Overview of DePIN Projects on Major Public Chains

With the continuous development of decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN), projects on different public chains are showing a trend of diversification. Although Solana has recently attracted much attention, some well-known DePIN projects are beginning to choose Arbitrum and Polygon as their underlying technological support. At the same time, public chains specifically aimed at DePIN, such as IoTex and Peaq, as well as L1 and L2 public chains focusing on artificial intelligence, such as Near and Aptos, are expected to continue to grow in the future.
