Revolutionizing AI Compute: GAIB Partners with Aethir to Launch First-Ever GPU Tokenization Product on BNB Chain
As AI and blockchain technology continue to advance rapidly, compute resources have become a critical asset. GAIB, the first economic layer for AI & Compute Future, aims to reshape the financing model for high-performance computing by tokenizing enterprise-grade GPUs and their revenue. We are excited to announce that GAIB is partnering with Aethir to officially launch the GPU tokenization pilot program on BNB Chain, with Amber Group serving as the exclusive partner for this initiative.
Why GPU Tokenization?
The explosive growth of AI, driven by large language models such as ChatGPT and Claude, has created an exponential demand for compute power. However, traditional investors are limited to indirect participation in AI infrastructure through equity markets, such as investing in companies like NVIDIA.
GAIB’s innovative approach aims to change this by:
- Directly tokenizing enterprise-grade GPUs and their revenue streams, enabling investors to access GPU-backed assets;
- Building a decentralized GPU funding marketplace, simplifying access to capital for compute providers;
- Offering investors Real-World Asset (RWA)-backed yields, bridging the gap between blockchain and AI infrastructure.
Details of the Pilot Program
The GAIB GPU Tokenization Pilot Program is a critical step toward the full-scale launch of GAIB’s products. It leverages BNB Chain to showcase the platform’s capabilities and potential. Supported by Amber Group, the pilot will target a select group of participants, with a limited investment cap of $100,000. This ensures a safe and controlled testing environment before scaling up for a public launch in Q1 2025.
The program introduces tokenized GPUs, an innovative tokenized GPU product developed in collaboration with Aethir, a decentralized computing platform. These tokens are backed by future GPU revenue and platform rewards, creating a new asset class for investors.
How It Works
1. Purchase Phase
- GAIB tokenizes compute providers’ future GPU revenue and rewards into tokenized GPUs.
- Investors can purchase tokenized GPUs using stablecoins (e.g., $USDT, $BUSD) or cryptocurrencies (e.g., $ETH, $BTC, $BNB).
- Compute providers receive stablecoins or fiat currencies upfront, locking in their anticipated revenue at a discount.
2. Revenue Distribution Phase
- Aethir periodically transfers GPU revenue and platform rewards to GAIB.
- Investors claim their rewards on GAIB’s platform, choosing between $ATH tokens (to benefit from potential price upside or stablecoins (with a conversion fee).
3. Maturity Phase
- Upon maturity, tokenized GPUs expire, and investors will no longer be entitled to future rewards.
Key Benefits
The pilot program provides significant value to all stakeholders:
For Compute Providers
- Early Access to Capital: Monetize GPU cash flows upfront through tokenization.
- Simplified Revenue Management: GAIB handles stablecoin-to-fiat conversion, reducing complexity.
- Increased Capital Efficiency: Immediate access to funds accelerates GPU scaling.
- Streamlined Operations: Simplifies financial and operational processes.
For Investors
- Yield Generation: Tokenized GPUs represent ownership of future GPU revenue and rewards.
- Direct AI Exposure: Invest directly in GPU assets without relying on traditional equity markets like NVIDIA stocks.
- Liquidity and Flexibility: Tokens can be freely traded on secondary markets for liquidity.
- Upside and Risk Management: Benefit from $ATH token appreciation while using hedging tools to manage downside risks.
For Aethir
- Enhanced Provider Experience: Simplifies revenue conversion, attracting more compute providers.
- Ecosystem Growth: Expands participation and strengthens the on-chain compute economy.
- Diversified $ATH Holders: Selling tokenized GPUs introduces new investors, reducing concentration risk and token pressure.
- Stronger Network: Enhances the robustness and scalability of Aethir’s ecosystem.
Looking Ahead: Tokenized GPU Compute Powered by GAIB
GAIB and Aethir’s GPU tokenization pilot program will launch in Q1 2025. Following the success of this pilot program, GAIB & Aethir plan to launch a full product line later in Q1 2025, targeting million dollars in tokenized GPU assets. This marks the emergence of a groundbreaking new asset class poised to redefine how AI infrastructure is financed. By combining GAIB and Aethir’s GPU computing expertise, we are creating a tokenized GPU economy, which will benefit the entire AI and Web3 industries globally.
This innovative initiative is just the start of GAIB’s mission to unlock the full potential of the AI GPU compute economy. Beyond the initial GPU tokenization program, GAIB will continue to develop innovative products including GPU-backed stablecoins, lending & borrowing, options and futures and other structured products. These initiatives will create unprecedented value for investors, compute providers, and the decentralized Web3 ecosystem, establishing new standards for how AI infrastructure is funded and traded in the digital age.
