What Is Infinity Ground (AIN)? The AI App-Builder Token That Closed 80% Higher on 3 October

Infinity Ground (AIN) is the BNB Chain token of an AI tool that turns plain-language prompts into blockchain apps, and it closed 3 October 2026 up 79.96% on CoinMarketCap. That $0.0435653 close still sat 74.69% below the 15 September close, and the token has traded only since July 2025.

CoinMarketCap's 3 October bar carried $19.34 million of volume, 18.42 times the 2 October bar. That was 13.9 times the $1.39 million in AIN's largest pool at 12:40 UTC on 4 October. The day's high of $0.0553975 stood 128.84% above the 2 October close, and AIN finished 21.36% under it. The bounce came 17 days after an 86.50% one-day crash.

What Is Infinity Ground (AIN)?

Infinity Ground is an AI crypto project built on one claim, that anyone can ship a working blockchain app by describing it. Its white paper, last updated on 28 July 2025, calls the core product the "First Decentralized Agentic IDE". You describe the app in natural language, and the system generates "fully functional DApps" with no coding.

Agentic means AI agents do the building, the kind of software our explainer on what AI agents are breaks down.

The white paper pairs the IDE with an AI App Store, where builders publish and earn from what they make. It adds the ING Network, a chain of the project's own. The AIN token ties the three together. Its first daily close on CoinMarketCap came on 5 July 2025 at $0.0488807, a day after its main pool opened.

Why Is Infinity Ground Trending?

Infinity Ground is trending because of a single daily bar on 3 October 2026. AIN closed that day at $0.0435653 on CoinMarketCap, up 79.96% from $0.0242083, and CoinGecko's series shows the same gain from $0.0241985 to $0.0435480. That day's $19,339,113 of volume ran 6.74 times CoinMarketCap's daily average of $2.87 million from 17 September to 2 October.

The on-chain market moved with it. The largest AIN/USDT pool printed $1,346,238 of volume on GeckoTerminal's settled 3 October bar, 52.8 times its 2 October bar, and its price rose 75.91% from $0.0240047 to $0.0422268.

That rally came out of a collapse. Between the 13 September close of $0.0682518 and the 15 September close of $0.1721169, AIN rose 152.18% on CoinMarketCap. On 16 September it closed at $0.0232334, an 86.50% loss in one day on $95,933,738 of volume, and CoinGecko puts that day's fall at 86.64%. The lowest close on both feeds came two days later, on 18 September, at $0.0205089 on CoinMarketCap.

So the 3 October close stands 112.42% above that record-low close and 74.69% below the 15 September close. It's also 74.99% below the highest close in CoinMarketCap's series, $0.1741674 on 10 July 2025. The 15 September close fell 1.18% short of that level, so the September run never set a new closing high. A rebound after a crash this size fits the pattern our guide to spotting a dead cat bounce describes, though only later bars can confirm one.

No project statement explains either move. Infinity Ground's Medium blog has posted nothing since 15 January 2026, and its Telegram announcement channel's newest post dates from 2 September 2026, in reads at 14:14 UTC on 4 October. The white paper's last update came in July 2025, and the website's news address returned a 404 error at 14:26 UTC. This check didn't cover the project's X account.

Phemex's 8 September spot delisting came six days before the September run began, a date for the timeline that no document we read ties to either move.

Method: we read CoinMarketCap's daily bars and CoinGecko's CSV export twice on 4 October, at about 14:10 and 14:25 UTC, and every settled bar through 3 October matched.

How Does Infinity Ground Work?

The Agentic IDE is the working product, with instant deployment and a library of templates to start from. The user agreement on Infinity Ground's stake page says the platform deploys smart contracts on BNB Chain, Aptos and Initia.

The AIN token has five jobs on the white paper's token utility page. It pays for services and transaction fees. It buys tiered NFT memberships and opens access to the Launchpad and the marketplace for assets issued there. Holders can vote on treasury and platform decisions, and they can stake for extra returns. The page also says AIN will serve as gas "with the launch of the ING Network (an L2 on Initia)", a launch it describes in the future tense.

Staking is where the token meets the product, and on 4 October it stood paused. When we rendered the stake page at 14:14 UTC that day, it showed 32.41K AIN staked against a 45M AIN capacity, or 0.07% of the cap. The page listed a 100 AIN minimum and BNB Chain as the only supported chain. Its stake button read "Staking Paused" and its expected APY field showed two dashes.

Infinity Ground Tokenomics

Infinity Ground tokenomics start with a fixed 1,000,000,000 AIN at 0x9558a9254890B2A8B057a789F413631B9084f4a3 on BNB Chain. That's the only contract CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko listed in reads at 14:17 UTC on 4 October, and an on-chain total-supply read returned 1,000,000,000 at block 125,690,122 at 14:12 UTC.

The verified source on Sourcify lets up to six whitelisted minters create AIN, each capped at 40% of supply. Every mint must keep the total at or under 1 billion, and the total already reached that cap, so no more AIN can come into existence. The contract has no pause, blacklist or burn function and isn't a proxy, so its owner can add or remove minters but can't change the rules. Those are the checks our guide to auditing mint functions and liquidity locks walks through.

The white paper promises milestone-based burns. With no burn function in the code, a burn can only send AIN to an address no one controls, and the 1 billion total stays on the contract's books.

The allocation page, last updated on 15 May 2025, splits the billion nine ways.

The tokenomics pages tie team and partner vesting to performance milestones, and none of the pages we read carries a dated unlock schedule. CoinMarketCap counted 318,966,866 AIN in circulation at 14:17 UTC on 4 October, or 31.90% of supply. CoinGecko's count at the same read was 185,300,000, or 18.53%.

Ten addresses held 80.50% of all AIN in an on-chain read at 14:12 UTC on 4 October. The largest is a proxy contract with 20.72%. The second is a Safe multisig that needs three signatures, and it held exactly 200,000,000 AIN, the same size as the treasury allocation. GeckoTerminal's holder labels, read at 14:24 UTC, tag two of the other eight as centralized-exchange wallets with 12.74% between them. GeckoTerminal counted 19,253 holders in its 14:13 UTC snapshot.

Which AIN Contract Is the Real One?

The real AIN is the BNB Chain contract above. DexScreener searches at 14:17 UTC on 4 October returned 10 other tokens named Infinity Ground with the AIN ticker, four on Solana and three on Base. The other three sat on BNB Chain with addresses ending in ffff. Two of the Solana copies showed $47.7 million and $179.9 million of liquidity, more than 30 times the real token's pools. Match the address, never the name or the liquidity badge.

How to Buy Infinity Ground Safely

Phemex lists no AIN market. It delisted its AIN/USDT spot pair at 10:00 UTC on 8 September 2026, 14 months after listing it on 7 July 2025. The AIN/USDT perpetual it opened on 14 July 2025 also shows as Delisted in Phemex's product list at 12:20 UTC on 4 October. Our guide to what happens when a coin is delisted explains where that leaves holders.

On-chain, AIN trades in decentralized pools on BNB Chain. Copy the contract address from CoinMarketCap or CoinGecko and match all 42 characters before you swap, because the copies above share the name and the ticker.

The largest AIN/USDT pool opened on 4 July 2025 and held $1,388,452 at 12:40 UTC on 4 October, 99.37% of the $1,397,293 across DexScreener's eight pairs. GeckoTerminal's second-largest held $30,207 at 12:40 UTC, so any real order you place runs through one pool, and our guide to managing slippage in crypto shows what that costs. We didn't establish who controls that pool's liquidity, so look for a lock before you put size into it.

What Are the Risks of Infinity Ground?

An 86.50% one-day crash on 16 September

AIN's 16 September close of $0.0232334 was 65.96% below its 13 September close, so one bar erased the two-day rally and more.

Two addresses hold 40.72% of supply

The proxy contract and the three-signature Safe each held at least 200 million AIN at 14:12 UTC on 4 October. At the 3 October close, either stake was worth over six times the main pool's $1.39 million of liquidity.

Most of the supply isn't circulating yet

Between 68.10% and 81.47% of AIN falls outside the two circulating counts, depending on the feed, and no page we read dates its release.

Staking is paused

A buyer on 4 October couldn't stake for the rewards the utility page lists.

A shared ticker and a crowd of copies

AI Network, a different project, also trades as AIN. A search for the Infinity Ground coin by ticker or name can land you in that token or in one of the 10 same-name copies.

No published reason for either move

The project's Medium blog and Telegram announcement channel said nothing about the September run or the 3 October rally. That leaves a buyer unable to tell organic demand from the pattern our guide to spotting a pump and dumpdescribes.

Is Infinity Ground a Good Investment?

On the dated data, AIN trades on attention. Its blog, Telegram channel and white paper publish no IDE usage figures. The 3 October close of $0.0435653 sat 10.12% below the 31 December 2025 close of $0.0484713, so even after the 79.96% bar AIN has lost ground in 2026.

For the case to firm up, Infinity Ground would need to date the ING Network launch and show the IDE's usage. It would also need to reopen staking at a stated rate and publish a dated unlock schedule for the supply outside the circulating counts.

It suits you if you build in the IDE and need AIN for fees or a membership. It doesn't suit a buyer chasing the 3 October bar, because a token that fell 86.50% in one day with no announcement can fall that hard again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is behind Infinity Ground and the AIN token?

The stake page names the Infinity Ground Foundation as the provider of AIN staking. The white paper pages we read name no individuals, so this page names none.

Can you still trade or withdraw AIN on Phemex after the delisting?

Phemex's notice of 7 September 2026 ended AIN deposits and withdrawals at the same 10:00 UTC moment on 8 September as spot trading. After that time, the notice sends withdrawal requests to Phemex customer support.

Who can use the Infinity Ground IDE and staking under its terms?

The user agreement on the stake page bars people in or from mainland China, the United States and Singapore, plus sanctioned regions. It also sets a minimum age of 18.

What was the AIN token price at the 3 October close?

CoinGecko's series put the Infinity Ground price at $0.0435480 for that close. At CoinMarketCap's $0.0435653 close, its circulating count values AIN at about $13.90 million and the full billion at $43.57 million.

Final Thoughts

Infinity Ground has an IDE people can open, but its token moves on trader flows that the team hasn't addressed once on its blog or its Telegram channel. The next real catalyst is a document, either an unlock schedule or a dated ING Network launch. Until one appears, the 3 October close is a bounce inside the hole the 16 September crash dug.
