DePINed has released its 2026 roadmap, putting the spotlight on a Q2 2026 $DEPIN token generation event and an expected listing on a major exchange. Incubated by ChainGPT, the project is building a decentralized “supercloud” on Solana that allows users to contribute idle GPU and CPU power for AI workloads while earning points tied to a future token airdrop.
Four phases set the pace, with Q2 drawing the most attention
The roadmap breaks development into four stages across 2026. In Q1, HiveMind is scheduled to enter public beta. This system sits at the center of the network, letting users supply and access decentralized compute resources. The beta is meant to show how shared AI compute works in practice, with participants contributing hardware and receiving rewards.
The key milestone comes in Q2 2026. DePINed plans to launch the $DEPIN token through its TGE during that period, alongside an anticipated major exchange listing. That would open the first market for the token and could also be the point when accumulated airdrop points begin converting into on-chain assets. Still, the token price has not been confirmed, and the final conversion ratio for the airdrop remains undecided.
This stage also includes AI agent tools and a full network launch, giving developers a way to build and run AI agents on shared compute. In the final phase, the project says it will introduce enterprise APIs and a more stable compute marketplace, aiming to improve reliability and pricing while bringing business users into the ecosystem.
Points program remains live as claim details stay open
The pre-mining points system is still active. Users can keep earning by running the DePINed Chrome extension or by taking part in HiveMind activities. The extension runs in the background, and rewards are tied to factors such as uptime and shared bandwidth.
DePINed also highlighted several ways users can raise their points balance. After 25 hours of usage, participants receive invite codes. Referrals then generate a 10% lifetime bonus on the referred user’s earnings. Linking X and Discord accounts to the HiveMind dashboard can also increase “Attention Points.” Those balances are expected to convert during or after the $DEPIN TGE, but the project has not published final claim mechanics.
Solana base layer and security warning accompany the update
Because the project is built on Solana, the article points to fast transactions and low fees once token trading begins. On valuation, there is no hard guidance yet. The source only notes funding potential and the project’s link with ChainGPT Pad as factors that could draw interest at launch.
At the same time, the team issued a security warning, telling users to interact only with links shared by official accounts in order to avoid scams. For participants preparing for a future claim, keeping the correct wallet connected will be an important operational step.
