<p>We’ve already covered some exciting Solana depin projects, but there’s more. The second part of this article focuses on wireless networks, decentralized mapping, and more game-changing projects.</p> 
<h5><strong>Wireless Networks</strong></h5> 
<h6><strong>1) Helium</strong></h6> 
<p><a href="https://x.com/helium?s=21" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Helium</a> is leading with the MOBILE Network, a decentralized 5G network. It performs beyond expectations, contributing 90% of Helium’s total earnings. It has over 965 K subscribers and has transacted 27.1 TB of data.</p> 
<p>With the approval of HIP 130, Data-Only MOBILE Hotspots are now earning $MOBILE for data transfers. Helium even peaked for weekly Data Credits (DC) burned in September. This shows the growing demand for its decentralized network.</p>

<h6><strong>2) Dabba Network</strong></h6> 
<p><a href="https://x.com/dabbanetwork?s=21" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dabba Network</a> is changing India by installing low-cost, high-speed WiFi networks in uncovered areas. They assist in enhancing Internet access in areas of convenience since they have deployed 1,600 WiFi hotspots.</p> 
<p>29,000 devices connect to the WiFi hotspots. The target is to reach 150,000 local cable operators to incorporate the plan.</p> 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<h6><strong>3) DAWN</strong></h6> 
<p><a href="https://x.com/dawninternet?s=21" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DAWN</a> is all about decentralizing wireless internet services. They allow users to share internet access in regions with unavailable traditional infrastructure. DAWN provides cheap internet for under $10 a month. It also gives token holders 12% of on-chain revenue in areas where they have stakes.</p> 
<p>DAWN has already run tests with 3,000 homes in New York City, bringing in $1 million. DAWN is one to watch, with plans to cover 3 million U.S. households. They raised $18 million in a Series A round led by Dragonfly Capital and other prominent investors.</p>

<h5><strong>Mapping Networks</strong></h5> 
<h6><strong>4) Hivemapper</strong></h6> 
<p><a href="https://x.com/hivemapper?s=21" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hivemapper</a> is taking mapping to the next level by decentralizing the entire process. Drivers with dashcams collect location data as they drive and receive $HONEY tokens as payment.</p> 
<p>With help from over 150,000 drivers, they’ve charted 15.7 million kilometers, which covers 26% of Earth’s surface. Think about turning your daily drive into a way to help map the world—Hivemapper makes this happen.</p> 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> 
 <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Check out our new map interfaces! We’ve said goodbye to hexes and introduced two dynamic maps on the Hivemapper website: the Network Coverage Map and Home Map</p>

<h5><strong>Problems Facing Solana DePIN Projects</strong></h5> 
<p>Here are a few fundamental issues Solana DePIN projects need to solve:</p> 
<ul> 
 <li><strong>Keeping Up with Token Rewards: </strong>Keeping users interested in token rewards can be costly, leading to money waste if not handled well.</li> 
 <li><strong style="color: var(--td_text_color, #111111); font-family: var(--td_default_google_font_2, 'Roboto', sans-serif); font-size: 16px;">Community Overexcitement: </strong>Getting the community involved matters, but too much excitement can backfire, leading to expectations that they can’t meet.</li> 
 <li><strong style="color: var(--td_text_color, #111111); font-family: var(--td_default_google_font_2, 'Roboto', sans-serif); font-size: 16px;">Legal regulations: </strong>DePIN projects have to work with rules like any other decentralized initiative.</li> 
</ul> 
<p><strong>Looking Ahead</strong></p> 
<p>The Breakpoint 2024 conference will take place in Singapore on September 21ST, focusing on Solana. The event promises to be essential in shaping the future of DePIN on Solana.</p> 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> 
 <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Breakpoint debate: This house believes that DePIN is overhyped and capital inefficient.</p>

<h5><strong>Conclusion</strong></h5> 
<p>Solana DePIN projects are leading the way forward. These projects solve real-world problems using decentralized infrastructure, from wireless networks to decentralized mapping. However, while there’s plenty of excitement around the space, these projects must navigate challenges and compete with other platforms.</p>
