Kinesis Network Launches Revolutionary Compute Optimization Platform
Seattle, Washington, June 10th, 2025, Chainwire
Protocol enables any computing resource to be exchanged, monetized, and put to work
Kinesis Network ('Kinesis'), a platform redefining how the world accesses compute, today announced the launch of the Kinesis Protocol testnet. This foundational infrastructure layer transforms underutilized computing resources into scalable, high-performance, on-demand compute services, powered by blockchain technology.
Kinesis enables any underutilized computing resource to be exchanged, monetized, and put to work. Its flexible architecture supports a wide range of real-world applications, including Kinesis Cloud, an innovative platform built to meet the growing compute demands of modern AI workloads.
Kinesis uses a unique supply-side software that instantly onboards any personal computer, tablet, or data center server, eliminating Web3 complexity for suppliers. Anyone with computing power can join the network without blockchain knowledge or even a bank account. Customers can access the service just like a traditional cloud provider—no wallets, tokens, or Web3 exposure required.
'Compute should work like a power grid,' said Baris Saydag, CEO of Kinesis. 'You don't think about where electricity was generated or who supplied it—you just plug in and it works. That's what we're building with Kinesis: a decentralized compute grid where anyone can supply, anyone can consume, and compute just flows. No complexity. No friction. Just plug in and go.'
JOULE Token
Kinesis is powered by JOULE, a protocol token with a non-inflationary design and a fixed supply of one billion tokens that ensure the programmatic functioning of the Kinesis Network. The platform pays providers directly from transaction fees paid by users, rather than inflating new tokens, ensuring a sustainable economic loop rooted in real usage.
Delegated Staking
Kinesis also offers Delegated Staking, allowing suppliers to use tokens held by third parties to participate in the network and share a portion of the rewards with those delegators. This creates a win-win-win dynamic: suppliers come online with significantly reduced friction. Meanwhile, JOULE holders participate to secure the network while receiving rewards for their participation, and the broader ecosystem grows stronger as more tokens are actively committed to the network, strengthening its overall health and resilience.
Large entities can launch their own custom delegation pools, enabling them to onboard suppliers directly from their user base at scale and drive powerful network effects. This mechanism is designed to attract ecosystem-scale partners—platforms and communities with access to large-scale supply—by giving them a direct incentive to activate their networks and share in the upside.
Kinesis was founded by a team of technologists with deep expertise in cloud infrastructure, large-scale system optimizations, and blockchain. The leadership team brings experience from Microsoft, AWS, IBM, and Meta, combining technical depth with real-world execution. In addition to CEO Baris Saydag, the founding team includes Hamza AK (Chief Operating Officer), Bina Khimani (Chief Product and Revenue Officer), and Toshihito Kikuchi (Chief Architect).
'Kinesis aims to unlock the world's underutilized compute and turn it into high-performance infrastructure that anyone can use, on demand—just like plugging into a power outlet,' said AK. 'Delivering that experience at a global scale requires an economic framework built for efficiency and real-world participation. Delegated Staking is one part of that framework: JOULE holders power the network and earn yield, while enabling suppliers to come online instantly, with no friction. It's a self-reinforcing incentive loop designed to scale with global participation and transform how compute is accessed, supplied, and rewarded.'
The Kinesis testnet is now live. 'Bring your hardware, your ideas, or your community. Whether you're a developer, a supplier, a JOULE holder, or a potential partner, this is your invitation to help build the future of cloud,' added AK.
About Kinesis Network

Risky stocks and safe-haven gold are both aiming for records. Who will blink first?
The S&P 500 and gold are both within striking distance of all-time highs — a rare event that leaves investors wondering what exactly is going on. After all, stocks at all-time highs indicate that investors are optimistic about the future and happy to pile into risky assets. Gold, meanwhile, is often viewed as a safe haven — a port in the storm during periods of uncertainty. 'It might be another Apple or Microsoft': My wife invested $100K in one stock and it exploded 1,500%. Do we sell? Why Goldman Sachs says high-flying tech stocks may be headed for a tough stretch My friend, 83, wants to add me to his bank account to pay his bills. What could go wrong? 'The situation is extreme': I'm 65 and leaving my estate to only one grandchild. Can the others contest my will? One of our children has legal knowledge and lives far away, the other lacks financial savvy but lives nearby. Who should we appoint as executor? 'It's like watching someone eat salad and dessert at the same time,' said Adam Koos, president and senior financial adviser at Libertas Wealth Management Group. 'Investors are trying to be 'healthy' but still hedging against what might come later.' It is possible for both the S&P 500 and gold to hit, and hold, record highs at the same time, but 'it's not exactly the norm,' he said. When it does happen, it's usually 'under a specific set of conditions that reflect a combination of optimism and anxiety in the markets.' This year's rise for both tells a story of 'conflicting narratives,' Koos said. 'The stock market is pricing in a soft landing with [artificial-intelligence] fueled earnings growth, while gold is pricing in longer-term structural concerns' such as runaway deficits, a weakening dollar or even central-bank demand from countries hedging U.S. exposure. Traditionally, the S&P 500 SPX and gold GC00 are 'somewhat inversely correlated,' he said. When they rise together, it often 'points to a deeper undercurrent,' such as fear around inflation, a weakening dollar or expectations that the Federal Reserve might start easing interest rates. Both gold and the S&P 500 have been moving higher so far this year, though the metal has far outpaced the rise for the index. As of Monday, gold futures were up nearly 27% in the year to date and sitting just 2.1% below the record high set on April 21, according to Dow Jones Market Data. The S&P 500 is up only 2.1% this year but has roared back from the steep selloff that followed President Donald Trump's unveiling of sweeping tariff measures on April 2. The S&P 500 as of Friday was just about 2.3% below its record finish, scored on Feb. 19. Read: The S&P 500 is back at a big milestone. Here's what one strategist needs to see to be even more optimistic. 'The rare positive correlation between gold and the index, which historically tend not to peak together, may have been fueled by dovish Fed expectations and fiscal as well as structural concerns,' said Dina Ting, head of global index portfolio management at Franklin Templeton. The S&P 500 index and gold futures had reached respective record highs at the same time earlier this year, on Feb. 18, with the index marking a record close at the time of 6,129.58 and gold settling at $2,949. Equities tend to respond to growth-related factors like earnings and interest rates, while gold prices tend to move on more fear-related factors like inflation expectations or debt levels, said Keith Weiner, chief executive officer of Monetary Metals. Right now, we seem to be in a period where both sets of forces are 'elevated,' he said. Optimism is driving equity markets higher, while underlying fears are supporting record demand for gold' and investors are 'positioning for both potential outcomes by continuing to buy stocks for growth and gold for stability.' To see the precious metal and the index move in tandem is a break from the norm, but it's not surprising to see, said Harley Kaplan, an independent financial advisor in Plymouth, Mass. 'Investments can be emotion driven and presently, there is a lot of risk in the world,' he said. Gold has always provided security against turmoil, while investors in equities invest for tomorrow — 'showing confidence in the future.' Meanwhile, the ratio between gold and S&P 500, which represents how many ounces of the metal are required to buy the index, appears to have rebounded since narrowing and is 'elevated but not extreme,' said Franklin Templeton's Ting. 'That suggests confidence in equities, but not an outright dismissal of gold,' she told MarketWatch. 'The significance here is it's signaling a reversion to more traditional dynamics.' At roughly 1.76, the ratio currently favors gold, Koos said. It had fallen to around 1.5 back in April, according to a chart provided by Libertas Wealth Management. When the ratio falls, gold is the relative outperformer, which likely means that investors are 'shifting toward safety or bracing for volatility,' he said. When the ratio is moving up, the bulls — and momentum and strength — are in the hands of the S&P 500, he said. That said, although it's rare, the index and gold could reach record highs simultaneously again, said Koos. For that to be sustainable, however, there would likely need to be a combination of falling real interest rates or dovish Fed policy, ongoing demand for hard assets — such as central banks buying gold — continued belief in long-term growth that would support equities and 'enough macro uncertainty to keep fear trades alive,' he said. 'It's a fragile dance,' Koos said, likening such a situation to watching 'someone balancing two spinning plates.' It's possible for a while, he said, but it 'takes constant motion and the right conditions to keep both from falling.' 'I prepaid our mom's rent for a year': My sister is a millionaire and never helps our mother. How do I cut her out of her will? I bought my mother-in-law a condo — and she took out a $30,000 car loan. Now she refuses to get a roommate. How do I make sure my son-in-law doesn't get his hands on my daughter's inheritance? 'He failed in his fiduciary duty': My brother liquidated our mother's 401(k) for her nursing home. He claimed the rest. A local restaurant has a 5% container charge and 3% kitchen-service fee.

IBM Reveals Quantum Chip, Eyes 2029 Starling Supercomputer Launch
International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM) is one of the best Dow stocks to invest in. On June 10, the company revealed that it's working on a large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer named Quantum Starling as part of its broader quantum roadmap. A key component of this effort is the upcoming IBM Quantum Nighthawk processor, which is expected to launch later this year, according to a company blog post. Like several other tech giants and well-funded startups, International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM) is racing to advance quantum computing. The core challenge they all face lies in qubit reliability—while qubits can perform rapid calculations, they tend to generate significant errors. Researchers often dedicate some qubits to correcting these errors, but that leaves fewer available for practical computation. International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM) shifted its strategy in 2019, and now claims it has developed a new algorithm that could dramatically reduce the number of qubits required for error correction. Jay Gambetta, International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM) vice president of quantum initiatives, explained that, unlike the company's earlier approach, where theory dictated chip design, the current strategy focuses on building chips that are feasible first and then designing the error-correction method around them. This more pragmatic path has given IBM the confidence to roll out a series of increasingly advanced systems through 2027, paving the way for much larger quantum machines. IBM has surged by over 25.6% since the start of 2025. While we acknowledge the potential of IBM as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.
