DePIN Digest
August 01, 2025
GM and happy Friday! DePIN Summer is heating up as investment, adoption, and partnerships accelerate. 🏎️💨
Cooperation in DePIN – DePINergy, if you will – is crucial as projects find ever more mutual value overlap.
Notably, DePINscan recently launched staking directly on its platform for five major projects as the overall market cap of DePIN hovers around $20 billion, all while projects like ARO Network gain solid funding.
Helium Mobile’s partnerships with legacy telecoms are also paying off, gaining 155k new customers this quarter while AT&T lost 34k. 🎈
🤝 Partnerships & Integrations
Kicking off a new week means closing out the last, with DAWN announcing the rest of their Black Box partnerships (Ubitel, Spheron, and Daylight). DAWN’s not the only one shaking hands, though:
🤝 Peaq x vVvdotnet (Partnership)
🤝 Fluence x Ar.io (Partnership)
🤝 DATS x Syfu (Partnership)
🤝 DeCharge x theXtakeover (Partnership)
🤝 DIMO x Activepieces (Partnership)
🤝 DeEEP x Datagram (Partnership)
🤝 DeEEP x Beamable (Partnership)
More collaboration means more winning – Charlie Sheen would be proud!
