GPUNET: From Genesis to TGE > Our Journey and What’s Next

GPUNET was founded with a simple goal: make high-performance compute accessible to everyone. In a world dominated by centralized GPU monopolies, we’ve built an infrastructure powered by real hardware, real users, and real incentives. As we approach TGE on June 6th, 2025, here’s a deep dive into what we’ve built, how we’ve grown, and where we’re heading.

1️⃣ Tokenomics & Supply: Community-First, Scarcity-Driven

GPUNET’s tokenomics are designed for long-term sustainability and user ownership:

• 80% of total token supply is for the community.
• No team, no foundation, no advisory, no marketing allocations.
• 10% allocated to investors.
• 10% reserved for liquidity.
  

> Our doubling cycle model ensures a 50% circulating supply cap until 2028, creating a built-in scarcity and deflationary pressure as adoption scales.

> Subnet Ownership: Every subnet owner earns a direct percentage share of $GPU rewards, making subnet creation a path to long-term value accrual.

> Target Market Cap: We’re targeting a $16 token price at 50M supply, which translates to an $800M market cap.

GPU.net tokenomics is an economic model built for long-term value, aligning users directly with network growth.

2️⃣ Datacenters, Infrastructure & GAN Chain Stats

GPUNET is a fully operational compute network:

• 4 active datacenters integrated directly into the dApp.
• 60+ active GPU providers contributing compute capacity.
• 300+ validators securing the GAN Chain L1.
• 50+ active subnets powering AI, gaming, and compute-focused projects.

GAN Chain is the foundation, a custom L1 designed for scalable compute. Validators maintain network integrity, while GPU providers supply real-time hardware capacity. 

Network Stats:

• 6050+ nodes globally
• 300+ public validators
• Provider nodes earn up to 480 $GPU/day
• Queen nodes earn ~200% APR on staked $GPU
• Dapp: 10K+ accounts, 426 Queens, 294 active validators, 66 providers, 190K GP staked.
• Subnets: 50+ AI & compute-focused projects live.

Product Progress: 

• GAN Chain Nova Upgrade: New rewards model (50% to compute providers, 50% to stakers).
  

• Subnets Beta: 500+ subnets created, 5 no-code templates live.
  

• Barrel NFTs: Launched on Solana, usable for compute credits, swaps, and dApp redemptions.
  

• DApp Updates: Public dashboard live with real-time GPU listings, rentals, and user accounts.
  

• AI Enhancements: 10% faster LLM inference, MLPerf benchmarks, MIG clusters deployed.
  

• Questboard: 100+ quests live, GXP system, Barrel + Alliance Quests integrated. Questboard 2.0 in development: Deeper integrations, higher engagement.
  

• AI Agents: Twitter + Subnet AI Agents live, more coming.
  

 Major Clients & Partnerships

• Enterprise Clients:
  • SFCompute (US): Serves Princeton University.
  • Datambit (UK): Supports UK Gov.
  • Nasscom (India): Supports 500+ startups.
  • Morphic Films (ex-Polygon founder Jayanti): Anime AI generator.
• Enterprise clients access bare metal compute directly, outside the dApp.
  

• 5MW facility acquired in Bangalore, India (NVIDIA H200 GPUs).
  

• $3M 4090 deployment in Hong Kong for low-latency compute.
  

• UAE partnership with G42 for GPU deployment + operations.
  

• Strategic talks with Viettel (Vietnam) for colocation.
  

• Northern Data partnership (Europe): 25K GPUs access.
  

• AMD partnership for 2.4x HPC performance over H100.
• Partners:
  • NTT, Northern Data, Bytedance, G42.
  • U2U Network → DePIN Alliance.
    

3️⃣ Real Revenue: Proven Monetization, Clear Path to Growth

GPUNET is a business with revenue and profit:

• $10M+ revenue generated to date.
• $500K+ profit distributed to node holders.
• Target: $40M revenue milestone to scale buybacks.

Our Questboard product alone has onboarded over 500K users, proof that we can drive demand and adoption. Our core metric moving forward is ROCE (Return on Capital Employed), maximizing the value generated per dollar spent and ROI (Return on Investment) for every contributor, from node operators to subnet creators. 

4️⃣ USDT Buyback: A Commitment to Value Accretion

• Plan is to Buyback $4M of $GPU as revenue scales.
• 80% of investors token have been bought back, keeping token supply clean and focused. Around $4M in USDT already bought back from investors, 80% early investors bought out = clean cap table.
  

Next targets:

• $40M revenue → $GPU buybacks = real value accrual.
  

The buyback program is not just a marketing line, it’s an operational policy. As we scale revenue, we scale buybacks. Every dollar earned is a step closer to sustained value for $GPU holders.

6️⃣ Vision & Future Plans

AI is here, 90% of jobs will vanish.Motorized cars replaced horses; motorized minds (AI) will replace humans. Compute is the fuel for this future, own compute, own $GPU, own the economy.

Here what’s next for GPUNet

🔹 TGE on 6 June – $GPU launches on Ethereum and Uniswap.

🔹 Cross-chain Roadshow:

• 20 June: Mint $GPU-ETH on Base via Aerodome
  

• 24 June: Mint $GPU-USDT on Hyperliquid
  

• 27 June: Mint $GPU-USDT on BSC (Pancakeswap)
  

• 30 June: Mint $GPU-USDT on Sui (Cetus)
  

• Upcoming: Mint $GPU-USDC on Solana (Jupiter)
  

🔹 Post-TGE Roadmap:

• Questboard Season 2 and GXP > GPU conversion. More rewards, new campaigns.
