DePIN’s Smooth Moves 🕺

October 10th, 2025

GM, happy Friday! It’s Matt with the post-conference issue of the Digest!

BIG moves coming out of Token2049, as 25% of Solana’s mainnet stake migrated to DoubleZero’s protocol within one week of launch.

Hivemapper also recently launched a membership-based Bee device (now with a Helium Mobile SIM card) after raising a cool $32 million. 

Meanwhile, Geodnet released its new Geo-Measure device, securing a precise spot in Hyfix’s Online Store.

Capital injection is a common theme this week, with Grass raising $10 million recently, as 375ai is doing the same, both from multiple VC partners.

🤝 Partnerships & Integrations

DePIN is all about collaboration and incentives, and more connections have been established since Singapore:

 🤝 Wingbits x DronePort Network (Partnership)
 🤝 Wingbits x CommonsFC (Partnership)
 🤝 Theta Network x Method (Partnership)
 🤝 Roam x REI Network (Partnership)
 🤝 Nosana x OGPU (Integration)
 🤝 Nubila x Autonomys (Integration)
 🤝 Telecom x ar.io Network (Integration)

Teamwork makes the dream work.

📡 Conduits, Circuitry, & Connectivity

Pinch me, because my Pipe dreams became reality with Pipe Network’s Mainnet launch. Staking $PIPE is now available through Jito’s integration, as the $PIPE token went live on Kucoin, Gate, Kraken, and Binance Wallet.

Render Network is no stranger to dreamscapes, as its GPUs power art exhibitions worldwide, most recently at SUMBERGE ARTECHOUSE and the upcoming “CYCLE RESET” in New York. Keeping culture alive, the Filecoin Foundation announced that over 1 million artifacts are now preserved on its network.

Speaking of computing, Aethir now offers dedicated NVIDIA H200 compute at $1.50/hr, Fluence launches affordable GPU compute for AI, and Flux is counting the days to its Proof of Useful Work 2.0 fork.

Datagram recently hit 1 million testnet nodes as Kaisar introduced AI Ops. Meanwhile, Theta Labs secured a patent for its Hybrid Edge-Cloud computing architecture, as USDAI structures $500 million to finance AI infrastructure for QumulusAI.

DePIN Infrastructure keeps scaling at breakneck speed, and Hivello launched a new show with DePIN Connection to accelerate further.

Speaking of scale, several DePINs were put in the palm of your hand this week:


The creativity driving them forward is the only thing more decentralized than these networks.

🗺️ Charting the Comms & Coins

 
Keeping the flywheel rolling, Wingbits reports a growing demand for its data from airlines, researchers, and AAM startups, as Onocoy keeps it on point with its new Dune Dashboard.

XNET is keeping us connected, hitting an offload ATH of 3.51 TB in a single day. Meanwhile, World Mobile reaches 2,428,000 daily users amid another AirNode Drop sellout.

Dabba Network is also reaching the masses, expanding to Mumbai’s Metro region, while Wayru goes live with its Explorer v1.

Network growth goes hand in hand with token economy, and this week’s token developments don’t disappoint: 

Coinbase’s DEX launch made tokens more accessible for US users, with $AUKI and $SLC now available for trading. Meanwhile, 375ai’s token sale is live on Coinlist this week, following their $10M funding round, while CUDIS continues building momentum with 200 SUI rings sold to date.
