Every forecast has its limits.
But, new intelligence emerges between what’s modeled and what’s missed.
This week, we saw signs of that edge w/ brilliant modelers at Crunch.
Let’s dive in ↓

CrunchDAO x io.net
Scaling Compute for Decentralized AI
As demand grows for better predictions — in finance, medicine, and DeFi — so must our infrastructure.
That’s why we’re partnering with io.net, a decentralized GPU network powering low-latency, high-performance AI workloads around the world.
Why it matters:
- Resilience – Distributed GPUs reduce bottlenecks
- Profitability – Lower cost per model
- Access – Any Cruncher, anywhere, can build with world-class compute
Together, we’re making ML faster, fairer, and more open.
