Compute Labs plans to tokenize GPU devices, and the annualized return of stablecoins may reach 30%

Compute Labs Launches Token, Offering Partial Ownership of Industrial-Grade NVIDIA H200 GPUs, Each Priced Around $30,000 Author: Ian Allison Compiled by: TechFlow Computer Processors (Shutterstock) Key Highlights: - Based on existing enterprise GPU leasing agreements, the first $1 million "public treasury" is expected to yield approximately 30% annually. - Initial funding will be managed by InfraHub Compute, the investment division of NexGen Cloud. Compute Labs, a startup, is transforming industrial-grade GPUs powering AI data centers into revenue-generating fractional tokens, collaborating with enterprise-level AI cloud company NexGen Cloud to launch a $1 million "public treasury" ownership distribution plan. Currently, AI infrastructure capabilities and profitability are primarily concentrated among hyperscale service providers like AWS or large venture capital-backed companies. However, Compute Labs is attempting to provide token holders direct access to the profit potential of enterprise hardware, such as NVIDIA H200 GPUs priced around $30,000 each. Compute Labs states: "For investors, this pilot project offers the first opportunity to earn stable coin returns directly through real-time AI computing power, without managing hardware or relying on overvalued public company stocks." European-based NexGen, focusing on providing AI computing capabilities to clients, raised $45 million in funding in April. The initial funding for this project will be managed by its investment division, InfraHub Compute. How It Works: According to the press release, raised funds will be used by InfraHub to purchase GPUs, which will be fractionalized for investors and customers. The first "treasury" has raised $1 million from investors. The initial treasury will be equipped with top-tier NVIDIA GPUs currently used for "AI training and inference". Based on existing enterprise GPU leasing agreements, the annual yield (calculated in USDC) is expected to exceed 30%. Compute Labs' Chief Business Officer, Nikolay Filichkin, mentioned in an interview with CoinDesk that the project's target customers include data center operators with extra machine room space seeking additional computing capacity, similar to "mom-and-pop" operations in the data center domain. Filichkin explained: "When data centers use GPUs owned by investors, Compute Labs will manage through its protocol and balance sheet, leasing GPUs to data centers. After deducting costs like hosting and energy, net income will be returned to investors owning partial GPU computing power." These GPUs will be tokenized and fractionally stored in the treasury, then offered to individual investors in increments of a few hundred dollars. Additionally, Non-Fungible Tokens will be used to differentiate various tokenized GPU hardware investments. Compute Labs is supported by institutions including Protocol Labs, OKX Ventures, CMS Holdings, and Amber Group. The company adopts a unified 10% fixed fee structure for tokenization, asset management, and yield management. NexGen Cloud's Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer, Youlian Tzanev, stated: "This model assigns a concrete and tradable value to each GPU cycle, directly connecting supply, demand, and price by eliminating investor speculation, thus making the AI market more rational."
