Dolphin Network is a distributed peer-to-pool inference network that lets consumer-GPU owners repurpose idle hardware to serve open-weight models — an uncensored-models focus is part of its positioning — and earn its token in exchange. The roster notes Dolphin supplies some of the models Venice serves upstream, one of several links between providers on this list. Fraud-resistance claims (sampled-inference validation, validator scoring, cryptoeconomic bonds) come from the project's own materials and are recorded here as claims pending independent review; no volume or on-chain token-flow check has run yet.

Change log

2026-08-24 — record: seeded from provider roster v1.0 (Unverified) (source)
2026-10-05 — record: X claim (f_funding): 火币HTX公告将上线 $POD (Dolphin） @dphnAI 📌 Dolphin 是一个去中心化 AI 推理网络，聚合消费级 GPU 的空闲算力，为 AI 应用提供低成本推理服务。 ✅ 充币业务已开启 ⏰ 币币交易 2026年10月04日21:00 (UTC+8) ⏰ 提币业务 2026年10月05日21:00 (UTC+8) (Claimed) (source)
2026-10-12 — api.models: X claim (a_launch): The Dolphin Inference API is now live Powered by DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, it delivers Opus 5-class coding & agentic performance at 97% lower cost than frontier models $30 free credits for the first 1,000 signups Start building with the cheapest API on the market → (Claimed) (source)
2026-10-12 — scale.tokens_per_day: X claim (c_scale): Our inference network processed over 8T tokens across 1.6k unique workers since inception During that period of time we were able to: • improve our anti-cheat systems • scale up to thousands of workers & GPUs across the globe • work with and around slow workers while still giving them the chance to contribute • cut worker setup down to a few simple steps • make routing much more stable in capacity recovery states Benchmarking of our multi-node DeepSeek V4.1 Flash pool shows a consistent 96-98% average cache hit rate on agentic usage The high frequency of cache hits results in the fastest & most cost effective API experience for prefill heavy usage that is typical with agent / harness workloads (Claimed) (source)
