Revenue Records & Robot Battles 🤖

GM, happy revenue report Friday! Solana-based DePINs earned $1.6 million in August, a 60% increase from July. 

DePIN is going mainstream, as Dormagen deploys Helium IoT for its smart city infrastructure in Germany.

We’re also bullish on Bullish, which put up $4 million in USDAI’s first post-IPO investment. Speaking of investments, XMAQUINA is hosting a community call before its final token genesis auction, following the securement of yet another robotics equity position.

Need more FOMO? Wingbits announced a partnership with Korean Air’s R&D Center ahead of its TGE launch, and Aethir teased some big things.

🤝 Partnerships & Integrations

Big bonds beginning, as XNET taps ReformDAO for its boutique and transparent market making services, while Wingbits found a wingman in Dabba Network. 

Combinder coined ‘plug & earn’ with Craftstrom, and xFractrals brings additional alpha to the table with Spheron’s GPUs. But wait, there’s more:

🤝 ROVR x LazAI (Partnership)
🤝 AYDO x Loteraa (Partnership)
🤝 Roam x exSat Network (Partnership)
🤝 Titan Network x Cloudfare (Partnership)
🤝 Prime Ledger x Conduit OS (Partnership)
🤝 RAYVO x BitRobot Network (Partnership)
🤝 Datagram x Numbers Protocol (Partnership)
🤝 Acurast x Beambable Network (Partnership)

Now that’s DePINergy!

📱 The DePIN Connection

Wireless DePINs turned up the volume as Acurast reached 130,000+ phones onboarded, and ANyONe Network hit 20,000 registered relays after announcing a new dashboard upgrade (now with staking). DAWN also incorporated Privy into its Chrome Extension.

Community is everything, showcased by World Mobile’s AirNode sale, which sold out in under 60 seconds as the network hit one all-time high after another. Elsewhere, Roam started its eSIM launchpad with a bang.

Akash Network introduced decentralized training while announcing a new proposal, AEP-76, and Ar.io released a case study on combining iExec’s confidential computing with its network. Hypercycle gave us a sneak peek of their node, and kudos to CUDOS for bringing the ASI Cloud Platform online. 

All this news would be hard to calculate without Render Network’s new support for NVIDIA’s 50 series Blackwell GPUs.
