Grass Powers Ahead in Solana's DePIN Surge

Article July 23, 2025

Grass isn't just another DePIN protocol - it's a cornerstone of AI-native, decentralized infrastructure on Solana. With staggering data scraped, smart vertical integration, and a slice of a $3M+ DePIN wave, Grass has proven it's not a follower - it's a foundational leader.

This analysis isn't hype - it's a data-backed confirmation: Grass is building the backbone of tomorrow's AI-powered internet.

A new Deep Dive: Solana DePIN - June 2025 report by Syndica reveals explosive growth in the Solana DePIN ecosystem. Here's why this matters for Grass:

1. Solana DePIN is on fire - and Grass is leading the charge

• The number of connected devices across all Solana DePIN networks has more than tripled, now at 2.3 million.

• Solana has replaced Ethereum as the go-to chain for AMM DePIN 15+ $10M market-cap projects.

• Collective DePIN on-chain revenue reached a new YTD high in June - $716K/month, totaling over $3 million in 2025.

2. Grass's data footprint is colossal

• In H1 2025, Grass scraped nearly 150 million GB of data - coming out top in the "Compute, AI & Data" category.

• That massive volume equates to hundreds of years of human brain processing compressed into real-world data - making Grass a data powerhouse fueling AI.

3. DePIN Flywheel: data drives growth - and Grass owns its role

• Syndica outlines a cycle: devices → capacity → activity → revenue → dev interest → new devices.

• Grass fits squarely into this flywheel - more data scraped means more ROI, attracting developers, integrations, and partners.

4. Grass is not noise - it's infrastructure

• In a landscape with Helium mobile, Shaga streaming, Natix mapping, and more, Grass stands out in the "Compute, AI & Data" vertical - a core pillar of global DePIN.

• Unlike apps that run on rented infrastructure, Grass is vertically integrated, with its own network­ing stack and future data centers - owning both the code and the pipes.
