The current development status of DePIN projects on major public chains

With the continuous development of the decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) field, major public chains are actively laying out related projects. Although Solana has recently attracted a lot of attention, some well-known DePIN projects have also started to choose Arbitrum and Polygon as their underlying technological support. Meanwhile, public chains focused on DePIN like IoTex and Peaq, as well as L1 and L2 public chains like Near and Aptos that are vigorously developing AI technology, are also expected to continue maintaining growth momentum in the future.
