Dune Review: DePIN Adoption on Solana – Part 2

This is the second part of the article on Solana DePIN activity; here is the first part.

Following the energy from the Solana Crossroads event in Istanbul, it’s clear that DePIN is becoming one of the most exciting areas of crypto growth. Developers are utilizing blockchain technology to create infrastructure. This includes wireless networks, AI, and computing power.

3) The Render Network

If you’re into animation, film, or AI-generated content, you’ll want to watch Render Network. They’re building a decentralized platform that allows 3D creators and AI developers to tap into global GPU power, without relying on big centralized servers.

Compute is the new oil, bottlenecked by GPU scarcity. Enter @RenderNetwork — connecting idle consumer GPUs into a decentralized compute network.

Here’s what’s happening on-chain:

• Peak revenue hit $300,000 per week.
• Users have burned over 121 million RNDR tokens, showing strong usage.
• It integrates with industry tools like Blender, Arnold, and Redshift.
• Contributing nodes have earned more than 2.4 million RNDR tokens as rewards.

In short, Render is turning idle GPU power into creative fuel—and it’s paying off.

4) Nosana

Nosana is taking AI further by decentralizing the processing of AI tasks, known as inference. Instead of sending everything to a cloud giant like AWS, Nosana lets node operators do the heavy lifting. Big things are happening:

• Mainnet officially launched in January 2025.
• Daily active nodes have more than doubled, now at 600+
• The total number of nodes is over 4,200.

Nosana is global, with nodes running in over 60 countries

And the community behind it reaches even more places!

As AI continues to grow, platforms like Nosana are demonstrating how DePIN can meet that demand in a more open and community-driven manner.

5) UpRock

Do you have a smartphone, tablet, or laptop lying around? UpRock wants to turn it into a revenue stream. They focus on mobile-first DePIN, where users share bandwidth and computing power in exchange for crypto rewards. Here’s the scoop:

• Users earn over $1,500 in weekly revenue.
• Focused on bandwidth and compute sharing, especially for mobile devices.
• It uses on-chain buybacks to fuel contributor rewards.

We’re building things that don’t just scale UpRock.
We’re building things that move DePIN forward.
That bring millions more into @solana‘s real-world economy.

That’s not just a goal —
It’s a responsibility.

The bigger we grow, the louder we have to speak for the DePIN movement.… pic.twitter.com/R3pKYXIXJc

UpRock offers passive income powered by your devices, and the traction is growing.

Conclusion 

Solana’s DePIN ecosystem is gaining serious momentum. From 3D rendering to AI processing and passive mobile income, these projects show that crypto isn’t just about trading—it’s about building fundamental tools people use.
