Sogni and Salad Expand DePIN for GenAI Art
Singapore, Singapore, April 29th, 2025, Chainwire
Sogni AI, a decentralized platform for creative AI tools, today announced a strategic partnership with Salad, a leading decentralized GPU provider, to expand Sogni’s Supernet capacity and unlock new earning pathways for everyday GPU owners.
As part of this integration, Sogni’s Flux Worker and Stable Diffusion Worker are now officially available as pre-configured “Recipes” on Salad’s platform—allowing anyone with a Salad account to rent one of 60,000+ GPUs on-call with a few clicks. These rentals boot up with all the software and AI models ready to go, immediately completing AI workloads on Sogni’s Supernet in exchange for $SOGNI tokens.
The Supernet is still in Testnet phase, with the Mainnet launch to follow soon. Sogni’s Fast Worker nodes are estimated to generate around $350/month in tokens per Nvidia RTX 4090 GPU. These earnings significantly beat out many traditional and Web3 payouts for GPU owners and are expected to turn over a tidy profit for GPU renters, even after Salad rental fees.
“Salad is the easiest on-ramp yet for contributors looking to support creative AI. Even if you don’t own a $4,000 workstation, you can rent time on Salad and begin earning as part of our network.” said Mark Ledford, CTO of Sogni AI. “When Salad worker nodes connect to our network they are no different in performance from our bare-metal owner-run worker nodes except that you can scale Salad node rentals up and down to match network demand.”
The partnership accelerates Sogni’s DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) strategy—one that has already propelled the platform from just 10,000 to over 340,000 users during its Testnet phase. Sogni’s decentralized worker nodes now process over 1.5 million generations per day across 100+ state-of-the-art image generation models, thanks to its global community of residential GPU contributors. Coming off of recent user milestones and armed with $2 million in fresh funding, Sogni is well poised to tackle the next phase of its ambitious roadmap: AI Video on the Supernet.
“Sogni.ai is shaping the future of what’s possible with collectively-powered AI and we’re proud to power that innovation on SaladCloud,” stated Bob Miles, CEO of Salad. “Our distributed GPU network is built to support the scale, speed, and efficiency modern AI startups like Sogni need to grow fast without breaking the bank. Its mission of fuelling collective creativity aligns perfectly with Salad’s mission of democratising compute”
“The Sogni Supernet is designed to be a network of networks. We’re proud to have Salad as one of the backbones of our supernetwork where gamers, artists, and creators across the globe share resources and earn together. Where Open Source models and tools stay in the hands of the people who use them. This is what people-powered AI infrastructure looks like,” said Mauvis Ledford, CTO of Sogni AI.
