IO.NET plans to implement a demand-driven token economic model "IDE" in Q2 of next year, and has now released a Litepaper

According to official news, the decentralized artificial intelligence computing and cloud platform IO.NET has released a simplified version of the Incentive Dynamic Engine (IDE) white paper (Litepaper). IDE is a demand-driven token economic model aimed at DePIN, designed to replace the inflation-based token economic model.

The white paper introduces a new type of token economic model specifically designed for io.net, which relies on a unique dual-mode system to build a healthy and sustainable DePIN network, namely the Incentive Dynamic Engine (IDE). Currently, the number of IO tokens in circulation under the old incentive mechanism is 300 million, and one of the goals of IDE is to gradually reduce at least 50% of these tokens to ensure the network's health and sustainable development.

The white paper is part of an iterative process to collect community feedback. The initial phase of feedback collection will begin on December 11, 2025, and end in February of the following year. The final lightweight white paper is scheduled to be released on March 31, and implementation will take place in the second quarter of 2026.
