Pinlink Turned 1 This Week!
A Year of Learning, Building & Looking Ahead.
Over the past year we’ve learned quickly, refined our approach, and built a foundation that makes us genuinely excited for what’s ahead. What started as an experiment in tokenized hardware has become a functioning on-chain infrastructure platform with real usage, real payouts, and real momentum.
Here’s what Year One taught us and what comes next. 👇

1/ What We Delivered
• 17,600+ mining fractions minted
A live hardware-ownership market now operating fully onchain, with machines producing verifiable revenue every day.
• $530,188+ in mining rewards distributed
Months of consistent, uninterrupted performance across tokenized infrastructure.
• PinShop v2: 0.6240 WBTC paid out
A model of transparent, infrastructure-backed Bitcoin yield.
• Three active marketplaces
Hashlink, PinShop, and USDC Shop, each built to serve different user needs and risk profiles.
• $800K in buybacks executed
A proven reinforcement loop between platform activity and PIN token value.
• Key partnerships
Including Crypto Miners UAE, with more integrations in progress.
2/ Marketplace Momentum
Each product in the ecosystem: HashLink, PinShop, and the USDC Shop has its own role. All three remain active and strategically important.
This year, Hashlink showed the strongest early traction, with two future-hashrate drops selling out rapidly. The model creates a clean alignment:
– Users gain access to higher earning potential
– Pinlink receives predictable BTC inflows
– Infrastructure partners can plan capacity more efficiently
This tells us that time-based, infrastructure-backed BTC exposure resonates deeply with our users.
3/ Meanwhile, PinShop continues to deliver steady payouts, and the USDC Shop has broadened accessibility for users who prefer stablecoin-anchored products. Together, these marketplaces create optionality, and that optionality remains central to our vision.
The marketplace design is intentionally modular. It allows us to iterate, refine, and expand product-market fit across multiple yield categories.
4/ Understanding Today’s Yield Environment
Finding strong, durable yield in DePIN and RWA is more complex than surface metrics suggest. A few structural forces shape the landscape:
• Hardware supply often scales faster than network demand
• Early token incentives naturally taper once networks mature
• Real-world infrastructure has operating costs that cap inflated yields
• Retail access often comes after the highest-yield phase
• Ecosystem demand can move in cycles
• Many networks are still forming their long-term revenue models
High-quality yield exists, but it requires careful navigation.
Our approach is designed around that reality:
• Stricter due diligence before onboarding any category
• Preference for real economic output, not solely token emissions
• Transitioning toward native-token payouts to capture upside during rebounds
• Increased focus on durable sectors like energy, compute, and core infrastructure
• Development of AI Agents to optimise yield across ecosystems
• A marketplace structure that adapts as performance conditions shift
These steps widen the opportunity set for our users while improving the long-term sustainability of the yields we offer.
5/ Infrastructure Progress
Building automated native BTC payments required significant engineering depth.
Completing that work has strengthened the underlying architecture and prepares us for larger scale, more complex flows, and broader product expansion.
This foundation supports:
• Higher throughput
• Additional asset classes
• More advanced settlement logic
• The launch of agent-driven vaults
•The merge of RWA and DeFi yields
•Compounding assets
•Automated Stable coin and native BTC payouts)
•Onchain Tokenization engine
6/ PIN Token
A More Defined Utility Path
Community feedback has been essential in shaping the next phase of driving value and growth to PIN. Unique pools accessible to PIN Holders as well as token burns.
A deeper, more integrated utility layer has already been mapped out and will roll out gradually
The objective is to give PIN a clear, durable role across the marketplace as activity continues to scale.
7/ The Road Ahead
Our mission remains unchanged:
Provide access to a curated, dependable selection of the strongest yield opportunities in RWA and DePIN.
In the coming months, you’ll see:
• Expansion into energy RWAs, infrastructure, energy and more
• Agent-powered vaults that automate yield allocation
• New partners and new asset categories
• Continued improvements to the user experience
• A broader range of products across all three marketplaces
8/ The Pinlink Mesh
The Pinlink Mesh is our next major step an intelligent yield-routing layer built on top of our agentic infrastructure.
Users will be able to opt into autonomous strategies that allocate across Bitcoin miners, energy assets, DePIN networks, and agent-driven products.
The Mesh is designed to streamline decision-making and give users consistent access to high-quality yields without the need to manually compare options.
9/ Year One Built the Foundation. Year Two Expands It.
In our first year we delivered:
• A functioning on-chain hardware economy
• Over half a million dollars in on-chain rewards
• Three operating marketplaces
• Strategic partnerships with infrastructure providers
• Real usage and consistent demand
• A clearer product direction shaped by real-world performance
Year Two is about expanding supply, deepening utility, and making the experience of earning high-quality yield as simple as possible.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey so far. The next year will define what Pinlink becomes, and we’re excited to build it together.
Onward. 🧡
