$GPU Token Launch
The launch of the $GPU token marks a major milestone in the evolution of GPU.net, a decentralized compute platform designed for performance, fairness, and true community ownership. Built to empower developers, builders, and contributors, $GPU is more than just a utility token; it's the backbone of a decentralized ecosystem that prioritises long-term value creation and sustainable growth.
With a total fixed supply of 200 million tokens, $GPU is engineered for long-term value creation, community driven growth, and sustainable tokenomics. Here's a closer look at how $GPU is redefining token distribution and network economics.
Token Allocation:
Community Allocation – 80%
The majority of the supply is reserved for the GPU.net community, including developers, node operators, and Subnet creators. There are no allocations for team, foundation, advisors, or marketing, ensuring maximal decentralization and fair distribution.
Investor Allocation – 10%
A modest 10% is allocated to early investors to support platform development without centralizing power.
Liquidity Reserve – 10%
This portion ensures initial and ongoing liquidity across trading platforms and decentralized exchanges.
Deflationary Model:
$GPU follows a carefully designed deflationary issuance mechanism to preserve long-term value. The block rate is doubled till 50% of total liquidity and then infinitely halved. Also, all the gas fees earned is burnt to create a deflationary pressure.
Subnet Ownership & Rewards:
A cornerstone of GPU.net’s architecture is Subnets that serve as isolated, community hosted environments designed to run specialised services or workloads securely and independently. Every new Subnet begins with a block rate of 1,440 $GPU per day.
The actual $GPU share earned by a Subnet is governed by community voting, which takes into account:
Subnet visibility
Product quality
Revenue generation and traction
This model ensures that those who build, maintain, and grow valuable infrastructure are proportionally rewarded in a trusted and transparent way.
Token Utility:
Transaction Fees: All on-chain operations are settled in $GPU.
Staking: Secure Subnets or validator roles require staking $GPU, introducing slashing risks and rewards.
Governance: Token holders can vote on protocol upgrades, incentive programs, and community proposals.
