There's a lot of talk about GPU shortages.

@elonmusk thinks we can solve the problem by putting data centers in space. Very cool. Not very practical. It would take 3+ years. And AI projects need solutions today.

The real issue for most people, isn't shortages, it's access.

There are GPUs out there. What projects need is a way to easily access them and seamlessly deploy them. That's where we come in.

Star wars is great. But decentralized compute solves the problem today. May the Force of DePIN be with you.

There is a big difference between being simply good, and being good for something.

We grew out of the realization that access to high-power, affordable compute, is the line between success and failure in AI.

From day 1 we've been committed to ensuring as many teams as possible have the chance to build both great products and successful businesses.

Check out how we helped Leonardo Ai scale from 14K to 19M users while cutting GPU costs by 50%.

Access to GPUs is key to succeeding in AI.

Great ideas matter. Talented teams matter. Perfect product-market fit matters.

But without accessible and affordable GPUs, even the most amazing projects can't succeed.

Most data centers aren't ready for the exponential increase in demand. And the ones that are charge prices most people can't afford.

That's why we're here: to increase access and affordability so everyone has a fair chance to bring innovative ideas to market.

DePIN compute isn’t just a narrative. It’s a reality.

In 2025, DePIN crossed $40B in market cap. In 2026, more companies of all sizes will be deploying.

This isn't speculation, it's happening.

When big AI rivals come together to create an accelerator, it should probably raise a few eyebrows.

Getting a startup off the ground is one thing. Ensuring they have a path to long-term success is another.

With AI startups spending up to 60% of their budgets on infrastructure, building with Big Tech comes at unseen and unpredictable costs.

Our goal is to make infrastructure affordable and accessible for the long term. That can be the difference between getting started and getting an innovative product to market.

When Big Cloud prioritizes margins over user growth, DePIN’s benefits will be undeniable.

AWS’s 15% price increase suggests this is already happening.

That’s why we built a way to access GPU clusters around the world that works better, scales faster, & costs less.

AWS recently raised their prices... again.

These costs keep devs and startups from having a fair chance to succeed.

And we're not okay with that.

That's why while these “hyperscalers” are busy hiking prices, we’re busy opening doors for founders and builders. 🚪✨

AI builders currently have very few options for GPU compute, and they’re all Big Cloud providers.

And if you want to avoid the costs of buying GPUs for your model, what do you do?

The answer is DePIN.

Always-on AI agents don’t run on waitlists.
They run on scalable GPU infrastructure.

Here’s why it matters 👇

Up to 60% of an AI startup's budget goes to infrastructure costs.

Not engineering. Not product development. Not sales or marketing. Infrastructure.

But there's another way.

Decentralized compute can cut costs by 70%. That can be the difference between bringing a killer product to market and turning off the lights.

Utility.

It's that simple. That's what's driving real growth in DePIN.

That's why we rebuilt our tokenomics model to be demand driven and utility focused.

AI’s hidden cost isn’t models, it’s compute.

@Gaurav_ionet breaks down why fintechs underestimate how quickly centralized cloud economics erode AI ROI, and why success with users doesn’t always translate to success on the balance sheet.
