Gate.io Adds SPON
Gate.io isn’t just listing another token—it’s rolling out a chance for its loyal users to grab a piece of a new, community-driven AI compute network. The exchange has officially announced the listing of Spheron Network (SPON), a decentralized computing platform that taps into a wide network of GPUs and CPUs to power AI workloads. And for those holding GT (GateToken), there’s something extra in it: a free airdrop.
Let’s break it down.
Trading for SPON opens on July 29, 2025, at 09:00 UTC under the trading pair SPON/USDT. Leading up to that, Gate.io is running its HODLer Airdrop Event #275, offering 266,667 SPON tokens to eligible users.
All you need to do is hold at least 1 GT, Gate.io’s native token, complete identity verification, and join the airdrop via Launchpool > HODLer Airdrop before July 29 at 07:00 UTC. No funds are deducted, and there’s no lock-in period—the full reward unlocks instantly once the event ends. The maximum allocation is capped at 1,000 GT per user.
This setup not only introduces SPON to Gate.io’s global user base but also strengthens the utility of GT by rewarding loyal holders.
Spheron Network is not just another blockchain project—it’s building a decentralized, community-powered compute economy designed for AI workloads. The idea is to bring together a huge pool of enterprise-grade and retail GPUs and CPUs to offer flexible, fast, and affordable computing power.
They’re already running at scale, with over 50,000 active nodes and $100 million+ in computing capacity. Their infrastructure supports high-end chips like the H100, H200, B200, and even consumer GPUs like the RTX 4090 and 5090.
Their value prop? Lower GPU pricing, more access, and zero dependency on centralized providers. It’s a play at the heart of where blockchain and AI intersect.
On top of that, Spheron’s ecosystem includes live products such as KlippyAI, Supernoderz, and the Agent Marketplace, all running on the Base blockchain.
The SPON token is more than just a trading asset—it’s central to how the Spheron platform operates. While full details on its in-network usage aren’t public yet, it’s positioned to be used for payments, governance, rewards, and access to compute services.
