DePIN+AI: Building a New Paradigm for Decentralization in the AI Era with Bots

Recently, the concept of DePIN Bots has sparked widespread discussion in the industry. This article will analyze the opportunities and challenges of DePIN+AI in the field of robotics.

The current development of AI is rapid, with a significant increase in computing power, bandwidth, energy, and data demand. However, people are also beginning to worry that AI may be controlled by a few large companies, leading to technological centralization. In response to this challenge, DePIN+AI( can be referred to as DePAI).

DePAI is expected to promote AI Decentralization in the following ways:

1. Provide more authentic and diverse data DePIN devices can help AI interact with the real world, obtaining real-time authentic data, thus developing true embodied intelligence. Future DePAI data may include: human operation data, synthetic data, and video learning data.

2. Improve capital efficiency The DePIN network can decentralize capital burdens, allowing small teams to participate in technology development. At the same time, it accelerates data collection and evaluation, improving efficiency and reducing costs.

3. Improve business efficiency DePIN-driven intelligent Bots can achieve self-sustainability through token incentives, forming a positive economic cycle.

The overall share of DePIN currently accounts for only 0.1% of the AI market, with huge growth potential. Although the number of financing rounds in Q1 2025 decreased to 36, the total amount reached 159 million USD, indicating that mature projects are expanding their scale.

The Grayscale Q2 report added attention to the DePIN project Geodnet, optimistic about its application prospects in positioning data. In the past 30 days, Helium's mobile and IoT networks performed excellently in the revenue rankings of DePIN projects.

In terms of industry dynamics, projects like Roam and Phoenix are actively laying out plans in the DePIN+AI field. The Helium network's data has seen significant growth, indicating its disruptive potential in the telecommunications industry.

Overall, DePIN+AI is rapidly developing and is expected to drive robotics technology towards a more open and sustainable ecosystem. Future development will require not only algorithm innovation but also hardware upgrades, data accumulation, funding support, and wide participation.
