Anthropic just raised $65 billion at a $965 billion valuation.
That valuation is a direct bet on AI demand. Every Claude conversation. Every AI agent. Every inference job. All of it needs compute to run.
Centralized data centers can't keep up. $650 billion committed globally in 2026 - half of it delayed or canceled. Power grids can't handle it. Permits take years.
4 billion phones and PCs already exist. Already powered. Already connected. Earning nothing.
IDLE Protocol connects them. The compute Anthropic and every other AI company desperately needs already exists in everyone's pocket.

We've raised $65 billion in Series H funding at a $965 billion post-money valuation, led by @AltimeterCap, Dragoneer, @Greenoaks, and @sequoia.
This investment will help us advance our research and expand our capacity to meet growing demand for Claude.

1/ We're excited to be backed by @Alchemy via the $20M Solana Fund - and we're switching our Solana RPC infrastructure to Alchemy.
One of the most important infrastructure moves we've made since launch. 🧵

The world has a compute problem.
$650 billion committed to new data centers in 2026. Half of it delayed or canceled. Not enough transformers. Not enough power. Grid queues stretching 7 years. The world needs compute desperately - and the infrastructure to build it is failing.
We built the first live distributed compute network on Solana, powering inference for NVIDIA NIM, Mistral AI, and Google Gemini automatically.
But IDLE had one problem. Running a node required a terminal command. On mobile - it was near impossible. That kept 4 billion phones off the network.
We built the fix. And we built it on top of IDLE.
IDLE Protocol is the foundation. The game is the door.
Every player is a node. Every phone is infrastructure. Every session contributes to a global compute network that was already live, already paying out, already growing before the first player logged in.
The first game where your device powers a real compute network while you play.

$650 billion committed to data centers in 2026. Nearly half of it delayed or canceled - not because of chip shortages, not because of funding, but because there aren't enough transformers and the grid can't handle it.
The world needs compute. The infrastructure to build it takes 7 years and communities are actively voting it down.
4 billion phones and PCs are already on, already connected, already sitting idle. No permits needed. No transformers. No grid upgrades.
IDLE Protocol turns all of it into a single distributed compute network. Inference, compute, web tasks, data, APIs - devices execute jobs and earn USDC on Solana automatically. The compute the world needs already exists, it just isn't connected yet.

One person. Four idle resources turned into paid API endpoints. $0.60 in gateway revenue. $1.02 already withdrawn to their wallet. No cloud bill. No infrastructure to manage. No permission required.
Every phone, laptop, GPU, and idle device on earth has the same potential. IDLE is the protocol that connects all of it - routing demand, executing tasks, settling in USDC on Solana automatically.
This is how the distributed compute economy works in practice. solana:AjLhrxN2yrCe45Y2KGPMZCkBm6NpN43jWqPkdZq6pump

I plugged 4 resources into @IdleCompute and let them run.
35 requests. $0.60 gateway revenue. $1.02 already withdrawn.
My PC, my Llama inference, just sitting idle — now paid API endpoints on x402.
This is what "put your agents to work" actually looks like in practice.
Still early. Still tiny numbers. But the infra is live and it pays.

1/ IDLE x @Cloudflare AI Gateway.
Cloudflare serves 20% of all internet traffic. Their AI Gateway is the unified inference layer routing developer requests to 14 AI providers globally - OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Google, and more.
IDLE is now listed as a custom provider. Any developer using Cloudflare AI Gateway can route inference requests directly to IDLE's distributed compute network. 🧵

Google just made the biggest pricing shift in AI history at I/O 2026.
Gemini is moving from monthly subscriptions to a compute-based model. Every interaction priced by complexity. Every task priced by compute consumed. Google is processing 3.2 quadrillion tokens per month - up 7x year over year - and their infrastructure still can't keep up.
Compute is now the currency of AI. Not subscriptions. Not tokens. Compute.
Google confirmed what we've been building toward. The world needs more compute. Centralized data centers can't scale fast enough. The next compute layer isn't a building - it's the world.
4 billion phones and PCs already built, already powered, already connected. Sitting idle. Earning nothing. IDLE Protocol turns all of it into a single distributed compute network. Contributors get paid in USDC on Solana every time their device completes a task.
Google just priced compute as the future. IDLE is the compute that already exists everywhere.

Every AI agent needs compute to function. Every task - inference, web calls, data queries - needs a machine to run it.
IDLE is that machine. Thousands of them. Idle devices worldwide executing agent tasks and settling in USDC on Solana.
More agents = more tasks = more compute demand = more USDC flowing through the network.
The agents are here. They all need somewhere to run.
Solana Stories: The Agents Are Here
Agents are code. Crypto is code. 65% of agentic payments already run on Solana.

DePIN compute is a $1B sector.
Render - GPU rendering. Specialized hardware only. ~$1B market cap.
Akash - container deployments. Kubernetes required. ~$245M.
io.net - GPU clusters. Specific hardware required. ~$48M.
Every single one requires hardware most people don't have.
IDLE - any phone, laptop, or PC. Joins in 60 seconds. 17 task types. $10,000 paid out to operators already.
The unlock is access.

Good news - X has removed the malicious actor's posts and revoked their access to @IdleProtocol.
We are now in the final stages of the recovery process and waiting for X support to restore our access. We will post immediately from @IdleProtocol the moment it is back in our hands.
Thank you for your patience throughout this.

1/ IDLE x @Kimi_Moonshot K2.
Kimi K2.6 - Moonshot AI's 1 trillion parameter open-source model - is now live on the IDLE network via NVIDIA NIM.
1 trillion parameters. Ties GPT-5.5 on coding benchmarks. 80% cheaper per million tokens. Available right now on IDLE. 🧵

(3/4) Every model we add to the IDLE network makes $IDLE more deflationary.
Here's why.
IDLE routes inference jobs across three compute layers - local nodes running open-source models, NVIDIA NIM serving large GPU-optimized models, Mistral AI for sovereign European inference, and now Kimi K2.6, the 1 trillion parameter model that ties GPT-5.5 on coding benchmarks at a fraction of the cost.
Every time a local node completes a job, 15% of the fee auto-swaps to $IDLE via Jupiter and burns it permanently. As the model catalog grows, more demand flows to the network, more jobs route to local nodes, and more $IDLE gets burned every hour.
The flywheel is simple: more models = more demand = more jobs = more burns = less supply.
74,467 active nodes. 101,370 on-chain transactions. Every integration compounds that. NVIDIA NIM. Mistral. Kimi K2.6. Each one expands the catalog, attracts more demand, and accelerates the burn rate.
The DePIN sector is $9-10 billion in market cap. IDLE is sub-$300K FDV with real revenue, real burns, and a model catalog that now includes the most capable open-source models on earth.

(4/4) IDLE isn't competing with NVIDIA NIM, Mistral, or Kimi. It's the layer that makes all of them accessible through one API and one payment rail on Solana.
Every time a new frontier model launches, IDLE can add it. The network becomes more useful with every integration without rebuilding anything. That's not a model catalog — that's a compute aggregation layer. No other DePIN protocol is doing this.
Businesses and developers access the full model catalog via API - sign up, get a key, pay per request. AI agents discover and pay autonomously via the Coinbase x402 Bazaar, Agentic.Market, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, and across the entire x402 agent discovery ecosystem.

Anthropic just committed $50 billion to build new data centers across the United States. Custom built for AI workloads. Years of construction. Land permits. Thousands of jobs just to get started
But the next data center isn't a building. It's the world.
4 billion phones and PCs - already built, already powered, already connected. Sitting idle. Earning nothing. More distributed compute than any data center Anthropic will ever build. That's the infrastructure layer nobody is pricing in yet.
IDLE Protocol turns all of it into a single distributed compute network. AI agents submit tasks, idle devices execute them, contributors get paid in USDC on Solana. No land. No permits. No construction timeline.
And we're just getting started.
Distributed AI inference is live. Partner networks are live. On-chain analytics are verifiable by anyone. Every job that runs burns $IDLE permanently.
Anthropic is spending $50 billion to build new infrastructure. We're activating the infrastructure that already exists everywhere.
