<p>The<a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/bitcoin-surges-with-record-capital-influx-bitwises-bold-prediction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> influx of capital</a> allows the emergence of ambitious new players. These startups are positioning themselves to directly compete with established heavyweights such as Filecoin, Helium, or The Graph. Their application areas are varied: decentralized gaming infrastructure, data layers for AI, or even robotics.</p>
<p>However, the path to profitability remains fraught with challenges. Despite investor exuberance, revenue growth in the DePIN sector is slow to take off. The four most profitable projects rank among the top eight in terms of valuation, highlighting a gap between expectations and market reality.</p>
<p>Centralized platforms currently retain the advantage, thanks to more comprehensive and proven solutions. The <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/crypto-the-secrets-of-a-successful-depin-network/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">secret to success</a> for DePIN projects will be to turn their technological promises into viable products that are widely adopted.</p>
