DePIN+AI: Creating a New Era of Decentralization Bots

Recently, the combination of DePIN and AI has attracted widespread attention in the industry. This integration is called DePAI and is expected to drive AI technology towards a more decentralized direction.

The DePIN network can become the "five senses" and "limbs" of AI, helping AI to better perceive and interact with the real world. This not only allows AI to obtain more authentic and diverse data but also improves capital efficiency, lowers development barriers, and enables more participants to join in.

The current DePIN market size has reached $50 billion, but it still only accounts for 0.1% of the AI market, indicating significant growth potential in the future. In the first quarter of this year, DePIN financing remained flat year-on-year, but the number of financing rounds decreased, suggesting that the industry is gradually maturing.

Grayscale's latest quarterly report highlights RWA, DePIN, and IP tokenization, adding two new DePIN projects, Geodnet and Story Protocol, to its watchlist. This reflects the growing attention of institutional investors towards the DePIN sector.

In terms of application, projects like Roam and Phoenix are actively exploring the combination of DePIN and AI. Leading projects such as Helium are also continuously expanding their business boundaries to support the development of Web3 telecommunications networks.

Looking ahead, DePIN is expected to assist AI in achieving more efficient commercialization and to promote robotics technology towards an open and shared ecosystem. This integration will not only accelerate the development of AI but may also reshape the entire technological ecosystem.
