GPUNET Subnets is a decentralized launchpad and marketplace built on GAN Chain, our Layer 1 blockchain. This scalable ecosystem enables creators, individuals, and businesses to launch GPU-powered projects (called Subnets), access global decentralized GPU resources, and earn $GPU tokens through community-driven validation.
Subnets operate on a hybrid Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. Each Subnet utilizes distributed GPU compute, is governed by community votes, and is incentivized through $GPU emissions. Whether building AI tools, bots, creative services, or tokens, Subnets represent the foundation of a new decentralized GPU-powered economy.
Subnets are designed as innovation accelerators—equipped with tools, incentives, and infrastructure to turn ideas into scalable projects.
Enable Creativity: Empower users to launch GPU-enabled projects with instant access to decentralized resources.
Scale Seamlessly: Support millions of Subnets through a modular, scalable architecture.
Reward Proven Value: Distribute $GPU based on demonstrated utility and verified proof of work.
Decentralize Resources: Transition computational power into the hands of a globally distributed, community-governed network.
Creators (Kings) Deploy and showcase innovative Subnets. Creators earn daily $GPU rewards based on the value and proof of work of their projects as validated by the community.
Voters (Queens) Stake $GPU to receive voting power. Queens assess the legitimacy, impact, and performance of Subnets and are rewarded with daily $GPU emissions based on their staking and voting contributions.
Users Engage with affordable, community-built services powered by decentralized GPU compute. Subnets offer tools such as bots, creative content services, and automation platforms.
Investors Gain early exposure to a high-growth ecosystem where $GPU lies at the core of Subnet development, staking, and service-based utility.
The Subnets Beta (Version 1.0) marks the first deployment of our marketplace infrastructure. This release allows Kings (creators) to launch and operate Subnets, Queens (Voters) to assess their quality, and the network to allocate GPU resources—all fully on-chain.
Key Features
One Subnet per User Encourages focused development by allowing each participant to manage a single project during the beta phase.
Editable Subnet Pages Creators can fully customize their Subnet Detail Page to display metrics, milestones, and proof of work for community validation.

Stake $GPU on Your Subnet Demonstrate long-term commitment by staking $GPU to increase subnet visibility and signal trust to voters.
Promote Your Subnet Share your Subnet on social media and community channels. Encourage your followers to engage, explore, and vote.
By following these practices, creators not only improve their earnings but also enhance the visibility and impact of their subnet across the ecosystem.
Queens play a crucial role in maintaining the quality and integrity of the GPUNET Subnet ecosystem by voting on high-impact projects. In return, they earn daily $GPU rewards for their participation and support.
Role of Queens
Stake $GPU for Voting Power: Queens stake $GPU to gain voting rights within the ecosystem.
Vote on Subnets: Allocate votes to promising subnets based on their proof of work and community value.
Earn Block Rewards: Receive daily $GPU rewards proportional to voting activity and total network participation.
Ensure Project Quality: Queens validate and signal the most impactful and credible projects.
Voting Mechanics
Conversion Rate: 1 $GPU Stake = 1 Weightage Point (WP) 1 WP = 1 Vote
Vote Refresh: Votes are replenished daily through auto-staking of earned rewards.
Changing Votes: Votes that are cast on a subnet can be withdrawn and reallocated to a different subnet at any time. However, please note that only active (cast) votes are eligible for daily reward calculations. Unused or uncast votes do not contribute to your daily $GPU rewards.
Unstaking Effects: Removing staked tokens will reduce your active votes and, in turn, your influence and rewards.
How to Stake
Get $GPU: Acquire $GPU tokens through exchanges or by earning them within the ecosystem.
Stake as a Queen: Stake your $GPU via the staking interface on your profile page to activate your voting power.
Vote on Subnets: Explore the Subnet Marketplace and vote on subnets based on their potential and proof of work.
Monitor Performance: Track the growth and engagement of the subnets you’ve supported and observe $GPU valuation trends.
Returns
Early Participation Advantage: Queens who stake early benefit from higher visibility and compounding returns as network adoption grows.
Passive Earnings: Voting daily on impactful subnets can yield consistent $GPU rewards tied to the block emission rate.
Queens (voters) share in the block rewards alongside network validators. These rewards are distributed based on a combination of Proof of Stake (PoS) and Voting Activity, ensuring those who contribute to governance and validation are fairly compensated.
Reward Calculation Formula

CopyEdit
Rewards = (Votes Cast / Total Votes Cast) * (Block Rate – Validator Rewards)
The more actively and strategically you vote, the higher your share of the daily rewards.

The $GPU network operates on a structured emission model, with earnings scaling as adoption grows. Below is the expected daily issuance over time:
Testnet Phase (May 2025): 480 $GPU/day
Mainnet Launch (Estimated June 2025): 1440 $GPU/day
First Doubling (Estimated August 2025): 2880 $GPU/day
Second Doubling (Estimated December 2025): 5760 $GPU/day
These values represent the estimated distribution of $GPU tokens per day, providing an incentive structure for early adopters and active contributors.
The price of $GPU is expected to fluctuate based on market demand and network growth. For estimation purposes, here are earnings projections based on potential price points:
$2 per GPU
$3 per GPU
$4 per GPU
$5 per GPU
As the ecosystem grows, serious subnet operators will play a key role in securing and expanding the network. Below is the estimated average earning per subnet based on projected emission rates:
Quarter Estimated Earnings Per Subnet (USD)
Q1 (March) $576 / month
Q2 (April) $1,296 / month
Q3 (August) $2,304 / month
Q4 (December) $4,320 / month
Being in the top 1% of subnets can significantly boost earnings, potentially increasing rewards by 2x to 10x. Earnings are influenced by:
Reputation & Performance – High-performing subnets receive more votes.
Community Support – The more votes you get from Queens, the higher your potential earnings.
At GPUNET, we envision a dynamic, scalable, and AI-driven future where launching and running decentralized businesses becomes seamless and accessible to all. We are building powerful tools and smart features to transform every Subnet into a fully functional, self-sustaining micro-economy. Here’s what’s coming:
Creators will be able to launch entire projects with the help of AI. From ideation to execution, AI agents will guide subnet creators in setting up their businesses—accelerating development and reducing time to market.
Easily create Subnet pages by simply describing your project in natural language. Our AI will instantly convert your description into a professional, on-chain, fully editable website that showcases your Subnet's purpose, proof of work, and features.
Subnets will be able to run their tools, bots, and AI agents directly on decentralized GPU infrastructure. This enables real-time, reliable access to AI-powered products, right from the Subnet page.
Each Subnet will support native product listings, allowing Kings to showcase multiple offerings—from AI services to digital tools and decentralized apps—all discoverable and accessible to users.
Users will be able to interact with and purchase Subnet products directly via the Subnet page, using $GPU and other supported tokens. This brings real, on-chain revenue to Subnet creators and promotes network utility.
Users can leave ratings and feedback for each Subnet. This transparent feedback system helps evaluate a Subnet’s ongoing Proof of Work and drives credibility and trust within the community.
Kings will soon have the ability to allocate a percentage of their Subnet's block rewards to their voters (Queens). This creates a collaborative ecosystem where voters are further incentivized to support high-quality Subnets.
To sustain long-term network growth, Kings will be encouraged to pledge back a portion of their Subnet rewards to the GPUNET ecosystem—supporting infrastructure, future rewards, and protocol development.
These upcoming features will turn GPUNET Subnets into the easiest and most powerful launchpad for decentralized innovation—bridging the gap between creators and users, while ensuring transparency, reward fairness, and ecosystem sustainability.
