ME News reports that on May 12 (UTC+8), AI lab Dolphin tweeted that the Dolphin Network employs a Peer-to-Pool architecture to reuse idle GPUs, with each model running within a GPU pool and tasks assigned randomly to nodes without direct buyer-seller binding. Nodes receive POD token rewards from the protocol treasury solely based on the number of inference tokens processed. Users purchase credits directly from the protocol, with payment options including POD, ETH, BTC, USDC, XMR, and ZEC. All protocol revenue is used to repurchase POD tokens on the market, directly offsetting inflation. For example, with Qwen 3.6 35B, Dolphin charges users $0.70 per million tokens (below OpenRouter’s $1.00), pays nodes $0.50, and generates a net $0.20 for repurchases. POD holders can stake their tokens into the xPOD vault to receive auto-compounding dividends, daily inference quotas, and ecosystem subscription benefits. Node operators must stake forfeitable POD bonds equivalent to four weeks of income; cheating results in proportional slashing. Reward multipliers can reach up to 2x. (Source: BlockBeats)
