The Current Development Status of DePIN on Various Public Chains

With the rapid development of decentralized physical infrastructure networks ( DePIN ), various DePIN projects on different public chains are showing a diversified pattern. Although Solana is currently in the spotlight, some well-known DePIN projects have started to choose Arbitrum and Polygon as their underlying public chains. Meanwhile, public chains focusing on DePIN, such as IoTex and Peaq, as well as those heavily developing AI, like Near and Aptos, are also continuing to grow.
