**APIs profiled:** 8

io.net is a decentralized GPU network for AI compute, built on Solana, that aggregates idle consumer and data-center GPUs (NVIDIA A100, H100, H200, and Blackwell-class) into on-demand, geo-distributed compute clusters orchestrated with the Ray framework. The platform exposes a Web3-native alternative to hyperscaler GPU cloud through several developer-facing surfaces: IO Intelligence (an OpenAI-compatible inference API for 15+ open-source models including Llama 3.3 70B), IO Cloud (Container-as-a-Service and VM-as-a-Service APIs for deploying GPU containers, Ray clusters, Kubernetes clusters, and bare-metal instances), IO Agents (agent and agentic-workflow APIs), IO Explorer (a network analytics API for devices, clusters, and block rewards), IO Worker (the supplier-side onboarding stack), IO ID (the account/wallet hub), and IO Staking. Confidential Compute on Intel TDX-enabled H100/H200/B200 GPUs and a remote attestation service for Intel TDX and NVIDIA H200 confidential VMs round out the security surface. The IO token is an SPL token on Solana used for settlement, staking, and rewards; fiat and USDC payments are accepted and converted to IO. io.net also publishes an MCP server at mcp.io.solutions for agent-driven cluster provisioning. The platform's tagline is "the open-source AI infrastructure platform" and its commercial pitch is AI compute at 50–70% below comparable hyperscaler rates.
