In 2026, DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) will become a core growth point in the Web3 industry, alongside AI and RWA as the three hottest tracks. Institutions predict that the DePIN market size will exceed $20 billion. The DePIN network incentivizes global users to contribute physical infrastructure (such as computing power devices, storage nodes, and sensors) to build a decentralized network for computing power, storage, and data. However, its development faces pain points such as 'lack of funding, poor asset liquidity, and high thresholds for investor participation'—the deployment of devices requires significant upfront investment, which individual users find difficult to bear; the returns from nodes are dispersed across different networks, making unified management challenging; and ordinary investors lack low-threshold channels to participate in the construction of the DePIN network. The USD1 stablecoin and ListaDAO's DePIN network asset RWA plan will tokenize the rights to the income from distributed infrastructure, allowing investments from as low as 100 USD1, with an annual return of 10%-15%, while supporting flexible exits, thereby providing an innovative path for ordinary investors to participate in DePIN dividends.
The rise of the DePIN network is a combination of the 'Web3 decentralization concept + demand from the real economy.' With the development of industries such as AI and the metaverse, the demand for computing power and storage continues to explode, while traditional centralized infrastructures face issues like single points of failure, high costs, and data security risks; the DePIN network integrates globally idle physical resources into efficient, low-cost infrastructure via a decentralized architecture. For example, distributed computing networks can provide low-cost computing power for AI training, while distributed storage networks can replace traditional cloud storage services. Currently, the DePIN network has covered multiple fields including computing power, storage, IoT, and energy, with the number of nodes in core projects exceeding one million, forming a large-scale physical infrastructure network.
However, the development of the DePIN network faces three major bottlenecks: first, a shortage of funds for node deployment; the cost of deploying a DePIN node device (such as a computing server or storage miner) can reach several thousand dollars, making it difficult for individual users to participate on a large scale, which restricts the speed of network expansion; second, poor asset liquidity, as the ownership and income rights of node devices are bound together, investors need to hold them long-term to obtain stable returns, making it impossible to realize quickly; third, inefficient profit management, as node income is distributed in native tokens of different networks, the exchange process is cumbersome, and there are risks of exchange rate fluctuations. The USD1 DePIN network asset RWA solution perfectly addresses these issues, and its core logic is the tokenization of infrastructure income rights.
ListaDAO collaborates with DePIN network project parties to tokenize the future income rights of node devices (such as computing power rental income, storage service fees, network incentive token sharing) through blockchain technology, generating DePIN RWA; investors use USD1 to purchase RWA to provide funding for node deployment; the income generated by the nodes is automatically settled in USD1 to the investor's account, achieving 'investment to enjoy returns, without needing to participate in device deployment and management.' For DePIN project parties, this provides low-cost financing and accelerates network expansion; for device deployers, RWA financing alleviates the pressure of upfront investment; for investors, they do not need to bear risks of device maintenance or network operation, and can obtain returns solely through income rights, with low thresholds and high return potential.
USD1's advantages as the core carrier of DePIN network asset RWA are reflected in three aspects: first, value stability and risk hedging; the native tokens of the DePIN network are highly volatile, and when node income is distributed in native tokens, it faces exchange rate risks. The characteristic of USD1 being pegged to the dollar ensures the value stability of investor returns, avoiding the erosion of returns by token volatility; second, income aggregation and unified management, allowing investors to aggregate returns from different DePIN networks through USD1 RWA without having to switch between multiple networks, simplifying the income management process; third, flexible exit and liquidity support; DePIN RWA supports T+1 trading for liquidity, solving the problem of poor liquidity of node devices, allowing investors to exit at any time according to market conditions, locking in returns or avoiding risks.
ListaDAO's 'USD1 DePIN network asset RWA solution' covers three core DePIN networks and launches differentiated investment strategies.
Strategy one: Distributed computing network RWA (stable type, annual return 10%-12%), with the underlying assets being node devices of the distributed computing network (such as GPU servers, ASIC miners), and income coming from computing power rental income, AI training service fees, and network incentive sharing. The demand for these assets is stable; the shortage of computing power in the AI industry provides a continuous source of income for distributed computing networks. For example, a certain distributed computing network has 1000 GPU server nodes, with each node's annual computing power rental income being 1000 USD1, splitting the future three-year income rights of these nodes into 3 million RWA tokens, each valued at 1 USD1; an investor invests 1000 USD1 to purchase 1000 tokens and can obtain an annual income of 100-120 USD1, with income settled monthly, providing stable cash flow; at the same time, the platform and the project party agree that if node income falls below expectations, the project party will make up the difference to ensure stable returns for investors.
Strategy two: Distributed storage network RWA (balanced type, annual return 12%-14%), with the underlying assets being node devices of the distributed storage network, and income coming from storage service fees, data retrieval fees, and network incentive sharing. With the explosive growth of data volume, storage demand continues to rise, and the market space for distributed storage networks is vast. For example, a certain distributed storage network's node devices provide cloud storage services to users, with an annual service fee of 100 USD1 per TB of storage, and a single node device can provide 100TB of storage, generating an annual income of 10,000 USD1; splitting the future five-year income rights of 10 node devices into 500,000 RWA tokens, each valued at 10 USD1; an investor invests 1000 USD1 to purchase 100 tokens, and can obtain an annual income of 120-140 USD1; at the same time, the residual value of the node devices serves as an additional safeguard, with disposal income distributed to investors after five years, further enhancing overall returns.
Strategy three: Distributed IoT network RWA (aggressive type, annual return 14%-15%), with the underlying assets being sensor nodes of the distributed IoT network, and income coming from data collection service fees, device access fees, and network incentive sharing. These assets benefit from the development of the IoT industry, with a wide range of application scenarios (such as smart cities, environmental monitoring, industrial IoT), and have great growth potential. For example, a sensor node in a certain distributed IoT network can collect environmental data (temperature, humidity, air quality) to provide data services to enterprises, with an annual income of 500 USD1 per sensor; splitting the future four-year income rights of 1000 sensors into 2 million RWA tokens, each valued at 1 USD1; an investor invests 1000 USD1 to purchase 1000 tokens, and can obtain an annual income of 140-150 USD1; the AI system monitors the operating status and data collection volume of the sensors in real-time, dynamically adjusting the RWA valuation to ensure asset transparency and controllability.
In terms of security and compliance guarantees, ListaDAO has established a 'triple protection system.' First, asset authenticity assurance, all DePIN node devices are physically verified and valued by third-party organizations, and IoT devices monitor device operating status and income data in real-time, which can be verified on-chain at any time, ensuring a 1:1 correspondence between RWA and physical assets; second, a risk control mechanism, setting aside a 15% risk reserve to cover risks such as device failure or network operation not meeting expectations; the AI system monitors market dynamics and technological progress of the DePIN network in real-time, automatically triggering alerts to remind investors to adjust their portfolios when the network faces risks such as technological iteration or intensified competition; third, compliance architecture design, DePIN RWA is compliant with global anti-money laundering (AML) and securities regulatory requirements through compliant issuance via Hong Kong SPV, allowing investors to obtain compliance investment certificates for convenient tax reporting; at the same time, the platform regularly discloses node device operation reports and income distribution details to ensure transparency of information.
By 2026, the DePIN network will become the core infrastructure of the Web3 industry, with its core value being 'reconstructing physical infrastructure in a decentralized manner to reduce societal operating costs.' USD1, with the support of ListaDAO, through the DePIN network asset RWA solution, addresses the financing pain points of DePIN project parties while providing ordinary investors with the opportunity to participate in DePIN dividends at a low threshold, achieving a win-win situation for industrial development and wealth appreciation. For investors, this solution requires no professional knowledge and no participation in device deployment or management, allowing them to share in the growth dividends of distributed infrastructure and obtain considerable returns within a compliance framework; for the DePIN industry, this solution accelerates network expansion and promotes the popularization of decentralized infrastructure, providing solid support for the development of the digital economy. As the DePIN network continues to grow, USD1 DePIN RWA is expected to become a core category of Web3 wealth management, attracting more funds into this emerging track.#USD1理财最佳策略ListaDAO $LISTA @ListaDAO
