The technological sector is undergoing a true revolution thanks to the merger of artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies. The main focus has shifted to the DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) sector, which offers a solution to one of the biggest problems of modernity — the shortage and high cost of computing power. In an era when the demand for neural network training is growing exponentially, centralized cloud giants become a bottleneck for innovation due to their monopoly and censorship.
The use of decentralized networks allows AI developers to access GPU power worldwide at a significantly lower cost. This creates direct economic value for the tokens that serve these networks. Users who rent out their equipment are rewarded, while companies receive the necessary resources. This partnership between hardware and cryptographic protocols makes projects like Render and Fetch.ai key players in the new cycle.
The main concern for investors in 2026 is the complexity of technology. Many find it difficult to understand the difference between yet another meme coin named 'AI' and a real technological protocol. We analyzed fundamental indicators of network usage, data processing volumes, and partnerships with hardware manufacturers. The results show that the real sector of the economy is beginning to integrate into blockchain through the needs of AI. This is not just speculative hype, but the formation of a new infrastructure where computing power becomes the new oil of the digital world. Those who can spot these infrastructure projects at an early stage will win before they become part of every institutional portfolio.
