What is GAIB? GPU becomes a financial product, the economic layer of AI infrastructure explodes.

GAIB (GPU·AI·Blockchain) is the world's first economic layer for AI infrastructure, transforming real-world AI assets—GPUs, Bots, and AI energy systems—into tradable and rewarding on-chain tools. The protocol establishes a unified framework for the tokenization, verification, and financialization of productive artificial intelligence assets, turning their operational metrics into verifiable on-chain rewards.

What is GAIB? Solving the structural fracture between AI and DeFi

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) represents two of the most transformative technological paradigms of modern times. However, despite their vast scales and complementary potentials, these ecosystems have developed independently, leading to structural inefficiencies. DeFi has vast on-chain liquidity, but it remains primarily constrained by endogenous mechanisms that are disconnected from real-world economic activities. In contrast, the exponential growth in the AI field is limited by centralized and permissioned capital formation processes, restricting global participation in the financing of its infrastructure.

Training and deploying advanced artificial intelligence models requires substantial capital investment in dedicated hardware, ranging from GPU data centers to embodied robotic systems. The cost of a single NVIDIA H200 GPU exceeds $30,000, while large-scale clusters require hundreds of millions of dollars in upfront capital expenditure. However, existing financing models—venture capital, private equity, and corporate debt—remain centralized, opaque, and regionally restricted, which not only hinders the formation of capital but also excludes a large number of potential global participants.

As a result, the market has experienced a fundamental split: the excess potential and globally distributed liquidity in the DeFi space is still disconnected from the global demand for productive capital in the artificial intelligence sector. As OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said, “Computation is the currency of the future.” However, this “currency” currently circulates only among a few hyperscale cloud service providers and cloud computing groups. Thus, computation is like gold before the futures market emerged—a scarce commodity with enormous potential value, but lacking transparent trading or diversified ownership mechanisms.

GAIB has introduced this long-lacking economic layer—a coordination infrastructure designed specifically for the artificial intelligence economy. Its goal is not to reshape DeFi or replicate cloud networks, but to achieve synchronization between capital markets and computational infrastructure through verifiable digital representations and rule-based coordination.

Five Core Structures of the Modular Economic Layer

The modular economic framework of GAIB consists of five levels that are both independent and interrelated. This design is inspired by the evolution of modular Blockchain architecture, breaking down the complex process of connecting off-chain productive assets with on-chain liquidity into dedicated and interoperable layers.

Blockchain Settlement Layer: As the authoritative recording environment of the GAIB economic layer, it provides an immutable, censorship-resistant ledger for all verified asset states and economic events. The GAIB protocol will establish its own Layer 2 network GAIB L2 (GAIB chain) while maintaining its blockchain-agnostic design, built on the powerful OP Stack, which is an optimistic rollup network that inherits Ethereum's security while offering higher throughput and significantly reduced transaction costs.

Asset Verification Layer: Serving as a decentralized trust bridge between the off-chain world and the on-chain ecosystem, it utilizes the GAIB verification network architecture, leveraging the shared security of re-staking protocols like EigenLayer and Symbiotic. Validators are required to cryptographically sign the existence, operational status, and performance data of AI assets. Any false certification can be challenged through an anti-fraud mechanism and face confiscation penalties.

Tokenization Layer: Responsible for creating on-chain representations of verified real-world assets, defining the digital carrier - the token - which encapsulates the verified attributes, ownership, and economic relationships of the underlying artificial intelligence infrastructure. The key innovation lies in its multi-standard compatibility, capable of accommodating unique non-fungible assets (e.g., specific robotic arms ERC-721) to homogeneous rights of asset pools (e.g., GPU computing time ERC-20).

Financialization Layer: The economic core that constitutes the GAIB protocol, defining how to transform verified off-chain productivity from artificial intelligence infrastructure into programmable on-chain value. It facilitates on-chain liquidity inflow into productive off-chain artificial intelligence infrastructure through a legally regulated structure unaffected by bankruptcy, and converts verified real-world performance into on-chain economic adjustments.

Liquidity Layer: As the external interface between the GAIB ecosystem and the broader DeFi space, it ensures that the tokenized AI infrastructure maintains liquidity, composability, and accessibility in the global on-chain market. It enables GAIB assets to be listed, traded, and utilized on decentralized exchanges (DEX), money markets, and structured finance protocols.

AID Revolutionary Design of Artificial Intelligence Synthesized US Dollar

AID (Artificial Intelligence Synthetic Dollar) is the first product built on the GAIB modular economic layer. It serves as the foundational settlement asset of the ecosystem, providing stability, transparency, and interoperability for the capital flowing into the artificial intelligence economy. AID is designed as a cross-chain synthetic dollar, embodying the principles of reliability, auditability, and composability.

AID is a stable asset that does not generate returns, fully backed 1:1 by high-quality, highly liquid reserves including U.S. Treasuries, cash equivalents, and major stablecoins (such as USDC and USDT). The issuance and redemption of GAIB are conducted through its reserve contract, allowing users to redeem AID at par using accepted collateral. Each transaction is transparently recorded on-chain and maintained with verifiable reserve balances through regular audits and cryptographic proofs of collateral.

sAID (Staked Artificial Intelligence Dollar) is the receipt token that users receive after staking AID into GAIB's ERC-4626 vault, representing the user's corresponding ownership of the underlying capital allocated to the verified AI infrastructure portfolio. When a user deposits AID, the system mints an equivalent amount of sAID, and the deposited AID flows into tokenized AI infrastructure assets. As these assets generate verified value, the net asset value (NAV) of the vault increases, while the supply of sAID remains constant, but each token represents a greater claim on the underlying collateral.

GAIB Token Economics and Governance Framework

GAIB Token is the core coordination and security asset of the GAIB ecosystem, with a total supply cap of 1 billion tokens. The allocation mechanism is designed to promote balanced participation among contributors, validators, and community members.

Token Distribution Structure

Community: 40% (network rewards, community incentives, and airdrops)

Core Contributors: 20.70% (Core contributors and advisors, 48 months vesting)

Early Supporters: 19.82% (Early supporters and sponsors, 36 months vesting)

Ecosystem and Growth: 19.48% (Ecosystem Growth, Returns, and Liquidity)

During the Token Generation Event (TGE), only 20.48% of the circulating supply is unlocked, with 10% of the community portion unlocking immediately and 10.48% of the ecosystem and growth portion unlocking. Core contributors and early supporters will begin linear vesting after a 12-month lock-up period to ensure long-term alignment of interests.

GAIB Token connects validators, users, and partners through an integrated utility mechanism. Users can lock GAIB into veGAIB (Voting Escrow Token) to gain governance rights, allowing them to vote on key decisions such as approving new real-world asset classes, determining new chain deployments, and adjusting protocol fee structures. GAIB Token, through staking and re-staking mechanisms, constitutes the economic security pillar of the GAIB Active Validator System (AVS), with violations triggering automatic forfeitures. A portion of the protocol fees will be used to pay validator rewards, treasury reserves, and ecosystem incentives.

Trillion Dollar Market Opportunities and Development Roadmap

The integration of artificial intelligence and decentralized finance will bring one of the most important interdisciplinary opportunities in the next decade. Current market forecasts indicate that by 2030, the potential scale of the integration of artificial intelligence × risk-weighted assets × decentralized finance will exceed several trillion dollars. GAIB is at the core of the trillion-dollar RWA, artificial intelligence, Bots, and synthetic dollar markets.

The development of GAIB is divided into three stages. The first stage (completed) deployed the blockchain settlement layer on Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, Sei, Story, and Arbitrum, launched a financial layer with on-chain value distribution capabilities, successfully tokenized and injected liquidity into the initial GPU infrastructure, and initiated preliminary DeFi integration with lending, yield derivative product protocols, and decentralized exchanges.

The second phase (in progress) is integrating with EigenLayer and Symbiotic to achieve re-staking security, developing the GAIB chain based on the OP Stack, which features a native L1-L2 bridge, a dedicated cross-chain explorer for cross-chain transactions, and interoperability with the OP Superchain. The third phase (planned) will expand the scope to new categories of AI-native assets and data markets, achieving cross-chain liquidity aggregation to unify capital flows across various ecosystems.

In an era where computing power determines technological and economic strength, GAIB represents a simple truth — whoever controls artificial intelligence controls the universe. Through decentralization, GAIB ensures that control is not held by a few but is shared within an open global system, allowing everyone to participate.
