Blockworks Research

Compute DePINs are one of the best positioned verticals in crypto for mass adoption as AI compute demand has exposed structural inefficiencies in the cloud computing and leading-edge compute markets. These structural inefficiencies could last for years, as concentrated and technically complex supply chains are moving too slowly to meet the insatiable demand for compute, and the step function growth in demand for AI compute sustains.

Despite Aptos being a relatively young blockchain when compared to other L1s, a combination of design choices, network adoption, partnerships, and dApp development proves that the network is primed for breakout momentum over the coming years.
