- Co-staking is now live on IO.net, allowing $IO token holders to earn block rewards without owning hardware by partnering with device suppliers.
- The feature creates a win-win scenario where suppliers can reduce their capital requirements while token holders gain new Passive income opportunities.
- The Co-Staking Marketplace enables customizable agreements with transparent device performance metrics and reward distributions.
io.net has launched its new co-staking feature, enabling $IO token holders to participate in network rewards without operating hardware. This widely-anticipated functionality allows device suppliers to share both staking requirements and block rewards with community members, creating new financial opportunities while expanding the network’s computational resources.
The co-staking mechanism addresses several key challenges in the decentralized computing ecosystem. For hardware suppliers, the feature significantly lowers entry barriers by reducing the amount of $IO tokens they need to personally stake. This capital efficiency enables suppliers to deploy more high-performance devices, including valuable H100 GPUs, while better managing their overall risk profile and working capital requirements.
“Co-staking democratizes decentralized computing,” notes the official announcement from io.net. The platform emphasizes that this collaborative approach strengthens network security while distributing rewards more broadly throughout the ecosystem.
For $IO token holders who don’t own or operate hardware, co-staking offers a straightforward avenue to generate passive income while supporting network growth. Users can browse the Co-Staking Marketplace, where they can filter opportunities based on device specifications, requested token amounts, reward percentages, and device reliability scores.
The process operates through a transparent four-step system:
1. Suppliers with fully collateralized devices create customized co-staking offers, setting both the contribution percentage and block reward share.
2. These offers appear on the marketplace or can be shared directly with potential co-stakers.
3. Token holders review available opportunities, analyzing performance metrics and projected rewards based on seven-day trailing data.
4. After contributing the required $IO stake, co-stakers receive their proportional share of block rewards automatically.
Both suppliers and co-stakers can monitor their earnings through the Staking Dashboard, which provides real-time analytics and historical performance data. Either party can terminate the arrangement through the unstaking process, subject to the standard waiting periods and cooldown timeframes.
The platform has implemented important safeguards to maintain network integrity. Devices failing to meet performance standards may face slashing penalties affecting both rewards and staked amounts. This mechanism protects enterprise clients by creating a compensation pool for potential service level agreement violations.
For device suppliers interested in creating co-staking offers, io.net has published a comprehensive Device Owner Staking Guide. Token holders can learn how to participate through the dedicated Third-Party Staking Guide.
The Offer Creation Portal allows suppliers to customize their co-staking proposals, while the public marketplace showcases all available opportunities. Questions about the new feature can be directed to support@io.net or through the platform’s community channels.
