io.net to launch first GPU-enabled decentralized computing network for AI

The concept of a de central ized cloud service refers to a system that operates on a distributed network of computers rather than relying on a central ized infrastructure. io.net has recently declared its objective of establishing the most extensive De central ized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) for Artificial Intelligence (AI) on a global scale.  io.net intends to address the scarcity of GPUs for AI processing by procuring one million units from independent computing power sources. During the course of its development, it will establish the first de central ized cloud environment specifically designed for machine learning, according to the latest information shared with Finbold on October 11. Since the rise of AI, GPU power has become an extremely valuable commodity. The price of training large-scale AI models has increased by roughly 3,100% annually, while demand for GPUs increases by a factor of 10 every 18 months.  This has resulted in higher prices and longer wa...

Zero-knowledge proofs coming to Bitcoin, overhauling network state validation

Zero-knowledge proofs have powered the development of Ethereum layer 2s — and now they’re coming to Bitcoin. Bitcoin (BTC) users will soon be able to make use of zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to expedite the process of verifying individual blocks and, eventually, the entire blockchain.  Swiss-based nonprofit ZeroSync Association is developing tooling which allows users to validate the state of the Bitcoin network without having to download the blockchain or trust a third party for verification. ZeroSync Association is an organization that was formed to develop and maintain open-source software that enables succinct zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) on the Bitcoin blockchain. The group makes use of StarkWare’s proprietary zero-knowledge Scalable Transparent Argument of Knowledge (zk-STARK) validity proofs to generate ZKPs for the Bitcoin network. The tool promises to overhaul the process of verifying the Bitcoin blockchain, which still requires node operators to download a large amount of d...
