The top 3 DePIN protocols just crossed $50M in annualised revenue according to @ournetwork__ research. While this may seem smol, this is huge in the grand scheme of things. Beyond '$50M', this is proof of: 🔹 Actual adoption 🔹 Scaled infra deployment + accessible with monetisation Real-world demand can be met by web3 innovation, where these 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 centralised, hyperscaler-dominated world. That said, imo DePIN itself will naturally presents its case as more realise the 'gravity of implications from 'centralised AI'. The idea was essentially to solve these core friction: 🔸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 infra 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 + monetisation concerns. Much higher from here 🫡
