Tianrong Internet Products and Services Inc. announced the successful graduation of the DEPIN token for the Depinfer project from its incubation program, marking the completion of Depinfer's first phase of decentralized deployment. The token debuted on the Solana blockchain via Raydium on February 17, 2026, generating significant early trading activity during its initial 22 hours. According to publicly available DEX data, the token recorded 2,229 total transactions with approximately $192,000 in total trading volume, including $95,000 in buy volume across 1,233 buy transactions from 539 unique buyers and $96,000 in sell volume across 996 sell transactions from 517 sellers.
Depinfer is a decentralized GPU compute-sharing platform designed to enable participants to contribute idle GPU resources to a distributed global network. The protocol facilitates AI inference and compute workloads while rewarding contributors with DEPIN tokens. Phase I focused on building a scalable peer-to-peer GPU infrastructure and integrating with Solana's high-speed ecosystem to ensure efficient transaction settlement and token distribution. The initial pooled reserves included 647,541,061 DEPIN tokens and 33.74 SOL, with the smart contract independently reviewed and no material issues reported at launch.

The token achieved a fully diluted valuation and market capitalization of approximately $4,300 with liquidity of approximately $5,600, attracting 562 unique market participants during the initial trading period.
Management believes the successful token graduation and initial trading performance demonstrate early market validation for decentralized physical infrastructure network models, particularly in the GPU compute segment where demand for AI inference capacity continues to expand. This development represents a significant step in making distributed computing resources more accessible while creating economic incentives for GPU owners to contribute to a global computational network.
Following Phase I completion, Depinfer intends to advance to Phase II development, which will focus on expanding decentralized GPU node participation, implementing dynamic resource allocation for AI workloads, strengthening data privacy and security protocols, and establishing strategic relationships with AI developers and compute-intensive enterprises. By leveraging underutilized GPU capacity worldwide, Depinfer seeks to offer cost-efficient alternatives to centralized cloud compute providers while improving access to AI infrastructure for startups, researchers, and enterprise users.
