io.net (@ionet): Introducing: io.net’s Co-staking Marketplace

Introducing: io.net’s Co-staking Marketplace Co-staking on https://io.net is now live! Any supplier can create a co-staking offer on their fully collateralized device to invite community members who hold $IO tokens to contribute to the staking requirement and share the block rewards. Owning and operating a device is no longer required to earn rewards on your $IO. This widely requested feature solves several key challenges for both hardware suppliers and non-device-owning $IO holders, opening up some exciting new win-win opportunities and amplifying returns for community members and $IO holders. A Win-Win for Device Suppliers & $IO Holders Co-staking lowers the barrier to entry for device suppliers by reducing the $IO staking requirement. This allows more people to bring even more high-performance devices online, expanding https://io.net’s computational power and making it easier for suppliers to manage their risk profile by reducing overall working capital. By sharing the staking burden, suppliers can more readily deploy high-value hardware like H100 GPUs. Co-staking offers $IO token holders a new, simple way to generate additional rewards and support the https://io.net ecosystem. By co-staking tokens alongside suppliers, you can earn block rewards and diversify your $IO holdings without having to own or operate hardware. So how does the Co-Staking Marketplace work? How Co-Staking Works Supplier Setup: Once a supplier's device is fully staked and operational, they can create a co-staking offer, customizing the sharing percentage for both the $IO staking requirement and block reward. Listing on the Marketplace: The co-staking offer, with its customizable ratios, is then posted on the Co-Staking Marketplace or can be directly shared to a prospective co-staker. Co-Staker Participation: Co-stakers can browse the marketplace and find opportunities by filtering by device model (GPU or CPU), requested amount of $IO, offered percentage of block rewards, device reliability score (0-100), and simulated block rewards per week (a projection based on trailing 7-day data). Staking and Earning: Co-stakers contribute the required $IO stake and earn a proportional share of the block rewards. Either the supplier or the co-staker can choose to end the co-staking agreement through unstaking, where the relevant Wait Period and Cooldown period would apply. Explorer Staking Dashboard: Your Analytics Hub The Explorer Staking Dashboard provides a centralized view of real-time staking activities and trends on https://io.net. You can also track your earning trends by analyzing historical data and staying plugged in with live updates. Getting Started with Co-Staking: Device Suppliers Visit the Co-staking page: Go to IO Worker (https://worker.io.net/worker/devices) -> Staking -> Solo Staked Devices Select a device: Choose a fully-collateralized device and create a co-staking offer. Customize your offer: Choose your co-staker’s contribution percentage and Block Rewards share percentage. Publish the offer: Once created, the co-staking offer will be live on the marketplace. Unstake & WIthdraw: Go to IO Worker -> Staking -> Co-Staked Devices. If you have an active co-staker, you can unstake & withdraw the overflow amount instantly. Co-staking will remain active. You can also unstake beyond the overflow amount with the normal 14-day cooldown applied before the stake is withdrawable. This will also cancel the co-staking. Getting Started with Co-Staking: $IO Community Visit the Marketplace: Go to IO Staking > Co-Staking Marketplace. Select a Device: Use the filters to find an offer that matches your criteria. Review & Stake: Click "Co-Stake" to view offer details and approve the transaction in your crypto wallet (e.g., Phantom). Track Your Rewards: Visit IO Staking > My Co-Staking Devices to monitor your earnings. Unstake & Withdraw: Unstake anytime (subject to cooldown periods: 14 days normally, 21 days if the co-staker unstakes first). Withdraw funds after the cooldown. Important Note on Slashing: Devices that fail to meet https://io.net's performance criteria may be subject to slashing—a penalty that affects both block rewards and staked amounts. This mechanism protects network integrity and serves as a compensation pool for enterprise clients in case of SLA violations. Ready to Start Co-Staking?
