DePIN and XYO Domains Go Live—Powering a $18.8B Market with the First DePIN OS

DePIN and XYO just dropped their domain launches—and they’re aiming to become the backbone of a $18.8B decentralized physical infrastructure network. No more middleware, no more rent-seeking platforms—just a full-stack operating system for real-world data.

The play? Cut out the legacy gatekeepers. These domains anchor what could be the first truly scalable DePIN OS—think Ethereum for physical infrastructure, minus the VC baggage. Early adopters are already staking claims, betting on a future where sensor networks and IoT devices run on-chain.

Of course, Wall Street will call it ’niche’—right up until they start dumping pension funds into it.
