized giants like Amazon Web Services, DePIN is powered by a global community of individuals who share their resources in exchange for cryptocurrency rewards. It’s the sharing economy at the scale of the blockchain.
The tier list separates the wheat from the chaff. Less than 20% of DePIN projects show sustainable revenue and node growth. Here are the ones that dominate the rankings.
Just behind the leaders, we find very solid projects like Helium ($HNT, 8.8/10), which is disrupting telecoms with its IoT and 5G network, and The Graph ($GRT, 8.6/10), the “Google of Web3” that indexes data from over 90 blockchains. Other names like Akash ($AKT) and Aethir ($ATH) also stand out in the cloud and GPU computing space.
This analysis, based on concrete data, reminds us of an essential lesson: in DePIN, what matters is not the narrative, but the reality of hardware and adoption. A crucial reminder for any investor looking to bet on the next wave of crypto innovation.
Take advantage of the last few days to earn $90 in BTC when you purchase a Ledger wallet! It’s the perfect opportunity to finally secure your cryptos and invest in the best DePIN projects with confidence:
