Decentralized compute is the busiest corner of DePIN: networks renting out GPUs and CPUs for AI training, inference and rendering. This post takes four of them — Akash, io.net, Aethir and Nosana — and shows exactly what we measure and where each number comes from. Every figure below carries a source and a verify_url, and the market and supply values are a point-in-time snapshot as of 2026-08-09 17:15 UTC. Open any source link and compare.
A note on what "metric depth" means: the counts below are how many distinct live metrics we track for each network across all tiers — first-party provider telemetry, market data and protocol fees combined. The specific dollar and supply figures we cite here are the market and revenue metrics, sourced from CoinGecko and DefiLlama with their own verify_urls. How all of this is sourced and anchored is covered on the Provenance page.
Akash (AKT) — 41 metrics tracked
Akash is the deepest compute network in our coverage, with 41 distinct live metrics spanning market data and first-party provider and lease telemetry read from the Akash console.
- Price: $0.506855 (usd)
- Market cap: $150,291,153
- Circulating supply: 296,502,056 AKT

akash_console), which is why AKT carries far more than the market fields alone.
io.net (IO) — 20 metrics tracked
io.net aggregates GPU supply for AI workloads. We track 20 live metrics for it.
- Price: $0.130227 (usd)
- Market cap: $49,361,213
- Circulating supply: 378,411,633 IO
- Max supply: 800,000,000 IO

Aethir (ATH) — 13 metrics tracked
Aethir is enterprise-grade GPU-as-a-service, and it is one of the few compute networks in this set with usable fee data. We track 13 live metrics for it, including protocol fees from DefiLlama.
- Price: $0.00410541 (usd)
- Market cap: $82,646,324
- Circulating supply: 20,128,764,593 ATH
- Max supply: 42,000,000,000 ATH
- Fees, last 7 days: $189,697.32
- Fees, last 30 days: $2,049,894.32

Nosana (NOS) — 13 metrics tracked
Nosana runs a Solana-based GPU grid aimed at AI inference. We track 13 live metrics for it, and its supply schedule is unusually clean.
- Price: $0.256028 (usd)
- Market cap: $25,592,491
- Circulating supply: 99,999,720 NOS

Why the provenance matters here
Compute DePIN is noisy. Supply figures drift, fee endpoints go quiet, and "GPU count" means different things on different networks. Our answer is not to smooth it into a confident-looking dashboard — it is to hand you every number with the source it came from and the timestamp it was true.
- Where a value came from the network itself, the
verify_urlpoints at the network. - Where it came from an aggregator, the link points at that aggregator's page for that coin.
- Where a network has no free feed for something, the field stays empty and labelled — we never invent a number to fill it.
