Every round of bull market has a new narrative. As the saying goes, “Specialize in the new, not in the old.” And the most potential in this round is definitely the AI-related narrative. This AI craze has blown from Web2 to Web3 and various AI-related narratives. Projects are springing up one following another.
Among them, the shared GPU decentralized cloud computing project is even more popular among venture capital institutions. It combines the most traditional hardware mining gameplay of the blockchain and successfully uses the two concepts of Depin + AI to make the blockchain Chain decentralization can also keep up with the AI craze.
This week’s Cryptosnap Dr. DODO will introduce to you three early projects of GPU mining decentralized cloud computing that retail investors can also participate in. Let’s ride on this wave and participate together.
io.net
The first one to be introduced is io.net, a decentralized DePIN project based on Solana that focuses on providing GPU computing power to AI and machine learning companies.
Founded by Ahmad Shadid, it originated from his idea to reduce costs when building a GPU computing network for his machine learning quantitative trading company Dark Tick in 2020. After the launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Shadid realized that this network Lu can provide AI/ML companies with the large-scale computing power they need.
io.net aims to build the “Internet of GPUs” to solve the shortage of GPU computing power caused by the AI boom. The computing power of the platform can be used for parallel processing workloads such as model training, batch inference, superprime adjustment, and reinforcement learning. It brings together idle GPU resources from data centers, cryptocurrency miners and other idle GPU resources, and can automatically handle task scheduling, organizational planning and resource expansion.
This allows R&D teams to perform the required computing work on distributed computing resources without worrying regarding the limited availability, high costs, and poor setup choices that are common with public cloud services.
Recently, io.net launched a reward program called “Ignition”. From March 1 to April 28, points will be awarded based on the number of GPUs users supply to the network. For details on how to provide computing power, please refer to the official website. Document teaching.
Although the article does not clearly state whether the rewarded points can be redeemed for io.net’s platform token IO token, CEO Shadid said that IO token will be issued on April 28.

Gaimin
The second project to be introduced is also the DePIN cloud computing project running on the Solana chain – Gaimin, founded by the e-sports team gaimin gladiators team.
Different from io.net’s general-purpose GPU decentralized network, Gaimin starts from the gaming field and aims to combine cloud computing power and gaming platforms to build a dAPP that can also provide services such as game downloads and logins, and provide services such as game downloads and logins when idle. At the same time, you can rent out the GPU computing power of your own hardware to allow players to obtain additional rewards. Use the high-performance GPU computing power of most players to build a decentralized distributed supercomputing platform gaimin.cloud.
The platform can provide customers with data processing services such as film rendering, AI deep learning, and blockchain computing power. Gaimin announced its plan for an L2 game public chain last week. It will build an L2 public chain using opBNB Stack technology on BNB and cooperate with MovementLab to use Move technology to achieve a throughput of more than 150k TPS, reduced latency, and the lowest Gas costs and enhanced user experience for Web3 games.
In terms of tokens, players can already earn blind mining of $GMRX tokens by downloading and installing the Gaimin Windows application. For details, please refer to the Q&A on the official website. The tokens are not yet online yet and are expected to be released on 3/21 to 3/22. IDO fundraising on Seedify.
The exact token distribution is as shown below. Currently, the official Gaimin Gladiators NFT is launched. Holders can obtain $GMRX airdrops by staking the NFT on the Gaimin platform.

Heurist
The third project to be introduced is Heurist. Unlike the above two projects, Heurist is more community-based projects. Currently, the team background or capital financing has not been announced, so extra attention must be paid to security.
Heurist is an L2 public chain built on ZK Stack for AI model hosting and inference, leveraging ZK Stack’s scalability, customization, security, interoperability with other chains, and future-oriented architecture. , established a blockchain specifically optimized for AI model hosting and inference.
A decentralized AI infrastructure network has been implemented, and users can obtain AI model inference services such as text generation and image generation on a pay-per-use basis. The goal is to allow anyone to contribute resources or models and benefit from the open AI infrastructure network, thereby achieving decentralized and democratized access to AI. Any user can seamlessly integrate through the AI functions in Heurist into your own application.
Retail investors can earn or consume tokens $HUE by becoming network participants through their respective roles. For example, miners earn fees and token distribution by hosting AI models, model builders receive part of the user payment, and application developers receive a certain amount. Fee percentage, verification nodes are rewarded for checking data integrity.
The Heurist project is still in its early stages. Unlike io.net and Gaimin, Heurist is not a platform for renting out computing power. Instead, it uses users’ computing power to execute specific LLM learning models. Heurist is currently developing its incentivized test network. , and if you want to use its AI model services, you can apply for API access permission.

Author’s opinion
For readers who have idle GPU computing power and a small amount of funds, I think it is a good way to participate in such GPU mining projects. Currently, most mining in the currency circle is quite large, such as Blast or EigenLayer. It is quite difficult for small retail investors to make a profit by pledging ETH to obtain airdrop rewards. It is more like a game for big whales, while GPU mining is like the early POW chain, which has a small and large space.
The author believes that there will only be more and more projects of this type of Depin + AI computing power mining in the future this year. Everyone will definitely want to get involved with the most popular AI. Readers with small funds can look for more. This type of GPU mining project may get unexpected surprises.
