PANews reported on December 11th that IO.NET, a decentralized AI computing and cloud platform, has released a simplified white paper (Litepaper) for its Incentive Dynamic Engine (IDE). IDE is a demand-driven token economic model for DePIN, replacing inflation-based token economic models. The white paper introduces a new token economic model designed specifically for io.net, relying on a unique dual-mode architecture to build a healthy and sustainable DePIN network—the Incentive Dynamic Engine (IDE).
Currently, there are 300 million IO tokens in circulation under the old incentive mechanism. One of IDE's goals is to gradually reduce at least 50% of these tokens to ensure a healthy and sustainable network. This white paper is part of an iterative process to gather community feedback. The initial feedback collection phase will begin on December 11, 2025, and end in February of the following year. The final lightweight white paper is planned for release on March 31, with implementation scheduled for the second quarter of 2026.
