DePIN networks have transitioned from theoretical concepts to operational realities, with IoID-registered devices growing 450% in 2025. Weekly protocol revenue surged 258% to $443,770, underscoring the sector's ability to generate verifiable income.

The focus now shifts to scalability and sustainability. By January 2026, the DePIN market cap reached $11.1 billion, though this figure excludes untokenized projects. Despite an 80% token value decline in 2025, fundamentals-driven projects like RENDER (+62% YTD), AR, and AKASH are leading the recovery.

DePIN's diversification across industries demonstrates its viability beyond speculation. The sector's trajectory suggests it's maturing into a cornerstone of decentralized infrastructure.
