Messari’s 2024 State of DePIN, co-authored by Dylan Bane and Salvador Gala, highlights DePIN’s early-stage growth, with a market cap of $50 billion across 350 tokens, trading at 100x ARR. Over 13 million devices actively contribute to these networks daily. The report points to the "Chain Wars" where Solana leads in infrastructure and Base excels in consumer applications.
