io.net is a decentralized AI computing platform that provides computing power by aggregating idle GPU resources. IO is the native token on the Solana chain, with the official contract address BZLbGTNCSFfoth2GYDtwr7e4imWzpR5jqcUuGEwr646K. It is not an Ethereum-based token. Below are the specific steps.

1. Preparation: Register an Account and Deposit USDT

IO currently supports the IO/USDT spot trading pair, so you need USDT in your account.

  • If you already have USDT: skip this step and go directly to step 2.

  • If you don't have USDT yet: In the app, go to [Assets] → [Deposit], search for USDT, and the system will generate a deposit address. Transfer USDT from your other wallet or bank account. You can also buy USDT directly on OKX via bank transfer, credit card, etc. Bank transfers usually take 1–3 business days to process.

Key risk: USDT exists on different networks like ERC-20, TRC-20, etc. Make sure to select the exact same network shown on OKX's deposit page. Choosing the wrong network will result in permanent loss of funds.

2. Find IO Trading Pair and Place Order

Once your funds are ready, you can proceed to buy.

  • Find IO: In the search bar at the top of the app's market section, type IO and select the IO/USDT spot trading pair from the results.

  • Place an order: Choose a market order (executed immediately at the best current price) or a limit order (set a price you're willing to wait for). Enter the amount and confirm the order.

3. Confirm Assets After Trade

After placing the order, you can see your IO balance in [Assets] → [Spot Account], which means you've acquired the tokens. If the balance hasn't changed, go to the "Order Center" to check whether your order has been filled.

4. Key Risk Reminders

Always verify the contract address: IO is a SPL token on the Solana chain, not an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. The official team has clarified that an IO contract address on Ethereum listed on CoinGecko is not the official address. If you need to withdraw IO from OKX to an on-chain wallet, make sure to select the Solana network and verify the official contract address: BZLbGTNCSFfoth2GYDtwr7e4imWzpR5jqcUuGEwr646K.

Volatility risk of newly listed tokens: IO was launched in June 2024 with a circulating supply ratio of about 15%. Prices may fluctuate sharply in the early stages. Please manage your risk accordingly.

How to confirm the operation is complete: After a successful order, go to the OKX "Assets" page and tap on "Spot Account". If you can see your IO balance, the funding operation is complete. If the balance hasn't changed, check the "Order Center" to see if your order has been filled.
