There’s a growing pattern around infrastructure that connects the physical world, data, and compute. A few tokens stand out in this narrative, not because of hype, but because of what they enable.
What I’m noticing across the market
$FLT ( @Fluence ) : Decentralized compute is quietly becoming a core Web3 primitive. Fluence fits right into the DePIN + AI infra crossover by turning global compute (including GPUs) into an open, permissionless network. As apps move beyond theory into real workloads, who owns execution starts to matter.
$GRASS :Grass highlights a subtle but important idea: unused resources matter. By turning idle bandwidth into a data layer for AI, it shows how everyday infrastructure can be monetized without centralized middlemen. This feels like an early signal of how DePIN can scale quietly, from the edges.
$DENT :DENT is another reminder that Web3 infrastructure doesn’t always look flashy. Decentralized mobile data markets might not trend daily, but they address a real inefficiency: fragmented global connectivity. It’s DePIN in its most practical form.
$IOTA : IOTA continues to lean into machine-to-machine communication and real-world data integrity. As IoT and autonomous systems grow, trustless data transfer becomes foundational, not optional.
What makes Fluence interesting is how it sits between these narratives.
Grass decentralizes data acquisition
DENT decentralizes connectivity
IOTA focuses on trusted machine data
@Fluence decentralizes compute itself the layer all of these ultimately rely on. Instead of centralized cloud providers owning execution, Fluence aggregates global compute (including GPUs) into a permissionless, decentralized network. That makes it a natural backbone for:
AI workloads fed by Grass-style data layers
Edge and DePIN apps that need flexible compute
Systems where uptime, cost efficiency, and censorship resistance actually matter
That is how real networks are built.
