Inferix Announces Launch of "Supernode GPU Staking Mining Testnet 1" on IoTeX This January Inferix, a trailblazer in decentralized AI and blockchain solutions, has revealed plans to launch its "Supernode GPU Staking Mining Testnet 1" on January 2, 2025, leveraging the IoTeX blockchain. This ambitious initiative will focus on training AI models using high-performance GPUs, including NVIDIA’s H100, aiming to revolutionize how decentralized compute networks are utilized for AI applications. The testnet is designed to cater to two primary groups: AI builders and GPU owners. AI developers will have the opportunity to explore Inferix’s extensive compute network and deploy AI-powered decentralized applications (dApps) on the IoTeX blockchain. As a reward for their participation, developers will earn $IFX tokens, which will transition into mainnet tokens upon the testnet's completion. On the other hand, GPU owners can contribute their idle computing resources to support AI model training. By participating in the network, they too will earn $IFX tokens, creating an incentive structure that benefits both contributors and the broader ecosystem. The initiative not only taps into the underutilized potential of high-end GPUs but also aligns with the growing demand for decentralized AI infrastructure. Participants eager to join the testnet are advised to ensure they have a public IP address and a worker node that can be accessed via SSH. These technical requirements will allow seamless integration into the network and maximize the effectiveness of their contributions. This launch marks a significant milestone for Inferix, as it seeks to merge decentralized physical infrastructure with the power of AI. By utilizing IoTeX’s blockchain, which is renowned for its scalability and security, Inferix is poised to set a new standard for decentralized AI computing. The testnet officially goes live on January 2, 2025, inviting AI builders and GPU owners to be part of a pioneering effort in decentralized computing. Stay tuned for more updates as Inferix paves the way for a transformative future in AI and blockchain convergence.

IoTeX, a leading modular DePIN blockchain platform, is set to host a Demo Day for the first cohort of its DePIN Surf accelerator program on April 30, 2024. Launched in January 2024 with support from FutureMoneyGroup and ForesightX, the DePIN Surf accelerator is dedicated to supporting DePIN founders. DePIN, a technological paradigm, covers any web-3 application with a physical element, including edge-AI and virtual power plants. The first cohort, which was officially launched at the R3al World event at ETHDenver, features seven startups preparing for their Token Generation Event (TGE) and global launch. During the two-month program, founders receive a $50k investment and comprehensive support from the IoTeX core team and a group of elite mentors. The program includes workshops on raising series-A funding, DePIN tokenomics, and community management fundamentals, as well as presentations at global web-3 events. DePIN has been gaining traction in web-3 circles as a key to connecting the crypto industry with the global population of non-crypto natives who rely on reliable physical infrastructure. The number of DePIN projects has grown exponentially from less than a hundred in late 2022 to over a thousand at the time of writing. However, DePIN projects face challenges such as designing and executing hardware manufacturing and distribution, which can take several years, in addition to building the tech stack that includes firmware, middleware, and software. DePIN Surf provides these projects with the support they need. The projects presenting at the Demo Day include: - Inferix: A decentralized GPU computing platform for visual computing and AI inference, with a major market share in Southeast Asia, India, and other developing markets. - Wayru: The world's first DePIN to partner with the UN to tackle the global connectivity crisis, using blockchain and the $WAYRU token to incentivize hotspot deployment and management. - PowerPod: A decentralized EV charging network providing reliable and accessible charging solutions for electric vehicles worldwide. - Network3: A dedicated AI layer-2 providing services to AI developers, helping them train and validate models quickly and efficiently. - StarPower: An AI and Web3-powered global energy network connecting devices in energy generation, storage, and consumption scenarios. - ATOR: A privacy protocol creating a safer, private layer for the internet through its DePIN routing network and signature hardware and software SDK. - DePHY: A decentralized off-chain data messaging network designed to empower DePIN projects to deploy faster and cheaper. IoTeX is a modular Web3 infrastructure platform connecting smart devices and real-world data to blockchains, enabling developers to integrate Web3 into everyday life through various innovations. With the launch of W3bstream, IoTeX has become a leading Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) technology provider, connecting billions of smart devices, machines, and sensors across the physical and digital world.
