Decentralized GPU cloud aggregating idle compute for AI workloads.
1 trillion tokens processed. Yes, trillion. No inflated narratives. No billion-dollar budgets. No gigawatt campus. Just GPU capacity, switched on and put to work. Thank you to every builder who made it happen. The next trillion comes faster. https://t.co/yUSfZhTUPf
https://io.net/blog/how-to-avoid-gpu-vendor-lock-in-the-hidden-tax-on-your-ai-infrastructure
Lock-in isn’t on your invoice. But it’s built into most GPU cloud contracts. It’s the 40 TB egress bill, the multi-year terms with penalty clauses, the single provider with no fallback. At 50 H100 hours a day: $44,820/yr locked in at typical neocloud rates vs. $26,820 on-demand. The lock-in tax is real. And so is the exit. http://io.net changes the architecture, so you don’t pay it.

23,000 GPUs. One flagship data centre. And Microsoft just pulled out because the grid can’t deliver the power until the 2030s. Money can buy chips and customers, but it can’t speed up a grid connection. That’s why distributed compute is so important. That’s what @ionet was built for.
Community celebrates io.net's 1 trillion requests milestone and appreciates its decentralized GPU marketplace approach as a cost-effective alternative to centralized cloud providers, with genuine users highlighting improved pricing, lower egress fees, and flexible on-demand access.
IO Intelligence at @ionet has crossed 1 trillion requests processed. Getting here also meant closing two launch ready products - BC8 and Quantum Agents, and shelving a mobile app. We had to choose where to put our focus. Last year, we were running Cyber Monday campaigns to make B2C subscriptions work. We ran hackathons across Asia and Eastern Europe and tried products from agent creation to training as a service. Several attempts did not find enough traction. We gradually focused on reaching developers inside the tools they already used. That meant partnerships with vibe coding platforms and becoming an inference provider in tools such as @goose_oss. On @OpenRouter, we went from roughly 500 million daily tokens in March to 20 billion. We also became a day zero launch partner for leading open model labs. Two engineers have carried much of the work on integrations, tool calling, serving costs and reliability while the workloads kept changing. Many others helped us get here. Some are still at https://t.co/SmZnjVMjBZ. Others have moved on. Their contributions are still part of what we build on, and this milestone belongs to them too. Congratulations to the team, past and present. Thank you to the partners and developers who supported us when progress was harder to see. Before https://t.co/SmZnjVMjBZ, I thought product market fit was the point where things would settle down. Now I understand how much doubt comes before it, and how a new model or price change can reopen questions you thought you had answered. Growing usage does not make those questions go away.
@Raj_TheBUIDLer @ionet 1 trillion requests is a big achievment Congrats to the https://t.co/Lmoj4mZfzq team for staying focuse learning from mistakes, and making IO Intelligence grow The journey is just getting started
Наприклад, @ionet збирає тисячі GPU по всьому світу і дає: → значно нижчі ціни → нульові або мінімальні egress → on-demand без довгих зобов’язань
Spotlighting @ionet, which runs a decentralized GPU network for AI training and inference and offers io.intelligence for deploying agent workflows. Their profile poster looks sharp: https://t.co/bhgx8hjxKa https://t.co/NQjcD3s6rV
@Raj_TheBUIDLer @ionet 1 Trillion achieved 🙏 it’s still beginning
تقييد العقود مو بالفاتورة، بس مبني بعقود الـ GPU! من رسوم نقل البيانات الخيالية لـ40TB إلى الشروط الجزائية. 50 ساعة H100 يومياً تكلفك 44,820$ سنوياً بعقودهم.. مقابل 26,820$ بحسب الطلب ضريبة الاحتكار حقيقية، و @ionet تغير البنية عشان ما تدفعها #io $io
io.net is a decentralized GPU network built on Solana that pools idle compute from tens of thousands of suppliers across 138 countries and rents it out for AI training, inference and other compute-heavy workloads. Data centers, crypto miners and individuals contribute GPUs through IO Worker; customers rent clusters on demand through IO Cloud, typically for less than traditional cloud providers charge.
On top of raw compute, IO Intelligence gives developers access to pre-trained models and AI agents through a single API, and IO Staking lets suppliers and token holders post collateral that backs the network's reliability.
The IO token has a hard cap of 800 million: 500 million were allocated at launch, and 300 million are released as rewards over about 20 years. On June 11, 2026, io.net replaced its fixed emission schedule with the Incentive Dynamic Engine (IDE). Suppliers are now paid toward a stable dollar target, only as much IO as needed is released at the live price, and once supplier payouts are covered, at least half of any surplus is used to buy back and burn IO. The goal is to retire at least 115 million of the roughly 231 million reward tokens still to be emitted.
io.net has also been signing enterprise customers, including an $8M contract worth about $650K a month.
