All estimates are approximate
Every figure displayed on DePINly is an estimate. We anchor our formulas to publicly documented reward mechanisms (per-network docs, operator reports, ecosystem data published by Messari and similar). Where data is uncertain, constants in the source code are marked with // ESTIMATE or // PLACEHOLDER.
Past performance does not guarantee future returns
Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile. A DePIN that earned $100/month last quarter may earn $50 or $200 next quarter — or $0 if the network or token fails. We do not predict the future of any specific token or network.
Token prices fluctuate
USD figures are computed by multiplying token earnings by the current CoinGecko price. Prices change continuously. The same tokens-per-month rate can yield very different USD amounts as market conditions shift. Pre-TGE tokens (like Combinder's $BIND) are shown in points only — no speculative USD is computed.
Hardware costs vary by region
Costs displayed (Helium hotspots, Bee dashcams, GPUs, RTK antennas, weather stations) reflect manufacturer or US retail pricing where verified. Your local price may differ due to import duties, shipping, vendor availability, and currency exchange. Used-market prices typically run 30-60% of new.
Electricity rates assumed
Where calculators include electricity costs (compute networks like Render, Akash, Bittensor, Aethir, io.net, Theta, Storj), we use country-average residential rates. Your actual rate may be substantially different, especially with time-of-use plans or commercial accounts. Most compute calculators let you override the rate manually.
Reward programs and campaigns
Some DePIN networks run periodic reward campaigns on top of baseline emissions. We do not include speculative campaign rewards in our central estimates — only baseline rates are shown. Check each project's official site for current promotions that might add to your earnings.
Network outages and downtime
Estimates assume reasonable uptime appropriate for the network (most calculators default to 95-100% uptime). Real-world outages (your internet, power, project infrastructure) will reduce earnings proportionally.
Audit log
DePINly maintains an internal audit document (AUDIT.md in the source repo) that records each verification pass against official sources. The most recent audit was on 2026-05-18.
