Discover the world of passive earning with crypto and DePIN

Welcome to Pincto's list of passive earning crypto projects. Most are DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure) projects, but some others may be included if they are relevant or similar enough.

This is not an exhaustive list of every single DePIN app out there. Instead, this list is largely for the average person, where all you need is a computer or a smartphone. Some projects offer hardware (optional or required), and those are marked accordingly.

All of these are free with no upfront costs unless specifically stated (ie. required hardware).
