Tianrong Internet Products and Services Inc. Provides Update on DEPIN Token Launch and Outlines Phase II Expansion for Decentralized GPU Network

Tianrong Internet Products and Services Inc. (OTC: TIPS) provided an operational update following the February 17, 2026 launch of the DEPIN token for the Depinfer project on the Solana blockchain via Raydium. The DEPIN token successfully graduated from incubation and completed Phase I decentralized deployment, with the DEPIN/SOL trading pair remaining active on decentralized exchanges since launch. This trading activity reflects continued market engagement and community participation for the decentralized physical infrastructure network model within the GPU compute segment.

Depinfer functions as a decentralized GPU compute-sharing protocol designed to enable participants to contribute idle GPU resources to a distributed network supporting AI inference and compute workloads. The protocol aggregates underutilized hardware capacity from independent operators and facilitates marketplace-based allocation of compute jobs, with rewards distributed in DEPIN tokens and company reward tokens paired with DEPIN. Management believes early trading activity and community growth provide initial validation for this model where global demand for AI-related processing continues to expand. The DEPIN/SOL trading pair can be viewed on DEX Screener at https://dexscreener.com/solana/8bdudryzbhtf2ckm2wcpm27scljvyzrahpbp6rz4kf1h.

Following completion of the initial bonding curve phase, liquidity transitioned to Raydium automated market maker pools with the associated liquidity pool locked according to the project's security framework. The DEPIN token serves as the utility mechanism for marketplace transactions, node incentives, reward token pairing, and future governance features. With Phase I deployment complete, Depinfer is advancing to Phase II development expected to focus on integration with additional AI frameworks and developer tools, implementation of dynamic workload allocation and pricing mechanisms, introduction of staking and governance features, continued enhancement of data privacy and network security protocols, and new custom and reward token pairs and launches.

The company expects Phase II to complete by the end of March 2026, emphasizing infrastructure scaling, marketplace functionality, and ecosystem development while maintaining a community-oriented governance structure. Depinfer leverages the Solana blockchain's high-throughput architecture to facilitate low-cost, high-speed settlement for decentralized compute transactions. Management believes decentralized GPU aggregation may offer an alternative infrastructure model in markets experiencing compute constraints and rising AI processing demand. TIPS will continue to provide advisory, technical, and strategic support to the Depinfer initiative as it advances through subsequent development phases.
