io.net's 2025: $4M+ saved across 5 case studies, 320K GPUs in 138 countries, 21 partnerships, and a tokenomics redesign. What happens when infrastructure stops being the constraint.
The Incentive Dynamic Engine (IDE) is a new way of thinking about tokenomics that ties the supply of $IO directly to how much people are actually using the network.
The page explains that GPU clouds were built for training and batch inference rather than always-on AI agents, and discusses infrastructure needs for agentic workloads.
The page says Akash Network launched in 2020 as a marketplace for spare CPU and storage capacity and now supports GPUs, while noting limitations of its CPU-first, container-focused architecture.
The page compares io.net, Akash, and Render Network, which use underused resources, and describes io.net’s focus on affordable, scalable GPU power for AI and machine learning.
