DePIN is the one and only path that scales Physical AI. Physical AI will eventually be first Quadrillion Dollar market. It will be the first multi-planetary market too. Agentic AI will look like child's play by comparison. This will be obvious by end of 2025.
“AI agents are a multi-trillion dollar opportunity.” — Jensen Huang, Nvidia CEO

Drove the downtown San Francisco route that @Hivemapper shared using the new @GEODNET_ GEO-PULSE device. Results below (green line). GEO-PULSE:.✅Tall buildings .✅Parking garages, tunnels.✅< 10cm clear sky accuracy.✅Consistent and repeatable datum . 🛰Launching next week!
The Hivemapper positioning and sensor fusion team are incredibly talented folks from Stanford and Google. They are the brains behind the incredible work being done here:. Yellow - Bee without RTK .Green - Device + RTK. If you know talented folks in this space, we are growing

Thank you @0xMarcB ! The @GEODNET_ community is working together to provide a global and affordable high-precision location service for killer new and classic apps like #agriculture and #construction.
Amazing to see that @GEODNET_ now has 4,500 miners. When digging into Geodnet, you realize the amazing use cases that it opens up and growth it is seeing. It really open up the design space for DePin, and I love seeing them on Polygon!.

Nice to see @GEODNET_ !. Revenue wise project in first baby steps— maybe 0.01% of the EXISTING RTK market (ag, construction, drones) so far and the big NEW markets (auto, mobile, IoT) are just starting to go RTK. #DePIN is uniquely well-suited for geo-spatial projects … 🚀.

Drones *should* broadcast Remote ID on 2.4G. Big ones on ADS-B at 1090M. They will be reliably tracked by @wingbits and the dual @wingbits + @GEODNET_ stations 🔥🔥. But rogue drones may not broadcast . Will #DePIN need a network of all-sky cameras ?? Any other ideas?? 🤔.
NEW: NewsNation reporter says his entire view of the New Jersey drones has changed after he witnessed 50 of them flying from the ocean. The drones are reportedly 8-10 feet wide and can’t be detected because they don’t give off heat. “I gotta be honest here. You know when this

@MeijeSibbel @DAnconia_Crypto @GEODNET_ does not do this. All burned tokens are acquired on open market. This mean vast majority being burned are being acquired from station hosts at this point in project life. Also @GEODNET_ foundation does NOT awards itself tokens for “running” the project.

Fantastic … great to see @GEODNET_ starting being used more and more by professional surveyors.
@thegristleking @disk_91 We were seeing horizontal error of 0.02 feet which is about a 1/4 inch. This, while the rover was under tree cover. This is actually incredibly good. Usually it takes forever to get resolution when the Rover is under tree canopy.
