DePIN+AI is driving the arrival of a new era in Bots technology.

Artificial intelligence is developing at an astonishing speed, with explosive growth in computing power, data centers, energy demand, and data procurement. However, this rapid development has also raised concerns about the excessive concentration of AI technology. To address this challenge, the combination of decentralized physical infrastructure network ( DePIN ) and AI is becoming a hot topic.

The DePIN network is expected to become the "senses" and "limbs" of AI, helping AI better perceive and interact with the real world. This combination can provide more authentic and diverse data for AI, improve capital efficiency, and create new business models.

Specifically, DePIN can assist in the development of AI in the following ways:

1. Provide more authentic and diverse data. DePIN devices can collect human operation data, synthetic data, and video learning data to assist AI in developing embodied intelligence.

2. Improve capital efficiency. Decentralized networks can distribute capital burdens, accelerate data collection and assessment, and lower development thresholds.

3. Create new business models. For example, AI agents can achieve autonomous operation through token incentives, forming an economic cycle beneficial to AI development and DePIN participants.

The DePIN market is rapidly growing, increasing from 100 projects in 2022 to 1,170 in 2024, with a market value rising from $5 billion to $50 billion. However, DePIN's share of the entire AI market remains below 0.1%, indicating significant growth potential in the future.

Recently, Grayscale has included two DePIN projects, Geodnet and Story Protocol, in its top 20 assets of interest for the second quarter, indicating a growing interest from institutional investors in this field.

With the deep integration of DePIN and AI, we are expected to see a more open and sustainable Bots technology ecosystem, driven not by a few tech giants, but by a global community working together for development.
