The Development Status of DePIN on Mainstream Public Chains

With the continuous development of the distributed physical infrastructure network ( DePIN ) field, some well-known projects have started to choose Arbitrum and Polygon as the underlying public chains. Meanwhile, public chains focusing on DePIN such as IoTex, Peaq, and those emphasizing AI development such as Near and Aptos are also experiencing sustained growth. Let's take a look at the development of DePIN projects on major public chains.
