Catch this session to learn more about how DePIN leaders are redefining the future of the GPU industry.

Centralized vs Decentralized Compute | GPU Industry Discussion https://t.co/YdZnpGXKwi

[Basem @Basem_IO]

Futures market for compute? The spot market is already broken.

@ionet is hitting record demand and it is not stopping. The market has flipped: suppliers are setting the price, capacity is the new currency, and AI builders are waking up to the fact that compute scarcity is today’s problem.

The shortage isn’t coming. It arrived if you haven’t noticed.

SITUATION DETECTED: BlackRock CEO Larry Fink says compute will become a new asset class with its own futures market.

“A new asset class will be buying futures of compute. We just don’t have enough compute power right now.”

[Basem @Basem_IO]

When we started https://t.co/kLywHjoydM, the goal was simple. We wanted to build infrastructure that makes AI compute more accessible, scalable, and efficient for everyone, everywhere.

https://t.co/kLywHjoydM has recently passed 2B+ daily tokens on @OpenRouter .

That’s not just a milestone. It’s proof that decentralized compute can power real AI workloads.

The utility comes from actual usage. Developers consuming compute, models serving inference, and infrastructure coordinating globally in real time.

This is what real adoption looks like.

[io.net @ionet]

We put utility at the center of our new tokenomics.

Not as a narrative. As measurable demand.

The proof?

2B+ tokens processed on OpenRouter.

Developers are routing their inference workloads through https://t.co/ZuybGWvjv9 infrastructure because it provides scalable, affordable, and resilient compute for the AI economy.

More workloads, more usage, more real-world utility.

@blockchainbalak @ionet @Gaurav_ionet Welcome on board sir 🫡

[Basem @Basem_IO]

GLM 5.1 from @Zai_org just dropped on @OpenRouter . https://t.co/vkyhEMfAKM is amongst the exclusive list of first providers, live within seconds.
We stay ready so we don't have to get ready.

Another video, courtesy of our design team, but we ended up not using it. Wanted to share it nonetheless since it looks cool as hell

We turned the lights on at https://t.co/kLywHjp63k ☀️
New theme across the entire Network. Not just a rebrand, rather dozens of micro UX changes built with researchers to make our AI cloud feel more familiar for vibe coders, AI builders, and agent devs.
Transparency isn't just on-chain revenue and open tokenomics. It's how the product feels.

AI infrastructure has been running in the dark.

Controlled by a handful of players, the industry has been held back by hidden pricing, secretive deals, and locked doors.

We built https://t.co/ZuybGWvRkH to change that.

Distributed compute. Transparent pricing. Open access. For everyone. Everywhere.

For over two years we have been working to bring light to the dark. Today with the launch of our new brand design, we are giving form to the idea.

The lights are on.

@Oil_Jamesx May Allah bless your heart.

@Eli5defi Happy birthday to them 🎉

[Basem @Basem_IO]

Eid Mubarak 🌙 İyi bayramlar. عيد مبارك

Building, shipping, and grinding, but today we pause and count our blessings.

Wishing every Muslim around the world a Happy Eid, and the entire IO community celebrating with us too.

And a special prayer for safety and peace wherever it’s needed most. May this Eid bring calm and comfort to all hearts. 🕊️

[Basem @Basem_IO]

We're live on @OpenRouter. 🚀

Decentralized GPU clusters. Faster, cheaper, more accessible model inference.

But here's the kicker, we're running higher precision (BF16) while matching the throughput other providers get on FP4/FP8. Higher quality outputs, no tradeoff on speed.

[Basem @Basem_IO]

@mr_rb3rt @ionet @OpenRouter Thanks for the suggestion, We are monitoring health metrics and have further plans in the near future.

[io.net @ionet]

Access to GPUs is key to succeeding in AI.

Great ideas matter. Talented teams matter. Perfect product-market fit matters.

But without accessible and affordable GPUs, even the most amazing projects can't succeed.

Most data centers aren't ready for the exponential increase in demand. And the ones that are charge prices most people can't afford.

That's why we're here: to increase access and affordability so everyone has a fair chance to bring innovative ideas to market.

@KyleSamani @multicoin @KyleSamani, wishing you all the best as you step into this next chapter.
It’s been a real privilege to have you in our corner as we build @ionet. Your early conviction on DePIN + AI compute helped shape the space we’re still pushing forward in.

[io.net @ionet]

Up to 60% of an AI startup's budget goes to infrastructure costs.

Not engineering. Not product development. Not sales or marketing. Infrastructure.

But there's another way.

Decentralized compute can cut costs by 70%. That can be the difference between bringing a killer product to market and turning off the lights.

Every generation rebuilds infrastructure on new primitives. Railroads. Telecom. Internet. DePIN carries that torch forward, and unlike anything else in crypto, it doesn't need a bull market to win. It just needs the world to keep building. And the world never stops building.

State of DePIN 2025: THE RESURRECTION

[io.net @ionet]

GLM-4.7 built by @Zai_org just dropped on io.intelligence

LiveCodeBench: 84.9%
Claude Sonnet 4.5: 64%

Open source model outscoring Anthropic's flagship on coding benchmarks. The "Preserved Thinking" mechanism actually works for long agentic sessions.

Happy 2026 ✨

DePIN tokenomics is a coordination problem with no easy answers. Suppliers, holders, users, treasury, stakers. everyone has different targets, different timelines, different risk tolerances.

Get it wrong and you build an Ouroboros, a protocol that eats itself. Get it right and you build infrastructure that lasts.

We think IDE is the right answer, but we're not asking anyone to trust us blindly. That's why we published the litepaper for community feedback first, and why independent reviews like Messari's matter.

Their report is live. Take a look.

[Messari @MessariCrypto]

https://t.co/9lYVcbrlNf @ionet is pivoting from a supply-led emissions to a utility-driven token model that anchors $IO to real demand and GPU payouts; its Incentive Dynamic Engine (IDE) uses a dual-vault system to stabilize supplier income in USD terms and dynamically mint or burn based on real revenue.
