🔧 How GPUAI Tokens Are Used
The GPUAI token is the backbone of the protocol’s economy. It enables a fully decentralized, fair, and transparent ecosystem by serving multiple essential functions:
✅ 1. Pay for Compute
Developers, researchers, and enterprises use GPUAI tokens to:
Train AI models
Run inference jobs
Schedule distributed compute tasks
Tokens are the native currency of compute within the GPUAI network.
✅ 2. Staking for Job Eligibility
GPU contributors (node operators) stake GPUAI tokens to:
Become eligible for higher-value jobs
Improve their node’s trust score
Unlock performance-based reward tiers
The more reliable a node, the more it can earn — staking boosts that.
✅ 3. Contributor Rewards
After completing a job, nodes are:
Automatically paid in GPUAI tokens
Scored on uptime, speed, and accuracy
Ranked in a performance-based reputation system
Tokens are earned, not mined — through real compute work.
✅ 4. Reputation Boosting
Staking tokens also:
Signals reliability to the network
Increases the chance of receiving frequent job assignments
Helps contributors scale their GPU business over time
✅ 5. Governance Participation
GPUAI tokens allow holders to:
Vote on reward emission rates
Approve ecosystem fund spending
Shape protocol upgrades through DAO governance
