DePIN Data Layer AIOZ Pin Pushes to Keep Web3 Files Permanently Online
short The IPFS AIOZ Pin-based distributed data layer allows anyone with spare disk space and bandwidth to run a community-managed node. AIOZ Pin copies data as multiple, independent, partitioned copies, addressed as one or more content identifiers (CIDs). Dedicated gateway infrastructure allows developers to retrieve IPFS content faster and more reliably from crowded public gateways, while network replication enables slowdowns to be handled during outages or periods of high demand. One of the biggest challenges facing the Internet is ensuring that old content stays online. Study conducted by the Pew Research Center in 2024 Found 38% of web pages that…
5 DePIN Projects Transforming Real World Activities into Crypto Infrastructure in 2026
Jakarta, Pinto News – Decentralized physical infrastructure networks (Demin) is a class of cryptocurrency projects that combine blockchain technology with real-world physical activities, such as wireless networks, data, and maps, to create a decentralized operational infrastructure. Participants’ contributions of real hardware, sensors or data are rewarded with tokens, so participants act not only as investors but also as active network providers. These DePIN projects show how cryptocurrencies are not just speculative assets, but are also integrated with real-world utilities that have the potential to boost broader scope. Web3 Ecosystem. 1.

5 DePIN projects turning real-world activity into infrastructure
Decentralized Physical Infrastructure (DePIN) networks are built from real activity rather than centrally owned assets. Contributors deploy devices, move across cities, or collect environmental data, creating a shared infrastructure that organizations and machines can use. Within DePIN, a growing category focuses on real-world intelligence, data that helps systems operate outside controlled environments. These projects do not all solve the same problem. Some provide accessibility, others provide metrics, and some aim to provide the context that makes the infrastructure usable. Here’s how five leading DePIN projects compare. 1. Helium: Decentralized wireless coverage Helium is one of the most established DePIN networks,…
DePIN startups raise $1B, generate $72M in onchain revenue in 2025
Messari has dropped its State of DePIN 2025 report, and it draws attention to the maturation of the sector as it has shifted from speculative experiments towards infrastructure businesses that generate real revenues. According to the report, by the end of fiscal year 2025, the entire DePIN sector, worth $10 billion, generated an estimated $72 million in on-chain revenue. Source: Al-Masari According to Massari, these revenues recorded at the protocol level come from real network usage, fees and incentives, all factors that indicate that the sector is providing real benefit and is no longer stuck in a speculative or experimental…
DePIN Explained: Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks
For a long time, physical infrastructure such as Internet access, energy, transportation, and sensor networks have been owned and controlled by large, centralized organizations. While this made economies of scale possible, it also led to problems such as high costs, lack of transparency, and slow innovation. It is at this point that decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) come into play. DePIN refers to the combination of blockchain technology and physical infrastructure, allowing communities, individuals and organizations to work together to develop and manage physical infrastructure. Rather than being controlled by a central organization, DePIN networks compensate members for contributing real-world…
