3. Understanding the GNUS.ai Decentralized Network

How It Works

• Node Operation:


Node operators contribute compute power from their own devices. Each node provides about 1 TFlop of processing power.



• Payout Structure:


Every node earns GNUS tokens at a rate of $0.005 per hour of processing. This payout is made in tokens rather than fiat dollars.



• Token Distribution & Deflation:



• Of the $0.005 per hour, 10% (i.e., $0.0005) is captured by Genius Ventures (GV) as a commission.

• Additionally, 10% of the GNUS tokens paid for processing are burned (removed from circulation).
This deflationary mechanism reduces the total token supply over time.

Why Decentralization Matters

• No Centralized Hardware Investment:

Unlike a centralized cluster, GNUS nodes are operated by individuals. There is no need for billions in capital investments.



• Lower Operating Expenses:

The network’s actual OPEX is very low—mostly just the cost to maintain the software, blockchain, and coordination functions.



• Scalability:

The system scales by adding more nodes organically, with each new node further reducing the circulating supply through deflation.
