Exploring Three New De's in the Crypto Space: DePIN, DeSci, and DeSoc

The article argues that crypto attention should shift from DeFi toward non-financial sectors such as DePIN (physical infrastructure networks), DeSoc (social media) and DeSci (decentralized science). It says DePIN offers a decentralized alternative to traditional cloud infrastructure, and that demand for decentralized redundancy could rise as a hedge against Big Tech deplatforming. It cites friend.tech's distribution of $50 million to creators in its initial months after launch as a sign of promising revenue-sharing models in DeSoc. For DeSci, it notes that about 50% of tracked projects were built in the past year, and it names VitaDAO, which funds longevity and therapeutic projects, as a possible vehicle for a DeSci investment thesis.
