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 🫡

#BTC #Altcoins I can't say I'm the first to call it the altcoin season across the network, but at least I was quite timely. After experiencing several rounds of bull and bear markets, I believe I have captured this critical transition period accurately. I hope my followers have already positioned themselves early, and that they will make a huge profit in the second half of this year. If you have any coins you need advice on, just leave a comment, and I will reply to everyone I see.

Filecoin, founded in 2014, is a peer-to-peer (P2P), open-source data storage network that uses blockchain technology to store files reliably and verifiably. Anyone needing to store their files or with storage space to spare can join and participate in the network. Consider it a cold storage, but instead of being owned by a single entity such as Google or Amazon, it is owned by everyone.
Data storage on Filecoin is entirely private; it is fully encrypted and secured, meaning no one, not even your storage provider, can read it. Additionally, Filecoin users do not need to worry about storage space because the network has a capacity of 2.5 billion gigabytes, 40 times the size of the internet.
Filecoin employs Proof of Replication (PoRep) and Proof of Spacetime (PoSt) rather than Proof of Stake (PoS). According to PoRep, miners will be compensated with FIL tokens if they can demonstrate that they received the cryptographically encoded data from the client. On the other hand, PoSt ensures that the data is kept for the time period specified in the client's contract.
Users typically pay with FIL tokens to store their files with storage providers. The price of storage on Filecoin is determined by the network's demand and supply for storage, and anyone can participate. Users are not limited to a small and defined set of storage providers but can store their files with any storage provider offering any deal available on the network. This enables users to store and access their files at extremely low prices.
Filecoin's native cryptocurrency, FIL, serves as a payment medium. Users pay FIL for storage services, and storage providers earn FIL units for staking storage space. The Filecoin blockchain immutably records FIL transactions as well as storage proofs generated by storage providers.
FIL price and tokenomics
Filecoin's ICO was one of the biggest successes in the blockchain industry, raising a total of $205.8 million. With an initial funding goal of $40 million, its initial token price was pegged at $5 when introduced into the market.
It has a maximum supply of 2 billion tokens with a market capitalization of $1.7 billion. In the fall of 2020, Filecoin organized Space Race to increase the network's data capacity by 400 pebibytes. 400 miners participated in the testnet phase and were awarded 3.5 million FIL tokens.
Filecoin is a deflationary asset with a certain amount of FIL burned with every transaction. The fees burned are sent to an irrevocable burn address to compensate for the network expenditure of resources. The idea is based on Ethereum's EIP1559.
About the founders
Juan Benet co-founded Filecoin in 2014 with the California-based company Protocol Labs, of which he is the CEO.
Benet is a Stanford University graduate with a master's degree in computer science. Before Filecoin, he was the co-founder and CTO of Loki Studios, a mobile gaming studio focused on developing location-aware games. He also founded Athena Academy, a non-profit private school in Palo Alto devoted to educating students with dyslexia.
According to official documents, Filecoin secured $205.8 million during one of the industry's largest funding rounds. The project even received backing from venture capitalists Sequoia and Andreessen Horowitz.
Filecoin highlights
First, the popular browser Brave added Filecoin to their wallet, exposing Filecoin to over 56 million Brave users. This integration helped in creating awareness among Brave users about Filecoin.
Second, instead of temporary file storage, Filecoin partnered with Lighthouse to offer their users permanent file storage within the Filecoin ecosystem, coming at a one-time cost. On Filecoin, files are removed if clients stop paying storage fees, so offering permanent file storage is essential for the most important files or irrefutable information, such as NFTs.
Next, the Filecoin Foundation recently donated $10 million worth of Filecoins (50,000 FIL tokens) to the Internet Archive after its founder joined the Filecoin Foundations board of advisors. The donation is aimed at broadening the Internet Archive's reach to help more people across the globe educate themselves.
Finally, Filecoin had a v16 network upgrade, codenamed Skyr, and switched to using the Wasm-based Filecoin Virtual Machine to operate its basic functionality. This upgrade is the first step toward enabling user programmability on Filecoin and is the network's most significant change since its launch almost two years ago.
