Tianrong Internet Products and Services Inc. (OTC: TIPS) has provided an operational update following the February 17, 2026 launch of the DEPIN token for its Depinfer project on the Solana blockchain. The DEPIN token successfully graduated from incubation and completed Phase I decentralized deployment, with the DEPIN/SOL trading pair remaining active on decentralized exchanges since launch, reflecting continued market engagement and community participation.
Depinfer is a decentralized GPU compute-sharing protocol designed to enable participants to contribute idle GPU resources to a distributed network supporting AI inference and compute workloads. The protocol aggregates underutilized hardware capacity from independent operators and facilitates marketplace-based allocation of compute jobs, with rewards distributed in DEPIN tokens and company reward tokens paired with DEPIN. Management believes early trading activity and community growth provide initial validation for the decentralized physical infrastructure network model within the GPU compute segment, where global demand for AI-related processing continues to expand. The DEPIN/SOL trading pair can be viewed on DEX Screener at https://dexscreener.com/solana/8bdudryzbhtf2ckm2wcpm27scljvyzrahpbp6rz4kf1h.
Following completion of the initial bonding curve phase, liquidity transitioned to Raydium automated market maker pools, with the associated liquidity pool locked in accordance with the project's security framework. The DEPIN token functions as the utility mechanism for marketplace transactions, node incentives, reward token pairing, and future governance features. With Phase I deployment complete, Depinfer is advancing to Phase II development, which is expected to focus on integration with additional AI frameworks and developer tools, implementation of dynamic workload allocation and pricing mechanisms, introduction of staking and governance features, continued enhancement of data privacy and network security protocols, and new custom and reward token pairs and launches.
The Company expects Phase II to complete by the end of March 2026, emphasizing infrastructure scaling, marketplace functionality, and ecosystem development while maintaining a community-oriented governance structure. Project supporters interested in testing the beta rollout of coming governance and marketplace features, or gaining priority for early participation in new custom and reward token launches, can register by becoming DEPIN token holders on Raydium. Depinfer leverages the Solana blockchain's high-throughput architecture to facilitate low-cost, high-speed settlement for decentralized compute transactions. Management believes decentralized GPU aggregation may offer an alternative infrastructure model in markets experiencing compute constraints and rising AI processing demand.
TIPS will continue to provide advisory, technical, and strategic support to the Depinfer initiative as it advances through subsequent development phases.
