The Development Status of DePIN Projects on Different Public Chains

With the rapid development of decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN), major public chains are actively laying out related projects. Although Solana has received a lot of attention recently, some well-known DePIN projects have also begun to choose Arbitrum and Polygon as their underlying public chains. At the same time, DePIN-specific chains like IoTex and Peaq, as well as public chains like Near and Aptos that focus on AI development, are also continuing to grow.
