The Arc’s Post

Odyssey Weekly Number: 1st Spring 2024 Cohort Project! The first post in this column marks an important milestone in the development of The Odyssey Cohort 2024, our first project - AYDO.ai AYDO.ai is a DePIN that bridges the gap between Web2 and Web3, empowering users to control, own, and profit from the data generated by smart home IoT devices and their interaction with them. 🎖️ Grantee by peaq Network The DePin sector, especially AYDO.ai, has piqued our interest for several compelling reasons: Aggregate DePIN Market Cap has been steadily increasing in the last two Q. This indicates more new DePin projects are starting and existing ones are growing. Consistent interest from Venture Funds matches the involvement and interest of the community. Examination of the DePin VC's market reveals that the most substantial projects have accumulated approximately $1,2 billion in funding. A correct growth strategy for the ecosystem incentivizes the development of fresh products. Thanks to ecosystems like IoTeX and peaq Network, AYDO.ai has been part of this exponential growth journey. We are excited to welcome the AYDO.ai team to our circles and begin our fruitful and long-lasting collaboration on The Odyssey Cohort 2024! #web3 #depin #startup #accelerator #growth
