📄️ Categorization
There are many ways to categorize DePINs. We focus on the demand-side service provided by each network, since we believe that to be the primary determinant of scale over a sufficiently-long time horizon. Projects can change categories over time as their demand-side focus shifts.
📄️ Non-Core Categories
Beyond the eight core DePIN categories, we track four DePIN-adjacent categories.
📄️ Key Metrics
We track the following underlying metrics for each project.
📄️ Transparency
Every datapoint on DePIN.Ninja can be traced back to onchain data (via Dune queries) or offchain data (via project APIs). Offchain metrics are flagged as “unverified” given the lack of auditability. Onchain queries are publicly-accessible and often need to be adjusted following protocol changes. If you believe a data feed is outdated or incorrect, please suggest an update.
