Solana’s decentralized physical infrastructure sector pulled in $2.8 million in revenue during April, according to data from Syndica. That’s actual money flowing through networks that provide real-world services like wireless coverage, mapping, and bandwidth sharing.
The more striking number: data offload activity across these protocols jumped 17x compared to the same period last year.
The numbers behind the growth
April’s $2.8 million figure follows $2.4 million recorded in February, and the cumulative tracked DePIN revenue on Solana has now surpassed $22 million since January 2025. By December 2025, some protocols had reached an average of 4.8 terabytes of monthly data offload.
Seven major protocols account for the bulk of activity: Helium, Render, Hivemapper, UpRock, NATIX, XNET, and GEODNET. Each serves a distinct function, from decentralized wireless networks to geographic data collection.
