Tianrong Internet Products and Services Inc. (OTC: TIPS) announced the Beta launch of its DEPINfer website at https://www.depinfer.xyz, marking a significant step in developing a decentralized AI inference marketplace. The platform leverages the Solana blockchain for near-zero transaction fees and high throughput, integrating with io.net to provide production-ready compute through decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN).
The DEPINfer Beta enables users worldwide to contribute excess GPU resources while allowing developers and enterprises to access scalable, on-demand AI inference workloads. Participants can now whitelist, refer GPU providers, stake $DEPIN, and experience real-world inference workloads during this initial phase. The Beta focuses on validating referral mechanics, onboarding GPU contributors, and demonstrating the pay-to-earn-govern utility model of $DEPIN ahead of the planned rollout of a proprietary front-end marketplace within four weeks.
This development addresses a critical need in the AI infrastructure market, which is projected to reach approximately $1.36 trillion by 2026. Demand for AI compute is expected to increase significantly through 2030, creating constraints in centralized data center capacity. Decentralized GPU networks like DEPINfer offer scalable alternatives that may deliver meaningful cost efficiencies while expanding access to compute resources for developers, startups, and enterprise users.
Current offerings during the Beta phase include GPU compute sharing that enables providers to earn $DEPIN and additional incentives, an integrated referral system with whitelist access and early adopter rewards, compatibility with open-source AI frameworks, and marketplace transactions using $DEPIN with near-instant settlement via Solana. Planned features include staking functionality with platform fees allocated to incentives, buybacks, and token burns, along with governance participation for token holders.
The $DEPIN token, currently available on Raydium, serves as the platform's native utility and liquidity token. Project supporters interested in testing Beta features or gaining priority for early participation can register by becoming DEPIN token holders on Raydium through https://dexscreener.com/solana/8BDudRYzBhTf2CkM2WcpM27sCLjVYzRaHpBP6rZ4KF1h.
Initial Beta phase targets for the next 30 days include 1,000 user sign-ups and community activations, 200+ active GPU providers onboarded, and 10,000+ GPU compute hours utilized. Following the marketplace launch in approximately four weeks, targets expand to 10,000+ total users, expansion of provider network and infrastructure capacity, and 100,000+ monthly GPU compute hours.
By combining Solana's speed and scalability, io.net's compute infrastructure, and $DEPIN's utility-driven tokenomics, DEPINfer aims to establish a decentralized sharing economy for AI infrastructure. The platform represents a convergence of blockchain technology and AI development, potentially reshaping how computational resources are allocated and accessed globally.
