The top 3 DePIN protocols just crossed $50M in annualized revenue according to @ournetwork__ research. While this may seem small, this is huge in the grand scheme of things. Beyond '$50M', this is proof of: 🔹 Actual adoption 🔹 Scaled infrastructure deployment + accessible with monetization Real-world demand can be met by web3 innovation, where this performance represents feasibility in production. The movement to DeAI is likely to be slow at the beginning since it’s a radical shift from the centralized, hyperscaler-dominated world. That said, in my opinion, DePIN itself will naturally present its case as more realize the 'gravity of implications from 'centralized AI'. The idea was essentially to solve these core frictions: 🔸 Reduced capex by letting individuals deploy hardware (e.g., Helium, Filecoin, etc.) 🔸 Aggregated capacity from fragmented resources (e.g., storage, solar, sensors) 🔸 Permissionless innovation on physical infrastructure like APIs, networks, or utilities 🔸 Composability where infrastructure can be built like modular 'legos' to speed up innovation These key traits will naturally serve as GTMs for DeAI in time to come as it slowly overcomes demand + monetization concerns. Much higher from here 🫡
