Exploring the Potential of DEPIN in Web3
In the rapidly evolving landscape of Web3, DEPIN, or Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks, is gaining significant attention. This innovative concept leverages the principles of decentralization to transform fragmented resources into valuable services. Amira Valliani, head of DEPIN at the Solana Foundation, emphasizes that DEPIN enables individuals to contribute their idle resources, such as WiFi bandwidth or data collection capabilities, to create a collaborative infrastructure. Projects like HiveMapper and Helium exemplify this model, allowing users to earn tokens by sharing their resources, thereby democratizing access to essential services that were previously dominated by large corporations. The relationship between DEPIN and artificial intelligence (AI) is particularly noteworthy. As AI technology continues to advance, the demand for real-world data is skyrocketing. DEPIN serves as a vital data collection network that can provide the necessary information for AI applications, such as self-driving cars and delivery robots. By utilizing decentralized networks, DEPIN can gather data more efficiently and cost-effectively than traditional methods. This synergy between DEPIN and AI not only enhances the capabilities of AI systems but also opens new avenues for decentralized AI projects, challenging the dominance of major tech companies. Looking ahead, Valliani predicts that DEPIN could evolve into a trillion-dollar industry, driven by the maturation of development tools, the increasing demand for real-world data due to AI advancements, and the influx of practical entrepreneurs into the Web3 space. As DEPIN lowers the barriers to entry for individuals to participate in infrastructure development, it creates new job opportunities and empowers ordinary people to engage in the digital economy.

Helium (HNT) Shows Signs of Bullish Trend Amid Market Volatility
Helium (HNT) has recently shown signs of a potential bullish trend, despite experiencing a retracement of nearly 24% from its local high of $4.5. On April 12, HNT broke through a significant resistance level at $3.4, suggesting an end to the downtrend that had persisted since the end of January. This bullish structure indicates that Helium bulls are attempting to establish an upward trajectory, although the market remains sensitive to broader cryptocurrency movements, particularly those of Bitcoin (BTC). Currently, HNT is facing crucial support levels at $3 and $2.25, which could come into play due to two primary factors. First, the volatility surrounding Bitcoin poses a risk; if BTC falls below $83k, it could trigger widespread selling across the market, negatively impacting HNT. Secondly, the buying pressure for HNT has not been overwhelming, as indicated by the On-Balance Volume (OBV), which has struggled to surpass its February highs. A sustained uptrend in the OBV could signal a stronger rally for Helium in the near future. On the 4-hour chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates a slowdown in momentum over the past week, with the price action revealing resistance at the bearish breaker block around $3.7. As of now, HNT is trading near the 50% retracement level, with the potential to bounce back above $3.7, contingent on increased buying pressure. However, if Bitcoin drops below $83k, the short-term outlook for Helium could turn bearish, prompting traders to consider selling opportunities targeting a retracement to the $2.75-$3 range.
