DePIN Gets Special Consideration 🧐

GM and happy Friday! It’s Matt, here with an eternally bullish issue of the Digest.

Helium broadcast its new $HNT buy-and-burn strategy fresh off its win at the WBA awards, leading to speculation of rapid token deflation as Helium Mobile subscriber counts approach 500,000. You can verify the token burn onchain yourself – we love transparency.

Signal stayed strong, as GEODNET was listed on Grayscale’s “Assets Under Consideration”, marking continued institutional vindication for the RKT-Correction network.

Funding calls continued from last week, as Daylight raised $75 million, and Nubila Network secured $8 million in its seed round.

The seeds of DePIN are sprouting fast!

🤝 Partnerships & Integrations

Partnerships are important. Just ask Peaq, which Dubai’s VARA recently recognized. More institutional validation this week:

 🤝 GEODNET x UTTO (Partnership)
 🤝 Hivello x Flux (Partnership)
 🤝 DoubleZero x Shelby (Partnership)
 🤝 Nubila x Weather Underground (Partnership)
 🤝 Rayvo x Oort (Partnership)
 🤝 Crust Network x Base Services Hub (Integration)|
 🤝 WeatherXM x Amazon Alexa (Integration)
 🤝 iGAM3 x AiriGO (Integration)

There’s never a dull period for DePIN integrations.

🤖 Robots Bring Home the Bacon

The robots are rising, as Auki Network makes history by controlling two robots directly with smart glasses. Silencio also made some noise, launching on-chain staking for $SLC, teasing a new data buyer, showcasing a Parasail integration, and introducing a Base mini-app. 

The AI Agent Marketplace “AIverse” and ChaosChain’s ERC-8004 trustless agent workflow launched on 0G’s platform recently, while Delysium kick-started a governance advisor agent for Solana and Ethereum-based DAOs. 

All in a week’s work for DePIN.

🛣️ Essential Infrastructure

On that subject, AWS’s outage on Monday had businesses fighting for stable operations, once again highlighting the precarious nature of centralized web services. Luckily, Flux landed a solid blow by highlighting its flawless uptime throughout and announcing support for Kaspa with 50 public nodes.

Elsewhere, Render Network RNP-021 drafted its proposal for enterprise GPUs, as USD AI explained GPU-backed credit positions. Acurast achieves over 450 million transactions,  DoubleZero adds a 100Gbps London-Frankfurt route, and World Mobile gives us the weekly recap.

Soon, widespread outages will be a thing of the past, and we can enjoy DePIN 24/7/365..
