Analyst: DePIN super cycle is coming

The DePIN sector is experiencing rapid growth as large companies like Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Cloudflare need to scale efficiently, according to a researcher who goes by the name Emperor Osmo.

“The DePIN super cycle is upon us. We are entering a golden age where Web3 projects are significantly accelerating the growth of Web 2.0 platforms. I am betting on protocols that go beyond these boundaries and kickstart the decentralized cloud revolution,” the analyst wrote.

According to Emperor Osmo, the growth of the field is facilitated by the rapid development of artificial intelligence, which he compared to the model of Internet distribution in the 90s.

The researcher is betting on the “key” DePIN projects io.net (IO) and Aethir (ATH), which should capture the majority of the market:

“As AI models become more complex, so does the demand for GPUs, creating a huge opportunity for startups that can capture this sector early and establish themselves as major suppliers [облачных сервисов]”.

DePIN’s success “will come down to network effects,” similar to the rise of traditional companies like Uber and Airbnb. Emperor Osmo highlighted several promising projects that have announced airdrops:

  • io.net (IO) – fell 50% from its all-time high in July;
  • APhone is a decentralized cloud smartphone that does not yet have a token;
  • CARV is a modular data layer for AI and gaming, does not yet have a token;
