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.

🚧

Important Pre-Migration Requirement:

Before initiating the migration, ensure your current M2 worker has been actively earning Block Rewards for at least the last 3 continuous hours (i.e., passing PoW tests and contributing work).

If this condition is not met, the new M4 device will be automatically blocked during the migration process.

Important Migration Dates:

• Migration Start: UTC 09:00 AM on April 3rd, 2025
• End of Support for M2 Devices: UTC 23:59:59 on April 21st, 2025
• Migration Window Closes: UTC 23:59:59 on April 21st, 2025

📘

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

M4 Series Device Options

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.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support as we move towards a more innovative future together.
