The winning crypto narratives have centered around bringing digital financial assets on-chain (e.g. equities, options, credit cards, AI privacy). Naturally, I believe another narrative will come back into focus: rewarding users for bringing physical infrastructure on-chain. The DePIN sector was once crypto's darling, and while the sector has seen a structural decline, growing demand for robotics, drones, and physical AI infrastructure could bring renewed mindshare to the category. Within this theme, solana:7JA5eZdCzztSfQbJvS8aVVxMFfd81Rs9VvwnocV1mKHu could be the protocol that revitalizes DePIN. It rewards users for deploying RTK base stations, which provide correction data for satellite positioning signals. This allows drones, robotics, and autonomous vehicles to pinpoint their location and operate with centimeter-level accuracy rather than meter-level. Geodnet also checks the boxes of being both revenue-generating and value-accruing. It has been the second-highest revenue-generating DePIN protocol the past 30 days, with ~$10.6M ARR (10.5x FDV/R), ~80% of revenue going toward buybacks, and weekly issuance offset by burns increasing from 37% to 95%+ YoY. It has deployed 21,700+ base stations across 170+ countries, with the United States representing its largest market, where the buildout of physical AI infrastructure should continue to accelerate. This is not a recommendation to full-port, but if you believe in the exponential growth story of drones, robotics, autonomous vehicles, etc., that DePIN can once again become the “cool tech” powering this growth, and that investors will further prioritize traceable fundamentals and value accruing to tokenholders, it is worth paying attention to in case it catches on.
