The Hivemapper Foundation has recently formed a strategic partnership with Kamino and Jito Labs to launch the HONEY-JitoSOL liquidity treasury incentive plan. This initiative comes at a time when many investors in the cryptocurrency market are still engaged in zero-sum games, while decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) are paving new avenues for value creation. The rapid advancement of Web3 technology is facilitating a deep integration of DePIN and decentralized finance (DeFi), which is reshaping the blockchain industry’s landscape. This integration promises to enhance the liquidity of physical assets and foster substantial innovation across the blockchain ecosystem.
Hivemapper, a decentralized mapping network operating on the Solana blockchain, has made significant strides since its inception in November 2022, mapping 29% of the world’s roads within two years. Utilizing innovative “Bee” dashcam devices and AI technology, Hivemapper captures over 28 million kilometers of street-level imagery monthly, outpacing Google Street View by five times. The project has garnered investments from notable institutions, including A16Z and Binance, and has established partnerships with global mapping giants. The HONEY token incentivizes user participation in data collection, addressing challenges in developing high-precision maps through a unique AI+DePIN model.
The newly launched liquidity solution on the Orca trading platform offers up to $17,000 in rewards for HONEY token liquidity providers. It features automated transaction fee income, smart rebalancing, and professional analysis tools to help users navigate risks. The market response has been overwhelmingly positive, with the HONEY-JITOSOL liquidity pool achieving a Boosted APY of 36.02% and a total value locked (TVL) exceeding $500,000 shortly after launch. This innovative cooperation not only highlights the potential of integrating DePIN with DeFi but also sets a precedent for future developments in the blockchain space, demonstrating how decentralized finance can empower the real economy and create new opportunities for users.

IoTeX Launches Quicksilver Beta and Expands AI InfrastructureIn June 2025, IoTeX launched a beta interface for Quicksilver, a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) framework that allows AI agents to interact with data from connected devices. This interface enables developers to create and deploy AI agents, while users can query these agents through chat or API. On June 19, IoTeX implemented a significant upgrade (v2.2.0) that reduced block time from 5 seconds to 2.5 seconds, enhancing the network's theoretical throughput to 2,000 transactions per second (TPS). Additionally, IoTeX introduced a roadmap for Realms, which aims to create domain-specific ecosystems that group AI agents and contributors to facilitate structured intelligence across various sectors such as transportation and healthcare.
Despite a decline in average daily active wallets by 26% quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) to 6,600, this figure still represents a remarkable 872% increase year-over-year (YoY). Similarly, average daily transactions dropped by 25% QoQ to 222,300 but were up 750% YoY. The protocol's revenue also saw a significant decrease of 53% QoQ, totaling $94,800, primarily due to a 93% drop in ioID activation fees. However, the overall revenue remains up 505% YoY, indicating a robust growth trajectory despite recent fluctuations in activity.
The Quicksilver framework is designed to integrate AI agents with DePINs, enabling them to process real-world data and perform automated actions. The W3bstream layer verifies data from devices before it is utilized by AI agents. IoTeX's ioID framework provides a decentralized identity for devices, enhancing their interaction capabilities within the network. As IoTeX continues to evolve, it aims to solidify its position in the AI and DePIN sectors, with the Realms system expected to incentivize data contributors and enhance the quality of datasets for AI applications. This strategic direction highlights IoTeX's commitment to building a comprehensive ecosystem that leverages physical intelligence for various applications.

Helium Network Sees Significant Growth in Q2 2025 with New Partnerships and Product LaunchesIn Q2 2025, the Helium Network demonstrated remarkable growth, achieving a cumulative total of 2,721 TB of data offloaded from major U.S. mobile carriers, marking a 138.5% increase quarter-over-quarter (QoQ). The number of accounts registered with Helium Mobile surged by 94.1%, reaching over 311,200. This growth was accompanied by a significant rise in average daily Data Credit burns, which increased from $6,170 to $10,423. The Helium Foundation also launched a $50 million grant program aimed at enhancing network coverage, starting in New York City and expanding throughout the U.S. and Mexico over the next year. Additionally, Helium Plus was soft-launched, allowing businesses and public WiFi providers to join the network by upgrading their existing routers.
The Helium Network operates as a decentralized wireless network, providing both cellular and low-power Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity. It utilizes a unique model where users deploy Hotspots and earn HNT tokens, incentivizing community participation. The network's partnership with telecom giants like AT&T and Telefónica's Movistar has enabled it to extend its reach and improve service quality, particularly in underserved areas. The Carrier Offload Program has been a significant driver of growth, allowing legacy telecom customers to connect to Helium Hotspots, which has led to a substantial increase in paid traffic and user engagement.
Despite a broader market downturn that saw HNT's market cap decrease by 23.7%, the Helium Network's operational performance and strategic partnerships position it for sustained growth. The dismissal of the SEC lawsuit against Helium provided regulatory clarity, further strengthening its foundation. The implementation of HIP-141, which unified the governance model under HNT, has streamlined decision-making and encouraged long-term stakeholder commitment. With new product offerings like the “Sprout” kids plan, Helium is poised to expand its market presence and continue evolving as a decentralized alternative in the global wireless landscape.
