My Complete Decentralized Physical AI Infrastructure (DePAI) Investment Strategy: Top 8 Picks

READ NOW 🚨:

Welcome to a new edition of the Wealth Vault. If you have been following the markets keenly in the last few days, you may have noticed a shift in mindshare toward AI. Now, while I've touched on AI before, there's a whole sub-area that I haven't really dove into yet—robotics. That's what I'm going to be focusing on in today’s edition. I'll be breaking down some of the most interesting projects I've found across the entire Decentralized Physical AI Infrastructure stack (DePAI), from the foundational layers to humanoid robots.

Everything You’ll find in this Edition:

💎What is DePAI?
💎Infrastructure

💎Cloud Computing

💎Physical Hardware

💎Robotics Infrastructure

Let’s get into it ⤵️

💎What is DePAI?

Decentralized Physical AI includes everything from humanoid robots to the backbone technologies that support them. The robotics industry is already booming, and projections show it could hit $372 billion in market size over the next decade. With a compound annual growth rate of 15%, it’s one of the strongest long-term trends we’re seeing globally.

But unlike traditional markets which follow fundamentals heavily, crypto thrives on hype, momentum, and strong narratives. And right now, there’s no hotter narrative than AI. And within AI, one sector stands out, and that’s robotics. In this edition, I’ll focus specifically on what powers robotics in Web3, i.e. decentralized physical AI infrastructure.

It’s the essential stack that enables robotic systems to function securely and autonomously on-chain. I’ll be breaking down each part of this stack from core infrastructure and cloud computing to physical robotics networks and hardware and sharing my top picks in each category.

💎Infrastructure

Infrastructure is one of the most essential and wide-reaching categories.

1. @opentensor | $TAO

Price: $350.77

Mcap: $3.05B

TAO isn’t particularly a robotics token, but its subnet architecture allows developers to build decentralized applications that rely on its secure AI-powered network. That include DePAI, which plays a key role in enabling robotics.

$TAO has had one of the strongest recoveries in the AI sector, pumping 62% in just one month.

It has had 17 green days in the last 30 days (57%)

2. @peaq | $PEAQ

Price: $0.1284

Mcap: $98M

$PEAQ is helping build the backbone of automated, AI-integrated systems in crypto.

Their Peaq SDK lets developers spin up DePIN networks with just a few lines of code, making it incredibly accessible.

They’ve also built out a modular suite of tools, Peak ID, Peak Access, Peak Pay, Peak Store, Peak Verify, and even autonomous AI agents. All these are designed to plug into the decentralized economy seamlessly.

💎Cloud Computing
