TrendX’s Mainnet 2.0 Redefines DePIN with DePinS Model and SaaS-Driven Growth

TrendX, a prominent project in the decentralized computing power network sector, has announced the launch of its Mainnet 2.0 upgrade, marking a pivotal advancement in the DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) industry. This update introduces a “layered computing structure” and a “heterogeneous task scheduling engine,” significantly improving the network’s capacity to allocate computing resources based on task complexity and priority. The new system supports advanced applications such as AI model training, on-chain big data analysis, and real-time strategy computation. According to TrendX’s technical documentation, the 2.0 system is expected to enhance the network’s scalability and commercial potential, transforming individual miner nodes from basic computing units into distributed computing components capable of executing complex tasks [2].

Accompanying this infrastructure upgrade, TrendX’s Owlverse platform has introduced a novel concept known as DePinS (DePIN + SaaS). The DePinS model aims to streamline the process of launching DePIN projects by abstracting the underlying technology into modular SaaS services. Unlike traditional DePIN projects like Filecoin and Grass, which require teams to build computing networks from scratch, Owlverse offers pre-built components that reduce development barriers. This approach allows startups to focus on application innovation and community growth while leveraging a unified economic model driven by the $XTTA token [2].

The limited release of 50,000 Level-1 ComputingBoxes on August 22, 2025, has already generated significant interest in the market. These ComputingBoxes serve as the key to node upgrades and represent a scarce resource for miners. A second release of 50,000 Level-2 ComputingBoxes is scheduled for October 22, further supporting the layered expansion of the computing power network. This phased rollout is designed to ensure stability while gradually increasing the network's capacity to handle more sophisticated computational workloads [2].

Owlverse’s DePinS model is also supported by a multi-planet incubation plan, which anticipates the addition of 20–30 new projects over the next 12 months. These projects are expected to bring additional computing tasks and token demand to the network, reinforcing the platform’s long-term sustainability. Analysts suggest that the combination of a Vault insurance mechanism and $XTTA token lock-up and buyback strategies could provide the sector with more robust risk resistance compared to earlier DePIN initiatives, which struggled with volatile token prices and weak economic models [2].

Industry observers view Owlverse as a potential infrastructure provider for the broader DePIN sector, similar to how SaaS platforms transformed enterprise software during the Web2 era. While the DePinS model is still in its early stages, it seeks to address a central challenge in the DePIN industry: enabling broader participation in decentralized infrastructure development at a lower cost. The success of this model will depend on the platform’s ability to attract and retain a diverse range of projects and developers. As the computing power network expands and application scenarios are implemented, the long-term viability of Owlverse as a new benchmark in the DePIN sector remains a key focus for industry stakeholders [2].
