TechFlow Insights
io.net is a decentralized computing network that supports developing, executing, and scaling ML (machine learning) applications on the Solana blockchain, leveraging the world's largest GPU clusters to enable machine learning engineers to access distributed cloud computing power at a fraction of the cost of centralized services. io.net engages users and compute providers through three products to enhance user experience: IO Cloud—a platform for deploying and managing decentralized GPU clusters; IO Worker—providing users with real-time insights into their computing resources, offering operational control and an overview of connected devices so they can monitor them and perform quick actions such as removing or renaming devices; IO Explorer—offering a window into the network’s inner workings, providing full visibility into network activity, key statistics, data points, and reward transactions.
IO is the native and protocol token of the io.net network. The token serves two primary utilities:
IO will serve as the primary payment method within the io.net ecosystem, such as paying for GPU deployment fees. Additionally, every model deployed on io.net must conduct a small IO transaction to perform inference. IO tokens are also used to reward GPU contributors.
