Inferix โ€“ the first AI-DePIN to deploy natively on IoTeX

We're thrilled to announce that Inferix GPU, a DePIN pioneer from our DePINSurf accelerator program (cohort 1), is launching their token ($IFX) on the IoTeX Network. Inferix is a leader in 3D rendering and AI inference using crowdsourced consumer GPUs.

Inferix โ€“ the first AI-DePIN to deploy natively on IoTeX

DePIN's strength lies in its ability to leverage communities to meet resource demands. Take AI, for example. Data-hungry models require immense computing power, and high-powered GPUs are becoming increasingly scarce.

Enter Inferix: a leader in 3D rendering and AI inference using crowdsourced consumer GPUs. Inferix's solution is a perfect example of DePIN's potential. They tap into a global network of decentralized GPUs, solving the compute power bottleneck for AI, one of DePIN's killer use cases.

We're thrilled to announce that Inferix GPU, a DePIN pioneer from our DePINSurf accelerator program (cohort 1), is launching their token ($IFX) on the IoTeX Network.

Inferix, which was founded out of House3D, has tens of thousands of users in Vietnam alone and is expanding globally to India and other major markets. Our teams have been working closely in recent months, hashing out tokenomics, business models, and marketing strategies to ensure Inferix's global launch is success. Following their debut at R3al World at ETHDenver, the entire crypto space is buzzing about compute-focused DePIN. The $INF token launch next month marks the next exciting phase for Inferix within the DePIN ecosystem.

Inferix founder Freddie Nguyen says,

"IoTeX is a mature L1 blockchain for DePIN, offering an easy-to-use SDK. It collaboratively supports ecosystem projects like Inferix in both technical and growth activities. The DePIN Surf Accelerator presents a great opportunity to connect with VCs and assists us in global market expansion."

What is Inferix?

Inferix is a decentralized GPU computing platform for visual computing including 3D modeling, as well as VR and AI. Founded by House3D founder Freddie Nguyen, Inferix has a major market share in Vietnam and is expanding globally to India and other major markets. Their primary target market is 3d designers using all major rendering engines, including Blender Cycles, Vray, D5, Omniverse, and OctaneRender.

In addition to their design rendering solution, which makes the impossible possible for a global talent pool of designers who can't afford a dedicated in-house GPU setup, Inferix's VR engine is potential game changer. By drastically lowering the barrier to entry for designers by abstracting away development complexity and reducing costs to the point where you can render 3D models on any home PC, what might take days or even weeks to render without Inferix, can be accomplished in just a few minutes for just a few dollars.

But Inferix's ambitions don't end there. They are developing an AI inference solution to leverage their GPU network to increase humanity's intelligence. This has the potential to revolutionize various fields, from scientific research and drug discovery to personalized medicine and beyond.

Riding the DePIN Surf Wave

Inferix is a member of DePIN Surf cohort 1. DePIN Surf is the industryโ€™s first DePIN-focused accelerator built by IoTeX in partnership with FutureMoneyGroup and ForesightX. Cohort 1 launched at ETHDenver, 2024 and features eight elite seed stage projects preparing for their global network launches. The accelerator deploys $50k directly into each company while connecting founders with the largest DePIN VC network in the world to hit their fundraising goals.

DePIN Surf specializes in helping seed stage DePIN founders fundraise and exponentially grow their communities. Above all, joining the accelerator means joining a trusted community of founder peers that helps everyone to go faster together. Cohort 2 applications are open now.
