The race to open-source AI is accelerating. Thousands of models are available. The advantage is knowing which one is best for the job. That’s how we’re building Fractal. We select strong open models for specific tasks, run them on PinLink infrastructure and package each capability into a specialized agent.

Starting this week, 50% of all V3 fees will go directly toward buying back and burning Pin. Our V3 liquidity position continuously earns fees from trading activity. Half of those fees will now be used to purchase native tokens from the open market and permanently remove them from circulation.

We got a sneak peek inside Fractal for you. Each agent is built around a specific job, runs on PinLink infrastructure and will have its ownership and economics brought onchain through our tokenization layer. Front end is complete. Smart contracts are being finalized ahead of audit. Fractal is getting close.

Introducing PinAI: Open AI Models, Paid Per Use in ethereum:0x2e44f3f609ff5aa4819b323fd74690f07c3607c4 Over the past few months we've been quietly expanding the infrastructure behind PinLink. One of the first things we're opening up is direct access to open AI models. Today, using different models for images, voice and text often means paying for several separate subscriptions, even if you only need each one occasionally. PinAI takes a different approach. Choose the model you need, submit your input, pay per call in ethereum:0x2e44f3f609ff5aa4819b323fd74690f07c3607c4 and receive the output directly through PinLink.ai. This is also an important building block for Fractal. PinAI opens the underlying models to users. Fractal will package that infrastructure into specialized agents capable of performing specific jobs. Now it's time to start rolling out the next stage of PinLink.

The best AI model doesn’t exist. The best model for the job does. We believe AI agents will increasingly become productive digital assets, so we’ve been taking leading open models and turning them into agents built for specific jobs. PinLink provides the infrastructure to run them, while our tokenization stack brings their ownership and economics onchain. Fractal is our first step toward a marketplace for these digital capabilities. This week, we start showing you how we’re building it.

REAL-WORLD INFRASTRUCTURE DOESN’T OPERATE LIKE SOFTWARE Blockchains can process transactions digitally, but physical infrastructure has to deal with heat, dust, hardware failures, maintenance, energy costs and changing operating conditions That’s one of the biggest differences between traditional software and real-world infrastructure PinLink’s work around hydro cooling is an example of why the physical layer matters. Within 2 months we expect the majority of hydro scrypt assets to be converted, tested, and ready to go live.Generating revenue to the project and asset holders. As rewards begin to kick back in, amidst the return of positive market conditions. If tokenized infrastructure is supposed to represent real production, then the underlying machines have to perform in the real world The blockchain can represent the asset, but the infrastructure still has to do the work

ERC-1155 is one of the reasons PinLink can expand far beyond a single asset class. One critical infrastructure layer can represent thousands of real-world assets onchain, each with its own supply, ownership and economics. On a network that’s currently being overlooked heavily. But still, The same architecture can extend across miners, DePIN, compute, metals, collectibles and tokenized stocks. Once these assets are onchain, they become programmable: able to move through Ethereum, integrate with DeFi, generate yield and interact within the same ecosystem.

30 more hydro cooling systems ordered. Assembly begins soon. Earlier this year, the UAE summer pushed our air-cooled fleet to its limits. Heat, dust and moisture became a constant fight, while rising network difficulty left less room for inefficiency. Over the past few months, we’ve developed and tested our system for converting existing air-cooled ASICs to hydro cooling. The first batch gave us what we needed to move forward. Now 30 more systems are being assembled for the next stage of the conversion. The slower mining months gave us the time to solve a physical infrastructure problem that needed solving.

Ethereum remains the deepest environment for tokenization. PinLink’s core has always been the infrastructure during building v1. A flexible tokenization layer capable of bringing very different asset classes onchain under the same framework. Currently shipping on tokenized stock baskets and tokenized metals features. The goal is creating a thriving ecosystem of tokenized assets on Ethereum that don’t exist in isolation. A tokenized asset should be able to interact with the rest of the onchain economy. Own, trade, and use across DeFi. Move between tokenized assets and onchain yield opportunities at the click of a button. Marketplace infrastructure for every type of RWA in an interoperable economy where different asset classes can live onchain and capital can move freely between them.

PinLink has been quiet. The infrastructure hasn’t. The last few months have been some of the most challenging we’ve experienced operating physical DePIN infrastructure in the UAE. Extreme summer conditions, rising mining difficulty, fleet-wide maintenance, and broader mining economics significantly reduced output across parts of our ASIC fleet. Rather than patching the same problem every summer, we decided to engineer around it. A lot of progress has been made. More updates soon.

One of the biggest misconceptions in crypto is that every new market requires entirely new infrastructure. It doesn’t. That is exactly why @PinLinkTCG is important. It validates that the protocol can support multiple asset classes using the our unique underlying infrastructure layer. A strong foundation creates room for expansion.

The global collectibles market is already worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Trading cards, sealed boxes, graded assets, and limited-edition products represent one of the largest alternative asset classes in the world. Yet most of this market still operates on fragmented platforms with little composability. @PinLinkTCG is bringing collectibles onto infrastructure designed for ownership, trading, and future financialization. We are expanding the scope of what can be tokenized and accessed digitally. The tokenization opportunity extends far beyond traditional infrastructure assets.

Many people think collectibles and blockchain are separate industries. The reality is they are already converging. Millions of buyers track prices digitally, trade online, verify authenticity through databases, and participate in global marketplaces. The next step is creating infrastructure that connects ownership, liquidity, and discoverability under one ecosystem. Collectibles are becoming increasingly digital long before they become tokenized.

There’s more than one way to collect. 🔜

Gotta fraction 'em all. ⚡

Mining was the first stage. Energy was the second. Compute is the next. Over time, PinLink is evolving toward a broader infrastructure marketplace where productive machines, whether miners, GPU clusters, or AI inference systems, become accessible through programmable ownership. Infrastructure is becoming liquid.

Under the hood tokenized compute requires more than simple token issuance. Infrastructure must continuously report: • uptime • thermal health • utilization • throughput • reward generation This data is synchronized through oracle systems and settlement contracts to ensure onchain positions accurately reflect real world machine output. Infrastructure transparency becomes part of the asset itself.

Tokenized compute allows physical processing infrastructure to be represented digitally onchain. A GPU node or inference server can be onboarded into the protocol, benchmarked for output capacity, and divided into fractional ownership units. Rewards are then tied directly to real compute utilization and infrastructure performance. The result is programmable ownership of productive AI infrastructure.

Compute is no longer just a backend resource. It is becoming a financial primitive. GPU clusters, inference servers, AI processing capacity, these systems generate measurable economic value every second they operate. As demand for AI scales globally, ownership of compute infrastructure becomes increasingly important. PinLink intends to bring that ownership on-chain.

Frontend Latency Improvements Shipped A new frontend performance pass has been deployed, reducing dashboard load times and improving wallet-state rendering during peak usage periods. Caching layers, request batching, and lighter state hydration were introduced to make navigation faster across staking, listings, and rewards pages. User experience is infrastructure too.
