The world of AI isn't just about chatbots and image generators anymore—it's getting physical. Enter Decentralized Physical AI, or DePAI, where blockchain tech fuses with real-world robotics, drones, and smart networks. If you've been following the crypto space, you know DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) is heating up, but DePAI takes it further by putting AI agents in charge of tangible hardware. Think self-driving cars on steroids, or drones that earn tokens for delivering data.

A recent thread by Graeme (@gkisokay), a DeAI enthusiast and founder of Amplifi, maps out the landscape perfectly. He calls the DePAI sector "wide open," with robotics, drones, and spatial networks all going onchain. Graeme spotlights 11 key tokens that are leading the charge—totaling hundreds of millions in market cap. These aren't just hype; they're projects with real milestones, partnerships, and launches on the horizon.

Whether you're a blockchain builder dipping into robotics or a trader eyeing the next big narrative, this rundown will get you up to speed

. Let's break down the list, token by token.

1. $PEAQ ($137M Market Cap)

peaq is like the backbone for DePIN in the robotics world—a Layer-1 blockchain tailored for robots and vehicles. It commands about 30% of the entire Robotics/DePAI market cap, which says a lot about its dominance. Right now, they're kicking off "Get Real Season 2," dishing out a whopping 210 million PEAQ tokens (worth around $24M) in rewards. If you're into building or staking, peaq's ecosystem is buzzing with opportunities for onchain mobility apps.

2. $eMDR ($40M Market Cap)

Modulr isn't messing around—it's a decentralized operating system (deOS) designed specifically for onchain robotics. The magic? Modular AI components and a "Proof-of-Utility" model that rewards actual usage in a robotics-driven economy. Keep an eye on their MVP launch and the rollout of the first K-bot robots. This could be the OS that makes robot swarms feasible on blockchain. Check out Modulr's vision for more on how they're tokenizing robot labor.

3. $GEOD ($58M Market Cap)

Precision matters in robotics, and GEODNET delivers it with centimeter-level location data via a decentralized RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) network. Drones and robots thrive on this accuracy. They've just hit over 20,000 active stations in 150+ countries, making them the biggest RTK player out there. If spatial computing is your jam, GEODNET's global footprint is a game-changer for autonomous fleets.

4. $AUKI ($71M Market Cap)

Auki Network blends decentralized spatial computing with AR and robotics, all fueled by AUKI tokens. They made waves with the world's first autonomous humanoid navigation using a Unitree G1 robot—imagine AR overlays guiding bots through real spaces. This token is primed for the metaverse-meets-manufacturing era.

5. $EDGE ($16M Market Cap)

Edge Network turns spare computing power into a decentralized supercloud, now eyeing robotics OS integration. Their upcoming Edge Portal could democratize AI training for physical devices. With a launch tease, this low-cap gem might moon as robotics demand spikes. Dive into Edge's docs to see how it scales.

6. $RBR ($16M Market Cap)

Robora unifies robotics and IoT on a decentralized AI platform, with RBR tokens handling rewards. Fresh off a partnership with ZKML Systems for verifiable modular robotics, they're building a tokenized economy around hardware. Manufacturing collabs are next—perfect for devs wanting secure, onchain robot control.

7. $RICE ($23M Market Cap)

Rice AI focuses on decentralized data for robotics training, using VR teleoperation to capture human-like movements. Their FLOKI Minibot M1 flew off shelves—800+ units gone in a day. Upcoming AI companion integrations could blend memes with machines in fun ways. (Meme Insider approved!)

8. $CODEC ($31M Market Cap)

Codec OpenFlow leverages Vision-Language Actions (VLA)—think AI that understands commands like "pick up the red ball" for robots. Their latest SDK update lets devs simulate on remote servers, lowering the barrier for hardware-light teams. Explore Codec if you're into accessible DePAI dev tools.

9. $VADER ($10M Market Cap)

Vader AI crowdsources first-person videos and actions to train physical AI, with EgoPlay—a gamified beta using smart glasses—for immersive data collection. This token's all about feeding the robotics hunger for human-centric datasets.

10. $SLC ($10M Market Cap)

Silencio Network starts with noise pollution data via smartphones (41B+ points from 1.1M users), but it's expanding into voice AI. Their September 17 keynote drops the next phase—could tie into quieter robot ops in urban environments. SLC rewards real-world sensing.

11. $NRN ($23M Market Cap)

NRN Agents bridges AI agents into gaming and robotics, pushing toward AGI. A teased web app for remote robot control is on deck—launch imminent. Gamers and robot enthusiasts, this one's for you.

DePAI isn't just a buzzword; it's the bridge from digital tokens to physical impact. With AI hardware costs dropping and blockchain ensuring trustless coordination, these projects could redefine industries like logistics and manufacturing. Graeme's thread nails why now's the time to watch: rewards flowing, launches stacking, and networks expanding.
