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.

​
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.//
