PinLink just flipped the switch!!
Their new mainnet, "Pinnacle" is now live, or as Gene Wilder would say;
With it comes the most direct way yet for degens to co-own physical DePIN infrastructure and earn real-world rewards.
No mercenary liquidity, no ve-token ponzinomics.
Just decentralized machines, revenue, and real yield.
Now, if, for whatever reason, you've been living under a rock or been gambling too much on Solana, we'll start from the beginning.
// Firstly, What is PinLink?
PinLink is the first RWA-tokenized DePIN marketplace, giving users access to fractionalized ownership of real-world decentralized infrastructure, like AI GPUs, mining rigs, storage nodes, and privacy routers.
It operates like Amazon for decentralized physical infrastructure in web3.
Rather than buying an entire machine (which is bloody expensive), you can own a fraction, earn passive income, and trade these assets like financial instruments in DeFi.
PinLink sits at the convergence of three major trends: tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), institutional interest in infrastructure, and the exploding demand for AI compute.
While BlackRock, JPMorgan, and Franklin Templeton are trying to build tokenized platforms, PinLink is already live.
It allows retail and institutional players to access DePIN infrastructure in a liquid, yield-bearing format.
PinLink has already acquired and tokenized:
-
250+ Aethir Edge GPUs
-
Hundreds of Bitmain mining rigs (L9s, L7s, KS5s)
-
Nodes for Arweave and Quilibrium
-
Fetch AI agents, Anyone privacy routers, and NetMind GPUs
These aren’t speculative assets; they’re revenue-producing machines, generating $200K+ per month before mainnet even launched.
// So, WTF is "Pinnacle"?
Pinnacle is Pinlinks live marketplace for buying fractional shares of tokenized DePIN assets.
Think miners, GPUs, nodes, and (soon) AI Agents, all wrapped in ERC-1155 tokens that pay you yield.
These are real-world machines generating actual on-chain cash flow.
On Pinnacle, you can:
-
Buy fractional shares of DePIN machines
-
Earn daily rewards. (APR ranging ~20-45%)
-
List or delist your fractions at will
-
Exit anytime through the open secondary market
This isn’t a bond, a LST, or a farm token. You’re buying a cut of actual revenue.
Current Stats (as of press release time):
-
$438,172 total rewards generated
- 175 active assets (mainly Antminer S21 Pros & L9s)
-
18,828,473 GH/s total hashrate - bruh
-
6 asset categories (only "Miners" is live so far)
-
17 Owners (yes, it’s early)
// How to Use Pinnacle
1. Get $PIN
Buy $PIN on Uniswap. It’s the only token accepted to purchase fractions on the platform.
2. Go to the Marketplace
Head to pinlink.ai/marketplace.
You’ll see a list of machines. Sort by APR, price, or availability.
3. Buy a Fraction
Click [BUY] on any listed item, select the number of fractions you want, and confirm the transaction.
Fractions typically have a value of $50 - $120, and APRs currently range from 28% to 41%.
4. Claim Rewards (when they build up)
Go to the “MY ASSETS” tab and click "CLAIM REWARDS" whenever you like. It’s that simple.
5. List / Delist Anytime
Got what you wanted? Want to jeet?
-
Go to “MY ASSETS” > "MY LISTINGS"
-
Set a price, date, and hit [LIST]
-
Change your mind? Hit [DELIST]
// Why This Actually Matters
DePIN is notoriously tricky for average users to monetise. Either you’re running machines in your garage, or you're stuck speculating on governance tokens.
PinLink changes that by making yield-bearing DePIN ownership liquid, fractional, and instant.
This opens the door to:
-
Passive income from physical infrastructure
-
Composability with DeFi (e.g. LPs, lending, vaults)
-
Enterprise-grade AI hardware access for builders
Plus, all assets are verified and proof-of-revenue. No vaporware here.
// The Real Alpha
At the time of writing, Pinnacle has only 17 users.
That’s not a typo; it’s early, and being early means an asymmetric upside.
The best yield-to-price opportunities are sitting in lower-cost fractions, often under $60, giving you outsized returns relative to capital deployed.
Staking is also live, though barely tapped into, with an APY hovering around 0.27%.
This hints at future upgrades, with revenue sharing or protocol incentives yet to kick in.
And with GPU, AI hardware, and DeStorage categories labelled "coming soon," demand for $PIN and the marketplace will likely increase sharply as new asset types go live.
This is one of those times when playing early and smart could seriously pay off.
Pinnacle is a glimpse into what real, sustainable DeFi 3.0 looks like: on-chain infrastructure powered by tokenized ownership, producing provable yield.
And for now, it’s wide open.
Own machines. Earn yield. Exit anytime.
