io.net partners with Matchain to democratize decentralized AI infrastructure with affordable GPU access

io.net, the decentralized GPU network, is solidifying its position as a leader in decentralized computing. Just weeks after joining forces with GAIB to enhance GPU access for AI computing, io.net has announced a strategic partnership with Matchain, a blockchain platform focused on decentralized AI identification.

Today, io.net announced its collaboration with Matchain to make decentralized AI infrastructure more accessible by providing affordable GPU resources. As Matchain’s compute partner, io.net will deliver GPU infrastructure to support applications across Matchain’s ecosystem, enabling developers to focus on building innovative solutions without the burden of complex infrastructure management.

Affordable GPU Access for Developers

The partnership gives Matchain projects access to io.net’s decentralized GPU clusters, which are offered at significantly lower costs compared to traditional cloud providers. This makes high-performance computing more attainable for developers working on resource-intensive AI applications, aligning with both companies’ goals of advancing AI and blockchain innovation.

Supporting AI and Web3 Innovation

Through this collaboration, Matchain’s blockchain technology will be paired with io.net’s decentralized GPU network, enabling cost-efficient training, deployment, and scaling of AI models. Developers and entrepreneurs using Matchain will gain partner-specific access to GPU infrastructure tailored to their needs.

“Our mission is to empower AI-driven innovation in decentralized ecosystems. Collaborating with io.net enhances our ability to provide developers with high-performance, cost-effective infrastructure for building next-generation applications. This partnership underscores our commitment to leveraging advanced technology for scalable and secure data solutions, enabling builders to push the boundaries of what’s possible in Web3,” Jessie Xiao, Chief Commercial Officer of Matchain, said.

Expanding Capabilities for Decentralized Applications

By integrating Matchain’s AI-enabled blockchain with io.net’s GPU clusters, the partnership will empower developers to create decentralized applications in fields like identity and data management. This combined offering aims to accelerate the development of decentralized AI applications.

Founded in late 2023, io.net is a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) that manages on-demand GPU clusters. Originally created to meet the growing demand for computing power in stock and cryptocurrency trading, io.net has since evolved into a massive network of over 25,000 nodes. This innovative setup offers a scalable alternative to traditional cloud services, reducing both costs and lead times for AI and machine learning projects.

Matchain, on the other hand, specializes in decentralized AI-driven identity solutions. Its blockchain supports data and identity sovereignty, utilizing AI for data aggregation and analytics. The platform provides developers with tools for creating advanced decentralized identity and data management systems.

This partnership underscores the growing synergy between decentralized computing and blockchain technology, paving the way for practical solutions in AI and Web3 development.
