io.net

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.

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles io.net the way a machine reads it — 26 machine-readable artifacts across 8 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — io.net scores 22.4/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 10/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile io.net

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for io.net. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 8

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Security Posture 1

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
