Question 1

What is OGPU?

Accepted Answer

OGPU is the native utility token of the OpenGPU Network. The network aggregates GPU computing power from different locations for AI inference, training, rendering, and other high-performance computing tasks; OGPU is used for payment, fees, and participation-related functions within the network. The official materials position it as a utility token. Holding OGPU does not represent ownership of shares in the related company and carries no rights to dividends, revenue, profits, or redemption.

Question 2

What uses does OGPU have in the network?

Accepted Answer

OGPU can be used to pay for computing tasks and to pay transaction fees (Gas) on the OpenGPU blockchain. The former corresponds to the cost for users to obtain GPU computing resources, while the latter corresponds to the network fees required for on-chain operations; both are part of network settlement, but they serve different stages.

Question 3

How do GPU providers earn OGPU?

Accepted Answer

Customers or developers first submit computing requirements, and the network then matches and routes them to GPU providers that meet the task requirements. Providers can receive OGPU compensation only after executing and completing a task; merely registering equipment is not equivalent to receiving compensation. Task requirements, available hardware, and network matching conditions affect whether a provider can take on a task. Customers can view task and resource status, while providers can track tasks and the corresponding compensation.

Question 4

Is locking OGPU always required to provide GPU computing power?

Accepted Answer

According to the current provider onboarding guide, registering hardware and becoming a GPU provider does not itself require locking OGPU. Therefore, being able to register equipment to provide computing power should not be directly equated with having to stake tokens first. However, the official legal disclaimer also describes potential staking and penalty arrangements that may apply to certain network roles. The former describes the basic registration process, while the latter concerns specific roles or participation rules; before participating, you should confirm the current conditions for your own role.

Question 5

Does holding OGPU mean owning equity in OpenGPU?

Accepted Answer

No. OGPU is a utility token of the OpenGPU Network; holding it does not represent ownership of shares in the related company and carries no rights to dividends, revenue, profits, or redemption. Network usage functions cannot therefore be used to infer ownership of company assets or operating income.

Question 6

How is OGPU's supply set?

Accepted Answer

The OpenGPU Litepaper's token economic model sets OGPU's maximum total supply at 21 million tokens and links token incentives to network participation and development support. This figure is the model cap in the Litepaper; it does not mean that this amount has been issued, unlocked, or is actually circulating at any given time.

Question 7

How does the OpenGPU Network allocate computing tasks?

Accepted Answer

Task allocation is based on matching task requirements with available GPU resources: after a customer submits requirements, the network routes the task to providers that meet the conditions; after a provider completes execution, the task status and corresponding compensation can be tracked. Therefore, tasks are not allocated solely based on whether a provider is online. Hardware type, performance, and task conditions affect matching, and customers and providers can respectively track resource, task, and compensation status.

Question 8

Does OGPU promise investment returns?

Accepted Answer

No return is promised. OGPU is positioned to serve usage and interactions within the OpenGPU Network, and the official legal disclaimer does not grant it a fixed value or rights to profits, revenue, or redemption. The network having use cases is not equivalent to a fixed investment return.
