Discover the top DePIN projects transforming crypto infrastructure — and how you can profit from them this bull run.
The crypto bull run is here, and one sector quickly gaining attention is DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks). If you’re new to the term, think of DePIN as blockchain projects that power real-world infrastructure — like internet, energy, or data storage — while rewarding people who contribute to the network. Instead of just trading tokens, you can earn by supporting the actual systems these projects run on. For seasoned crypto users, DePIN represents one of the strongest narratives of this cycle, combining utility, scalability, and community-driven growth. In this article, we’ll dive into some of the most promising DePIN apps that give you a chance to earn during the bull market.

1.) Grass on Solana — Monetize Your Unused Internet Bandwidth
Grass Network is a decentralized web scraping protocol built on Solana that lets you earn passive income just by sharing your unused internet bandwidth. It connects everyday users like us with AI labs and retailers, helping train transparent AI models while rewarding contributors. Back in December 2023, Grass raised $4.5 million in seed funding led by Polychain Capital and Tribe Capital, which shows just how much potential this project has.
What’s even better? Grass recently rolled out a mobile app you can download right now, making it easier than ever to earn straight from your phone. I’ve personally made thousands just by running the browser extension in the background, and with the mobile app now live, it feels like the project’s biggest upgrade yet. If you’re looking for a simple way to earn during this bull run, Grass is definitely worth a try.

2.) Hivello — Making DePIN Easy for Everyone
Hivello is a Netherlands-based DePIN project that makes it super simple to earn from decentralized networks. Instead of dealing with complicated setups or needing tech skills, all you have to do is install the Hivello app on your computer — whether it’s Windows, macOS, or Linux — and let it run. Behind the scenes, it puts your idle computing power to work across different DePIN projects, and in return, you earn rewards.
Launched in public beta in October 2024, Hivello is quickly becoming one of the easiest ways for beginners (and even crypto pros who want a hassle-free option) to get into the DePIN movement. It’s basically passive income at the click of a button.

3.) Jambo Earn — Turn Quests Into Crypto Rewards
Jambo Earn takes a fun, gamified approach to earning crypto. Instead of just staking or running software in the background, you complete simple quests — like engaging with content, answering surveys, or testing out new apps — and get rewarded with tokens. It feels less like “work” and more like playing a game where every task brings you closer to earning.
I tried a few quests myself, and they were surprisingly quick and easy — plus, it’s pretty satisfying to see the tokens add up after just a little effort. What I like about Jambo is how accessible it is: you don’t need special hardware or deep crypto knowledge. Just hop in, do the quests, and start stacking rewards in your free time.

4.) Pi Network — Mine Cryptocurrency on Mobile
Pi Network makes crypto mining as simple as tapping a button. Unlike traditional mining that sucks up electricity and demands pricey hardware, Pi lets you earn coins directly from your mobile device — without draining your battery. It’s so user-friendly that it invites anyone to join the crypto wave.
Open the app once a day, tap the button, and you’re earning. I’ve tried it myself, and seriously, it’s one of the most effortless ways to get into crypto. Now that Pi has fully launched its mainnet, it’s grown beyond just an “earn-as-you-go” app — it’s a legit token you can trade.
The $PI Token is currently available on several reputable centralized exchanges, including OKX, Gate.io, and MEXC, where you can trade $PI against $USDT or other stablecoins.

5.) Fabric — OpenMind
Billions have been poured into robotics, but every machine is still an island. OpenMind is here to change that. With $20M in fresh funding led by Pantera Capital, they’re building the decentralized software layer that lets robots talk, share knowledge, and collaborate — just like Android did for smartphones.
Powered by OM1 (a universal AI-native operating system) and FABRIC (a decentralized coordination network), OpenMind is laying down the infrastructure for a global machine economy. Imagine robots verifying identity, coordinating tasks, and exchanging value — without human intervention.
Early movers always win in crypto. International manufacturers are already on board, and now’s your chance to get in before the wave. Join the waitlist today to secure your spot in the network that could power the next trillion-dollar robotics revolution.

ME ID is Meta Earth’s decentralized identity system that puts you in full control of your digital identity. Instead of giving away your personal data to centralized platforms, you own it on-chain — and can choose what to share, when, and with whom.
Each ME ID comes with staked MEC tokens that generate daily passive rewards, so just holding your ID helps you earn. With over 1 million users already signed up, ME ID is quickly becoming the go-to Web3 passport for identity, rewards, and ecosystem access.

7.) Pointless Program — Fluence Network
Web3 is full of reward programs that pop up and disappear, but Fluence’s Pointless Program instantly stood out to me — because it doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not.
Instead of another “farm-and-dump” points scheme, Fluence flipped the script. They literally called it Pointless to poke fun at empty point-chasing, yet it’s ironically one of the smartest and most community-driven reward systems I’ve seen in crypto.

Conclusion
The truth is, crypto isn’t just about charts and trading anymore. It’s about being part of something bigger — networks that grow because real people like us use them, not just big players. Apps like Fabric, Grass, and ME ID (to name a few) are showing that anyone can get started, no tech background needed. You don’t need to mine with expensive rigs or trade 24/7. You just need to show up, tap a button, or complete simple tasks — and you’re in.
Early adopters have always been rewarded the most in crypto. If you’ve been waiting for the “right time,” this is it. Everyday actions are turning into income streams, and it’s only just starting.
