I recently paid attention to a quite interesting DePIN project called Parasail Protocol. Actually, Parasail is doing something not very common in the industry — they focus on security for hardware services instead of just tokens or transactions.

The good thing here is that Parasail just completed a seed funding round of $4 million, raising its valuation to $50 million. The list of investors is quite impressive — Protocol Labs leading, along with D11 Labs, MH Ventures, BitRise Capital, EV3, Fenbushi Capital, Module Capital, Department Group, DWF Ventures, Foresight Ventures, AGE Crypto, and Waterdrip Capital. This is a strong signal from top-tier funds.

In fact, Parasail’s TVL has exceeded $50 million, indicating genuine market interest in the project. According to the plan, this capital will be used to develop core features — hardware asset aggregation, service level guarantees, and flexible resource orchestration based on actual demand.

But what I find truly remarkable is the technology Parasail is building. They not only secure hardware services through asset authorization but also develop a universal switch that allows flexible use of hardware resources like graphics cards, storage, sensors across different DePIN ecosystems. This opens up interaction possibilities that weren’t available before.

This means other DePIN projects can use the Parasail protocol to systematically and efficiently set up their networks, making hardware resource mobilization easier. If this trend continues, Parasail could become a vital infrastructure layer for the entire DePIN ecosystem. You can follow DePIN projects on Gate to stay updated on their development.
