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. ➡️ explorer.io.net/explorer/trans…

When we started io.net, the goal was simple. We wanted to build infrastructure that makes AI compute more accessible, scalable, and efficient for everyone, everywhere. io.net 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.

@blockchainbalak @ionet @Gaurav_ionet Welcome on board sir 🫡

I've joined @ionet I'll be leading Strategic Sales & Supply. GPU infrastructure, AI compute, and making io.net the default GPU for enterprises & users. Massive thanks to @Gaurav_ionet, @Basem_IO & Dustin for having me. Couldn't be more fired up.

GLM 5.1 from @Zai_org just dropped on @OpenRouter . io.net 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 io.net ☀️ 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. Check it out → io.net

@Raj_TheBUIDLer The future is DIY ser

On Monday I had a simple question: "If Strait of Hormuz remains closed, what happens to my electricity bill in India?" By Thursday it was live: howwarimpactsyou.com The hard part was not the site. It was building a model that could connect: Oil shock 🛢️→ Shipping 🚢→ Currency pressure 💵→ Import exposure 🛒→ Consumer impact 🍽️ …without pretending to know more than it does. That’s where the real work went. A few years ago, this probably turns into a doc, multiple planning discussions, and a long build cycle. Now you can turn a live question into a live product while the idea still has energy. That changes the job. And in the spirit of open source, I have open sourced the code too: github.com/raj-builder/Ho… The leverage is not that AI tools replace product thinking. It’s that the distance from idea to product just got a lot shorter. I did challenge a few of my friends to try vibe coding something they are thinking about. P.S: I also made two games for my kid in the same time period, do try them too😅🦖 P.P.S: All of this is intended from a learning standpoint and not for any commerical use.

@Oil_Jamesx May Allah bless your heart.

@Eli5defi Happy birthday to them 🎉

Guys, my twin kids have a birthday today, so I’ll be mostly logged off until tonight. But I’ve already scheduled posts for today. It’s Black Monday, so take some time off and enjoy time with your fam. Take care ♥️

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. 🕊️

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. ➡️ openrouter.ai/provider/io-net

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

@ionet @OpenRouter you’re only providing GLM-4.7 tough need to add GLM-5 and Kimi k2.5 for real interest

Here's something to get excited about. @ionet is now a provider for @OpenRouter! This brings decentralized GPU clusters to the world’s most flexible AI API. It will deliver faster, cheaper, and more accessible model inference for teams everywhere. - Lower costs - Scalable compute - One point of access Check it out at: openrouter.ai/provider/io-net

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. techradar.com/pro/barely-any…

@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.

0/ A personal update I have decided to step back from @multicoin. It's a bittersweet moment for me because my time at Multicoin has been some of the most meaningful and rewarding of my life. That said, I am excited to take some time off and explore new areas of technology. After nearly a decade in crypto, I’m more confident than ever that crypto is going to fundamentally rewire the circuitry of finance. I believe the Clarity Act will unlock a tidal wave of new entrants and spur adoption unlike anything we’ve seen. I remain bullish on crypto, specifically Solana, and intend to continue making personal investments in the space and supporting Multicoin portfolio companies. Moreover, I will continue to serve on the board of @zama, and I will continue in my role as Chairman at Forward Industries (@FWDind). More on Forward in next tweet. It goes without saying that I also remain bullish on Multicoin. My partners @tushar_jain, Brian Smith, @johnrobertreed, @mattshap1, @xethalis, @SpencerApplebau, and @shayonsengupta are some of the best investors and operators in the world. I am excited for them to continue to drive the crypto ecosystem and Multicoin forward for many years to come. To all of our portfolio founders, LPs, and industry partners—thank you for the opportunity to work with you. For reference, here is the letter we shared with LPs today drive.google.com/file/d/1bsoabi…

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. io.net/blog/gpu-clust…

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.

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. Read more: io.net/blog/glm-4-7-n…

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.
