$IDLE is live on Solana.

Quick rundown on what it does and why it exists.

IDLE Protocol takes 15% of every gateway payment. That fee is the entire token economy. 10% auto-swaps to $IDLE on Jupiter every hour and sends it to the burn address. 5% covers infrastructure and development. The other 85% goes straight to the resource owner's wallet, same block.

Staking gives you a bigger cut. Base split is 85/15. Stake 10k $IDLE and you keep 87%. Stake 50k and it's 90%. 250k gets you 95%. The protocol adjusts your split ratio on the next payout.

Burning $IDLE unlocks features: priority routing (your jobs match first), advanced task types, analytics on your gateway traffic, and custom endpoint domains. Priority routing means lower latency and higher uptime for your resources.

The thesis: $IDLE supply can only go down. Every gateway call generates a burn. More resources on the network means more API calls, which means more fees, which means more buying pressure and more tokens removed from circulation permanently. The flywheel is mechanical, not speculative.

Introducing IDLE.

Your PC earns from AI agent tasks. Your wallet compounds yield. Your agent sells its downtime.

Everything idle. Now earning.

1/ We're excited to be backed by @Alchemy via the $20M Solana Fund - and we're switching our Solana RPC infrastructure to Alchemy.

One of the most important infrastructure moves we've made since launch. 🧵

The world has a compute problem.

$650 billion committed to new data centers in 2026. Half of it delayed or canceled. Not enough transformers. Not enough power. Grid queues stretching 7 years. The world needs compute desperately - and the infrastructure to build it is failing.

We built the first live distributed compute network on Solana, powering inference for NVIDIA NIM, Mistral AI, and Google Gemini automatically.

But IDLE had one problem. Running a node required a terminal command. On mobile - it was near impossible. That kept 4 billion phones off the network.

We built the fix. And we built it on top of IDLE.

IDLE Protocol is the foundation. The game is the door.

Every player is a node. Every phone is infrastructure. Every session contributes to a global compute network that was already live, already paying out, already growing before the first player logged in.

The first game where your device powers a real compute network while you play.

[Idle @IdleProtocol]

$650 billion committed to data centers in 2026. Nearly half of it delayed or canceled - not because of chip shortages, not because of funding, but because there aren't enough transformers and the grid can't handle it.

The world needs compute. The infrastructure to build it takes 7 years and communities are actively voting it down.

4 billion phones and PCs are already on, already connected, already sitting idle. No permits needed. No transformers. No grid upgrades.

IDLE Protocol turns all of it into a single distributed compute network. Inference, compute, web tasks, data, APIs - devices execute jobs and earn USDC on Solana automatically. The compute the world needs already exists, it just isn't connected yet.

One person. Four idle resources turned into paid API endpoints. $0.60 in gateway revenue. $1.02 already withdrawn to their wallet. No cloud bill. No infrastructure to manage. No permission required.

Every phone, laptop, GPU, and idle device on earth has the same potential. IDLE is the protocol that connects all of it - routing demand, executing tasks, settling in USDC on Solana automatically.

This is how the distributed compute economy works in practice. solana:AjLhrxN2yrCe45Y2KGPMZCkBm6NpN43jWqPkdZq6pump

[Awais Majeed @AwaisMajee17387]

I plugged 4 resources into @IdleCompute and let them run.
35 requests. $0.60 gateway revenue. $1.02 already withdrawn.
My PC, my Llama inference, just sitting idle — now paid API endpoints on x402.
This is what "put your agents to work" actually looks like in practice.
Still early. Still tiny numbers. But the infra is live and it pays.
$IDLE — NFA. https://t.co/FkQgPlHd0E

(4/4) IDLE isn't competing with Cloudflare, NVIDIA, or Mistral. It's the distributed compute and payment layer that works alongside all of them.

Every time a new infrastructure company opens an integration point, IDLE connects to it. The network becomes more useful with every addition without rebuilding anything. That's the compounding advantage of being the settlement and routing layer - not a competitor.

Businesses and developers access the full compute catalog via API. AI agents discover and pay autonomously via the Coinbase x402 Bazaar, https://t.co/2GOIsV4V0I, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, and across the entire x402 agent discovery ecosystem.

1/ IDLE x @Cloudflare AI Gateway.

Cloudflare serves 20% of all internet traffic. Their AI Gateway is the unified inference layer routing developer requests to 14+ AI providers globally - OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Google, and more.

IDLE is now listed as a custom provider. Any developer using Cloudflare AI Gateway can route inference requests directly to IDLE's distributed compute network. 🧵

(3/4) IDLE is now live across every major compute and agent discovery platform simultaneously.

Cloudflare AI Gateway - unified inference layer, 20% of all internet traffic
Coinbase x402 Bazaar - AI agents pay autonomously in USDC
https://t.co/2GOIsV4V0I - agent commerce layer
Amazon Bedrock AgentCore - AWS native agent infrastructure
RapidAPI - 4 million developers, world's largest API marketplace
And across the entire x402 agent discovery ecosystem

Every integration adds a new demand channel to the same network. The more surfaces IDLE appears on, the more compute demand flows to node operators.

Google just made the biggest pricing shift in AI history at I/O 2026.

Gemini is moving from monthly subscriptions to a compute-based model. Every interaction priced by complexity. Every task priced by compute consumed. Google is processing 3.2 quadrillion tokens per month - up 7x year over year - and their infrastructure still can't keep up.

Compute is now the currency of AI. Not subscriptions. Not tokens. Compute.

Google confirmed what we've been building toward. The world needs more compute. Centralized data centers can't scale fast enough. The next compute layer isn't a building - it's the world.

4 billion phones and PCs already built, already powered, already connected. Sitting idle. Earning nothing. IDLE Protocol turns all of it into a single distributed compute network. Contributors get paid in USDC on Solana every time their device completes a task.

Google just priced compute as the future. IDLE is the compute that already exists everywhere.

DePIN compute is a $1B+ sector.

Render - GPU rendering. Specialized hardware only. ~$1B market cap.
Akash - container deployments. Kubernetes required. ~$245M.
https://t.co/FAgppJprge - GPU clusters. Specific hardware required. ~$48M.

Every single one requires hardware most people don't have.

IDLE - any phone, laptop, or PC. Joins in 60 seconds. 17 task types. $10,000+ paid out to operators already.

The unlock is access.

Good news - X has removed the malicious actor's posts and revoked their access to @IdleProtocol.

We are now in the final stages of the recovery process and waiting for X support to restore our access. We will post immediately from @IdleProtocol the moment it is back in our hands.

Thank you for your patience throughout this.

(2/4) On RapidAPI, any developer on earth can now discover, test, and integrate IDLE compute the same way they discover any other API - search, click, get a key, ship in minutes. The same platform where millions of developers find Google Maps, Stripe, and AWS services. The same discovery layer that powers how the world builds software.

IDLE is now part of that ecosystem. 4 million developers. One search and IDLE shows up alongside the most trusted infrastructure on the internet.

The largest non-crypto developer audience in the world just got direct access to the most distributed compute network on Solana.

1/ IDLE x @Kimi_Moonshot K2.

Kimi K2.6 - Moonshot AI's 1 trillion parameter open-source model - is now live on the IDLE network via NVIDIA NIM.

1 trillion parameters. Ties GPT-5.5 on coding benchmarks. 80% cheaper per million tokens. Available right now on IDLE. 🧵

Anthropic just committed $50 billion to build new data centers across the United States. Custom built for AI workloads. Years of construction. Land permits. Thousands of jobs just to get started

But the next data center isn't a building. It's the world.

4 billion phones and PCs - already built, already powered, already connected. Sitting idle. Earning nothing. More distributed compute than any data center Anthropic will ever build. That's the infrastructure layer nobody is pricing in yet.

IDLE Protocol turns all of it into a single distributed compute network. AI agents submit tasks, idle devices execute them, contributors get paid in USDC on Solana. No land. No permits. No construction timeline.

And we're just getting started.

Distributed AI inference is live. Partner networks are live. On-chain analytics are verifiable by anyone. Every job that runs burns $IDLE permanently.

Anthropic is spending $50 billion to build new infrastructure. We're activating the infrastructure that already exists everywhere.
