Tianrong Launches DEPINfer, a Decentralized AI Compute Platform on Solana

New cloud-based GPU sharing platform aims to expand access to AI infrastructure

Mar. 17, 2026 at 2:58pm

Tianrong Internet Products and Services Inc. (OTC: TIPS) has announced the beta launch of its DEPINfer website, a decentralized AI inference marketplace powered by the $DEPIN token on the Solana blockchain. DEPINfer allows users to contribute excess GPU resources and developers to access scalable, on-demand AI compute workloads.

Why it matters

The global AI infrastructure market is projected to reach $1.36 trillion by 2026, with growing demand for AI compute. DEPINfer aims to address constraints in centralized data center capacity by offering a decentralized alternative that may deliver cost efficiencies and expand access to compute resources.

The details

The DEPINfer Beta introduces a cloud-based GPU compute sharing platform that integrates with the io.net infrastructure layer. During this initial phase, participants can whitelist, refer GPU providers, stake $DEPIN, and experience real-world inference workloads. The platform is designed to support early-stage community growth and onboarding ahead of the planned rollout of the proprietary DEPINfer marketplace within the next four weeks.

  • The DEPINfer Beta was officially launched on March 17, 2026.
  • The company plans to roll out the full DEPINfer marketplace within the next four weeks.
