The current cryptocurrency market is sluggish, giving people a feeling of entering a bear market. The pace of speculating on cryptocurrencies has slowed down. In addition to daily interactive king-level projects, you may also want to participate in these zero-cost, highly discussed DePin projects in the community. These projects only require simple registration and basic configuration, and then they can be on-hook in the background, which takes up very little energy and may bring unexpected surprises when tokens are airdropped in the future.
Grass
Project Introduction
Grass is the first project deployed on Solana that combines AI, Depin, and Solana technologies, and is positioned as the data layer for AI.

DAWN
Project Introduction
DAWN is a decentralized autonomous wireless network in a physical resource network. DAWN uses the latest point-to-multipoint (PtMP) wireless technology to enable nodes to communicate directly with multiple nodes efficiently. This allows high-density distribution of bandwidth among many users in the network, turning each node into a micro ISP. Through protocols and hardware, it allows users to buy and sell Internet capacity in their surrounding areas, operate as Internet providers themselves, and earn revenue through DAWN nodes. Currently, DAWN has received 33 million in financing, and Dragonfly led both rounds of financing. In addition , Solanas official Twitter account has mentioned the project many times.
