What’s new in DePIN this week
DePIN’s total market cap cooled to $17.9B amid volatility, while Aethir secured a $344M treasury commitment to scale decentralized GPU infrastructure. Helium hit record user counts and data offload. IoTeX launched the Real‑World AI Foundry to advance DePIN data/AI standards — and Hivemapper raised $32M while unveiling a new $19/month Bee Membership.
Hivemapper: $19/month Bee Membership
Hivemapper raised $32M to expand its AI‑powered global map and introduced the Bee Membership at $19/month (instead of paying $589 upfront). The plan bundles the Bee LTE AI Dashcam, a Helium Mobile connection, and full access to the Beekeeper fleet platform.
Availability: U.S. only for now. Learn more at beemaps.com/bee. The membership runs for 24 months, billed monthly, with a 1‑year warranty. Devices ship pre‑linked to your Beekeeper account and are ready out of the box. Early cancellation isn’t supported; after 24 months, it auto‑renews unless canceled before renewal.
