Dolphin: All protocol revenue will be used for market buyback of POD, and holders can stake in the xPOD vault to earn benefits.
Foresight News reported that the AI lab Dolphin stated on Twitter that Dolphin Network utilizes a Peer-to-Pool architecture to repurpose idle GPUs, with each model running in a GPU pool and nodes being randomly assigned tasks without direct binding between buyers and sellers. Nodes only receive POD token rewards from the protocol treasury based on the number of inference tokens they process; users purchase credits directly from the protocol, with support for payment in POD, ETH, BTC, USDC, XMR, and ZEC. All protocol revenue will be used for market buybacks of POD, directly offsetting inflation. For example, with Qwen 3.6 35B, Dolphin charges users $0.7 per million tokens (lower than OpenRouter's $1), pays nodes $0.5, generating a $0.2 net buyback.
POD holders can stake tokens in the xPOD vault to receive automatic compound dividends, daily inference quotas, and ecosystem subscription rights. Node operators must stake slashing-eligible POD bonds (equivalent to four weeks’ income), which are deducted in case of cheating. The reward multiplier mechanism can reach up to 2x.
