Supplier Migration Guide: Upgrading to M4 Series Devices

Suppliers on io.net can now seamlessly upgrade their existing inventory of M2 Pro, M2 Max, and M2 Ultra devices to the cutting-edge M4 series. This transition ensures enhanced performance, improved efficiency, and continued eligibility for earnings on the io.net platform.

Only currently connected devices with full stake are eligible for migration.

Migration Process:

Step 1: Disconnect Your M2 Device

Before migrating, ensure your M2 Pro, M2 Max, or M2 Ultra device is disconnected from the io.net network.

Step 2: Execute the Migration Command

Once your M2 device is disconnected, run the following command on your new M4, M4 Pro, or M4 Max device:

./io_net_launch_binary_mac --device_id={same device id} --user_id={same user_id} 
--operating_system="macOS" --usegpus=false --device_name="{same device name}"
Step 3: Ensure Proper Configuration

Your new M4 series device should be correctly configured with a stable internet connection to avoid loss of Block Rewards during migration.

Benefits of Migration:

When migrating to the M4 series, your new device will:

  • Retain the same device_id
  • Retain the same $IO staked (M2 Pro/Max staking requirements match M4/M4 Pro/M4 Max)
  • For M2 Ultra migrations: The excess 50 $IO (beyond the minimum staking requirement) will be withdrawable without a cooldown period after approximately 24-48 hours post-migration.**

Additional Update:

This migration ensures suppliers remain operational on io.net while benefiting from the next-generation M4 series devices. We appreciate your continued support as we drive decentralized computing forward.
