Idle

$IDLE is now live on Solana. AjLhrxN2yrCe45Y2KGPMZCkBm6NpN43jWqPkdZq6pump 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. earnidle.com/token

Major Upgrade: Dynamic Pricing Engine - Live Now IDLE Protocol's compute marketplace just got its biggest infrastructure upgrade since launch. We've shipped a real-time dynamic pricing engine that fundamentally changes how compute is priced across the network. Instead of flat-rate pricing, every job is now priced dynamically based on four signals: ☑️ Network demand - when agent traffic spikes, rates adjust upward to incentivize more providers to come online. When demand drops, rates compress so agents aren't overpaying for idle capacity. ☑️ Node availability - the protocol continuously monitors how many nodes are active and ready. Scarcity drives rates up. Surplus drives them down. Supply and demand, resolved at the protocol level. ☑️ Task complexity - not all compute is equal. A lightweight scrape costs less than a full browser render or an inference-heavy pipeline. The pricing engine now scores task complexity before assignment and prices accordingly. ☑️ Historical reliability - nodes with higher completion rates and faster execution times earn a premium. Unreliable nodes get discounted. This creates a quality incentive loop where the best providers are rewarded automatically. For providers: you earn more when the network needs you most. No more leaving money on the table during peak hours. For agents: you pay fair market rate every time. Off-peak jobs cost less. The protocol ensures you're never overpaying for capacity that's sitting idle. The pricing engine runs entirely on-chain. No manual intervention. No admin overrides. The market sets the price, the protocol enforces it, and USDC settles on Solana via x402 - all in a single HTTP request. This is the foundation for what comes next. Dynamic pricing unlocks features we've been holding back — tiered SLAs, priority queuing, and reserved capacity blocks for enterprise agents. More soon. Read more: idleprotocol.com/developers/api

@PayAINetwork Great work!

🧵Under the hood In past weeks we've written about MPP mechanics, agent trust, and how x402 turns APIs into products. The PayAI SDK ships soon. Here's what's inside👇

@therealchaseeb Hey Chase - please DM us, thanks.

WOW

The $IDLE flywheel is live. Here's how it works and why it compounds over time. Every time an AI agent calls an IDLE gateway - network requests, data processing, verification jobs, inference tasks - it pays in USDC. 85% goes to the node operator instantly. 10% auto-swaps to $IDLE on Jupiter and burns it. 5% funds development. Automated, every hour. We're at 1,214,271 $IDLE burned already. But here's the long term thesis. AI agents are multiplying. Every agent needs compute, data, bandwidth to operate. Right now they buy it from AWS, Google Cloud, centralized providers that extract maximum margin and give nothing back to the people running the infrastructure. IDLE is the alternative. A distributed network of real people's PCs, wallets, and APIs - monetized through x402 payments on Solana. The more agents that exist, the more demand flows through IDLE. The more demand, the more burns. The more burns, the smaller the supply. The agent economy is projected to hit $1.7T by 2030. Every dollar of that economy needs compute to run. We built the supply side. Watch the burns live: earnidle.com/token

$IDLE burns are live and trackable. 1,021,865 $IDLE burned so far - every hour, 10% of protocol fees auto-swap via Jupiter and burn. Track it live at earnidle.com/token Burned all-time: 1,021,865 Burn value: $112.41 Staking is coming. Hold $IDLE to earn a higher revenue split on your node earnings: - Silver (10K $IDLE) → 87% - Gold (50K $IDLE) → 90% - Diamond (250K $IDLE) → 95% The more the network earns, the more gets burned. The more you stake, the more you keep.

@WhodaDoge @colosseum @solanamobile Absolutely - in the works. 🤝

@IdleProtocol @colosseum Any intent on building for @solanamobile? Would be perfect for all the Seeker users.

We're excited to announce IDLE Protocol for the @colosseum Frontier Hackathon. With IDLE, any agent can submit compute jobs to a distributed network of real devices. No infrastructure to manage. No servers to provision. Just submit the task and get the result. Agent submits: "Run inference on this dataset and return the output" A node claims the job, executes it on real hardware, and returns the result. Settled in USDC. Network requests, data processing, verification jobs, inference tasks - anything that needs CPU, GPU, or bandwidth on a real device. Distributed compute + Pay.sh gateway + USDC settlement. The infrastructure layer for agentic compute is live.

We're excited to announce our partnership with @useNuero to power their compute layer. Starting today, every compute task that runs through Nuero - network requests, data processing, verification jobs, inference tasks, anything that needs CPU, GPU, or bandwidth on a real device - gets routed directly to the IDLE node network. Executed in real time, settled in USDC. This is what we've been building toward. IDLE was never just a passive earning layer. It's infrastructure. When an AI agent needs something checked, fetched, or verified, it shouldn't spin up a server. It should submit a job to a distributed network and let a node handle it. That's what this partnership makes possible. Nuero is the first AI agent to plug into IDLE's compute network, but the architecture is open. Any agent, app, or protocol can submit tasks through the same gateway. The demand side is now live and proven. This is just the first integration. For node operators - agent-submitted tasks flow into the same queue your node already pulls from. More integrations means more demand, more tasks, more USDC. If you're running a node, you're already earning from this. This is a major milestone. The network has real demand from real agents serving real users. Both sides are live today.

IDLE Mobile Node is live. Your phone can now earn USDC for you. Open earnidle[dot]com/node in any mobile browser - Safari, Chrome, whatever you have. One tab. That's it. Your device picks up micro-tasks from the IDLE network: API health checks, content verification, link validation, HTTP fetches. Small jobs that take seconds. Each one pays out in USDC. On Android, install as an app and it runs in the background. Earnings hit your Solana wallet automatically every few minutes. No account to create. No minimum balance. You paste your wallet address, tap start, and it runs.

We'd love to hear your feedback on what we're building - AI agents need compute, and it's expensive. IDLE turns that into income for everyone. Your phone, PC, or wallet sits idle, IDLE puts it to work running tasks for AI agents. Health checks, content verification, data fetching. You earn USDC, they get cheap distributed compute. We've also submitted our provider spec to the Pay sh registry!

@mdudas What’s a competitive product that’s live that I can promote?

extremely risky for l1's to aggressively try to make winners with capital, co-marketing and privileged technical support rather than amplify organic winners

@Zero2Moon_Guy 🤝
