IO.NET (IO) is a DePIN (decentralized physical infrastructure network) built on the Solana blockchain. It pools spare GPU computing power from various sources, such as data centers and crypto miners. This network provides cost-effective computational resources for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) tasks. By leveraging these distributed GPUs, IO.NET allows users to perform complex computations, such as parallel training and hyperparameter tuning, more affordably than using traditional centralized services.
IO.NET uses a dual token system with $IO and $IOSD tokens. $IO is the utility and governance token, while $IOSD rewards providers for their uptime and performance. This setup incentivizes participants to contribute their GPU resources to the network.
The platform is notable for its ability to create and manage large clusters of GPUs, whether they are co-located or geographically distributed, maintaining low latency for users. This makes it an attractive solution for AI/ML teams looking to reduce their computational costs.
