Messari remains optimistic about sector rotation across four key crypto narratives in 2025: AI, DePIN, DeSoc, and DeSci. These emerging verticals are expected to lead the next growth cycle.
DeSoc (Decentralized Social)
1. Farcaster – Backed by a16z, this decentralized social protocol has not launched a token yet.
2. Lens Protocol – Developed by the AAVE team, still no token issued.
3. DeSo – A social Layer 1 blockchain, token yet to be launched.
4. Nostr – Bitcoin-based decentralized social, no native token yet.
5. Tako Protocol – A foundational layer for decentralized social platforms.
AI Track
1. $AGIX (SingularityNET) – A decentralized platform for AI services.
2. $FET (Fetch.ai) – Focused on autonomous agents and smart automation.
3. $TAO (Bittensor) – A decentralized network for machine learning models.
4. $AKT (Akash Network) – A decentralized cloud computing marketplace.
5. $WLD (WorldCoin) – A biometric identity and universal income project by OpenAI’s co-founder.
DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks)
1. $RNDR (Render Network) – GPU rendering on-chain; leader in AI + DePIN.
2. $DIMO – Focused on decentralized mobility data.
3. $IOTX (IoTeX) – Connecting real-world devices to blockchain.
4. $HONEY (Hivemapper) – A decentralized mapping project within the Solana ecosystem.
5. $HNT (Helium) – A decentralized wireless network infrastructure.
DeSci (Decentralized Science)
1. GenomesDAO – Enables genomic data control through blockchain.
2. Data Lake – Revolutionizing access to medical data for research.
3. RejuveAI – Merging longevity research with advanced AI.
4. Medical Veda – Canadian firm integrating DeFi into healthcare tech.
5. ResearchHub – A research collaboration platform backed by Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong.
As innovation continues, these ecosystems are shaping the future of crypto beyond just finance.
