https://www.helius.dev/blog/a-short-introduction-to-depin - August 12, 2024 depin spans six subsectors, compute , AI , wireless , sensors , energy , and services. DePINs are categorized into two main types:

Physical Resource Networks (PRNs) Digital Resource Networks (DRNs)

https://depinscan.io/chains/solana - The most renowned Solana DePIN projects include Helium, Hivemapper and Render. Chains: Solana IoTeX Ethereum Polygon peaq

A DePIN is a decentralized application that uses tokens to incentivize people to crowdsource and build connected real-world physical infrastructure.

https://phantom.com/learn/crypto-101/depin-decentralized-physical-infrastructure-networks - The various types of DePIN networks are wireless networks (5G, WiFi, IoT), server networks (storage, VPN), sensor networks (weather, maps), and energy networks (power grids).

DePIN Track The first prize goes to Decen Space, a platform that makes makes satellite communication cheaper and easier, with an award of $25,000 in USDC.

Additional prizes went to:

Second: Crush, an app that turns everyday receipts into liquid micro-assets. Third: Home Harvest, the world’s largest ReFi community of connected growers. Fourth: Soulboard, a bridge between advertisers and ad space owners. Fifth: NovenGrid, DePIN for renewable power generation and storage nodes. University: WayFi, a decentralized WiFi network on Solana. Although they did not win any prizes, we would also like to recognize, in no particular order, the work of the following honorable mentions:
