Home Improvement, DePIN-Style 🔨

GM, it’s Friday once again. Matt here, bringing you the latest and greatest in DePIN updates.

Before we kick things off, our site recently got some upgrades, including a glossary of industry terms along with a beginner’s section to help onboard newcomers. Check it out and let us know what you think.

Alright, let’s rock!

This week, Geodnet hit high marks, fast approaching $7M annual recurring revenue, while Hivemapper’s $HONEY entered a deflationary period with more tokens burned than emitted.

Nosana also reached a money milestone, crossing $2M in total network earnings as the pivot to decentralized AI compute pans out.

Even more bullish is Nubila Network’s announcement that its Marco Miners are now available at Home Depot stores across the US.

All in a week’s work for DePIN, as networks build out through clear and cloudy skies alike.

🤝 Making Friends

Building also extends to relationships, and this week brought some intriguing integrations:

 🤝 Acurast x peaq - Multichain ACU token
 🤝 Flux x Uquid - Decentralized Web3 shopping
 🤝 Hivello x Naoris - Quantum-resistance
 🤝 Tashi x ALTAVA - AI fashion-tech
 🤝 onocoy x NeuraLoc - AI-driven GPS integrity
 🤝 LayerDrone x Orbital Beam collective - Airspace infrastructure

Not only that, but November’s recaps hit hard:

 📋 peaq November monthly report
 📋 Dynex November recap
 📋 Crust Network November monthly report
 📋 NodeOps Monthly Recap
 📋 Anyone Protocol November recap

The beauty of DePIN is that anyone can get involved.

🤖 Robots Storm The Capitol

It’s also been a great week for robotics, with Capitol Hill eyeing the emerging tech for US investment and amplification. iG3 stepped up with its first deployment of a commercial Robot, VyVy, while livestreaming. Meanwhile, XMAQUINA’s community hotly debated a new investment proposal with BOT-08.

Bot brains take the form of AI, and the heat was turned up with distributed AI systems. IoTeX’s achievements in Real-World AI stood as a core case study for Messari in their recent AI report, as AIOZ Network launched an AI road detection challenge, while Silencio crossed the 1 million Voice AI measurements milestone.

But wait, there’s more. DecentralGPT kicked off an all-in-one AI workspace, CUDOS’ ASI:Cloud got fresh with Hermes 4 70B, Gradient did some digging with distributed RL research, and Ionet pushed day-0 DeepSeek-V3.2 support. 

0G Labs also reopened its Guild program with funding and dev support for decentralized AI apps, so keep your eyes peeled for more AI updates. The month is far from over, and Delysium’s December roadmap is looking great as its Lucy AI agent launches. 

With 2025 so packed with innovation, we’re excited to see what 2026 has in store for DePIN.

💎 Tokens & Incentives

Speaking of store, let’s talk tokens. 375ai launched $EAT staking, Beamable did the same for its staking rewards, and ROVR burns reached an all-time high. This and more:

 💎 Glif - GLIF+ program w/DePIN rewards
 💎 U2U - $1,000 ambassador program
 💎 ar.io - $ARIO now on Base
 💎 Beamable - Checker Node rewards
 💎 DeNet - Storage Client tasks
 💎 Shaga - Gamenet for Windows Node
 💎 Wayru - DePIN Staking Beta

📡 Sticking To The Signal

DePIN telecoms continued their rapid expansion, with Dabba Network taking the lead as the network hit a milestone of 12,500 TB consumed, ran a $150k simulated burn in November, and teased Loot Boxes ahead of TGE.

Karrier One amplified its new eSIMs, going live among other improvements; Chirp gave us a Flight Log for updates and documentation, and Helium hosted the Builders Bootcamp in San Francisco.

The infrastructure of DePIN itself also got some upgrades this week, as 0G’s Mainnet received KuCoin Web3 wallet support, Filecoin integrated Akave’s O3 v1.3.0 and launched Warm Storage Services, and Tashi tapped into one-click nodes.

DoubleZero continues connecting the world, adding 400 Gbps with new Europe/Asia routes, and NodeOps gave its community a dashboard for its native $NODE token.

Mapping it all out, Onocoy launched Tokyo as an HVA zone, and NATIX announced it’ll feature at the Solana Conference in Abu Dhabi.
