GM, happy Friday! Matt here, bringing you the turkey-day recap, DePIN style.

We’re thankful for Black Friday specials (and we know you are too), like the ones on Silencio’s merch store, where 100% of profits go to charity. 

Render launched a store as well, as WeatherXM slashes its hardware prices by up to 40%.

Now that you have the appetizers in the form of delicious deals, here’s the main course:

DoubleZero is now running 40% of Solana’s mainnet stake, up from 30% last month. On the subject of mainnets and tokens, YOM announced its TGE for December 9th with a focus on utility, as World Mobile’s $WMTX gets listed on Coinbase.

Processing all these wins, Aethir has delivered more than 27 million compute hours; the equivalent of 3,130 NVIDIA H100 GPUs at full load.

📊 Big Wins and Bigger Incentives 

DePIN keeps on winning, with Beamable taking home three awards at the GAM3 Awards and Peaq upgrading its app. Grass kept it grassroots by hosting its first community call, and Pipe has a new Stats site in the pipeline. And while you wait for yield from PinLink’s new yield engine, you can read DAWN’s survey on global internet connection methods.

There are also plenty of incentives on the table this week: 

📡 Radars and Robots

Dabba added 14,000 new connections and now ranks in the top 5 in the DePIN Pulse revenue leaderboard for pre-TGE projects. What’s even cooler is that they’re using that revenue to help scale the industry by hosting ambassador-led masterclasses on DePIN deployment.

They’re not alone: Wayru is donating 1,000 Prometheus Miners. World Mobile also hit consecutive 1,300 days online as Qualoo showcased its QoE platform and Nodle revamped its Portal dashboard. 

A big week for XMAQUINA, which finalized its equity deal in Agility Robotics and revealed its DAO Contributor Leaderboard. Over the Reality announced its contribution to open source Computer Vision research, while DecentralGPT launched a suite of upgrades for its models. 

💭 Teamwork Makes the Dream Work


As Render was nominated for Best DePIN project at the BeInCrypto Awards and u2u added new projects to their roster from the VietBUIDL Hackathon, others were making moves to collaborate: 

🤝 Acurast x Sacred Protocol - Content tipping
 🤝 AiMoNetwork x CUDOS -  ASI:Accelerator program
 🤝 Decen Space x PHINIX Orbital Systems - Space communications LOI
 🤝 DeNetPro x Reactive Network - Storage client
 🤝 Arweave x Amadeus Protocol - Permanent memory for AI agents
 🤝 ROVR x Zelos Tech - Autonomous vehicle data
 🤝 WeatherXM x Zeus - AI weather forecasting
 🤝 DecentralGPT x Binance Wallet - dApp integration

🗺️ Mapping The Growing DePIN Landscape

DoubleZero introduced a Contributor Mode and added 10 Gbps from StakingFac to its Madrid-Strasbourg routes, while Filecoin introduced its Mondai AI Blueprint for all your storage needs. Alternatively, you could use DeNet, which announced a new Storage Client of its own. We also saw ar.io release its Gateway upgrade, while Titan published a case study on its PCDN integration and RunOnFlux teased some upcoming developments. 

A huge week for Streamr, which released Node v103.1.2 with a Polygon RPC fix while simultaneously launching Beta for its video calls and an Operator visualizer tool. 

Finding your way in DePIN and IRL has never been easier Teneo reached 81.6B real-time data signals. It’s also rewarding, with ROVR completing its data sale and token burn, and Onocoy introducing High Value Areas with reward bonuses. 

Daylight teased its distributed energy developments, as WeatherXM and Zeus AI collaborated on weather-related DePIN dealings.
