By the way, we’ve been building Conduit for weeks now. We saw another team working in a similar direction. Whether they started before us or not, it confirmed what we already believed: The compute + machine economy is going to be massive. But Conduit is not just “earn from idle infrastructure.” There’s a key difference: Idle = earn from unused hardware Conduit = earn from machine capabilities + autonomous demand Idle is closer to a distributed compute harvesting network. You provide spare resources: • CPU • GPU • bandwidth • storage • uptime Unused hardware gets routed into workloads, and the user gets paid for spare capacity. Conduit operates at a different layer. Conduit lets users expose callable machine capabilities: • APIs • agents • inference endpoints • OCR • automation tools • relays • workflows • GPU endpoints • execution infrastructure Autonomous systems can then discover those capabilities, pay for them, and compose them into workflows. Conduit is monetizing: • capability access • execution • routing • coordination • settlement • relay participation Not just idle CPU or GPU cycles. The easiest way to explain it: • Idle rents unused machines. • Conduit turns machines into autonomous economic actors. That is the layer we’re building for.
GM GN I really liked the idea behind the project. @IdleProtocol is a Solana-based protocol that turns idle resources (GPUs, AI agents, spare compute) into paid API endpoints inside a DePIN network.They’ve launched a deflationary $IDLE token mechanism: 10% of every network transaction fee is automatically swapped for $IDLE via Jupiter and burned in real time on the open market.The project is heavily integrating AI agents, processes thousands of tasks daily, and attracts users mainly from emerging markets who earn in USDC by supplying compute.“The flywheel is simple: Agents buy compute → payments settle in USDC → 10% auto-swaps to $IDLE and burns hourly on the open market.” @IdleProtocol Let me know if you want a deeper dive (tokenomics, how to participate, current stats, etc.).
