[Dolphin: All protocol revenue will be used for market buybacks of POD; holders can stake in the xPOD vault to gain benefits] Foresight News reports that AI lab Dolphin announced via a tweet that the Dolphin Network utilizes a Peer-to-Pool architecture to repurpose idle GPUs. Each model operates within a GPU pool, with tasks randomly assigned to nodes, and no direct binding between buyers and sellers. Nodes receive POD token rewards from the protocol treasury based solely on the number of inference tokens processed. Users purchase credits directly from the protocol, with payments supported 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, and generates a net buyback of $0.2. POD holders can stake in the xPOD vault to receive automatic compounding dividends, daily inference quotas, and ecosystem subscription benefits. Node operators are required to stake slashing-enabled POD bonds (equivalent to 4 weeks of income), with penalties applied for cheating. The reward multiplier mechanism can reach up to 2x.
