Ionet is a decentralized AI computing and cloud platform built on the Solana blockchain, designed to democratize access to computational resources. By aggregating GPU and CPU power from underutilized sources globally, Ionet creates a network that provides affordable and scalable computing power for AI and machine learning tasks. This model significantly reduces costs compared to traditional centralized providers like AWS and Google Cloud, making high-performance computing more accessible.
The project has seen rapid growth, with over 120,000 users contributing GPU power to the network. Ionet's decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) taps into the power of independent data centers, crypto miners, and projects like Render and Filecoin, offering up to 90% cheaper GPU clusters. This growth is driven by the increasing demand for decentralized AI computing solutions, which address the limitations of existing centralized services.
In a recent Series A funding round, Ionet raised $30 million, achieving a $1 billion valuation. The funds will be used to expand their team and enhance their infrastructure to meet growing demand. Ionet also plans to launch its native token, IO, to provide a unified transaction experience and incentivize network participation, further supporting its decentralized computing ecosystem .
