MOUNTAIN HOME, Pa., Feb. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tianrong Internet Products and Services, Inc. has announced that (OTC: TIPS) (“TIPS” or the “Company”), a forward-thinking innovator in Internet products and services, today announced the successful creation and listing of its native utility token, DEPIN code ($DEPIN)on Raydium Launchpad, the leading decentralized exchange on the Solana blockchain.
This achievement represents a major step in TIPS’ strategic expansion into decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN) networks and the fast-growing AI inference sector. Following the company’s February 4, 2026 announcement of an AI Inference Marketplace initiative under the DEPINfer brand, the $DEPIN launch offers token-based incentives, governance, and micropayments to create a global sharing economy for GPU computing resources.
Project scope and vision
$DEPIN serves as the core token for the utility that powers DEPINfer (DEPINfer.com), a decentralized AI inference marketplace that scrapes underutilized GPUs from gaming PCs, workstations, and data centers around the world. By enabling individuals and organizations to rent idle hardware, the platform aims to deliver scalable and cost-effective AI inference and training – reducing costs by an estimated 50-80% compared to centralized cloud providers while eliminating vendor lock-in and supply constraints.
Key features and amenities of $DEPIN include:
- Payments and transactions: Used to submit inference tasks (text/image generation) and settle micropayments to GPU providers.
- Provider Rewards: DEPIN GPU contributors earn USD based on shared computing power and completed tasks, with betting opportunities to improve productivity.
- Governance and incentives: Token holders participate in decentralized decision-making, vote on platform upgrades, and benefit from prioritized access levels.
- Revenue model alignment: The market applies a transaction fee of 5-10%, with portions going towards token buybacks, burning, ecosystem development, and sustainable rewards.
The token was launched via Raydium LaunchLab with a community-focused fair launch model: 60% of the total supply allocated to the link curve for public participation, ensuring early distribution at scale while reserving the remaining 40% for migrated liquidity, team/ecosystem allocations, and long-term incentives such as provider rewards and community airdrops. This structure supports network effects and aligns incentives with real-world utility in the booming AI and DePIN markets – expected to reach $106 billion for AI inference and $10-15 billion for decentralized computing by 2030.
Launch details
$DEPIN is now live on the Raydium Launchpad in the link curve phase, allowing early participants to acquire tokens directly. The project targets a smooth transition to full Raydium AMM liquidity pools upon reaching the SOL leverage threshold, providing stable trading and deeper market access.

Strategic outlook
This token launch represents a transformative leap for TIPS, as the company connects traditional OTC markets with cutting-edge blockchain infrastructure which was highlighted by the launch of $DEPIN on Solana – the proven chain for high-throughput DePIN projects such as Render Network and io.net – DEPINfer is positioned at the forefront of affordable and democratized AI computing. Developers, GPU owners, AI enthusiasts, and the broader community are invited to join us in building the future of decentralized intelligence.
The company will provide continuous updates on the progress of the interconnection curve, platform milestones, partnerships and MVP developments via the official social media sites, DEPINfer.com website and official channels.
