Nebula AI's GPU Marketplace is a decentralized, peer-to-peer platform where users can rent or lease GPU compute power in a trustless environment. Designed to eliminate intermediaries and inefficiencies found in centralized cloud providers, the marketplace ensures transparent pricing, on-chain transactions, and automated resource allocation through smart contracts.
The marketplace enables:
GPU Providers to monetize their idle hardware by leasing it to users in need of high-performance compute.
GPU Renters to access scalable and cost-efficient computing resources for AI training, rendering, scientific simulations, and other computationally intensive tasks.
All transactions within the marketplace are processed using $NAI via smart contracts, ensuring secure, verifiable, and immutable agreements between renters and providers.
Nebula AI operates on a decentralized matching protocol, where GPU renters and providers interact through smart contracts, removing reliance on third parties. The marketplace dynamically adjusts to supply and demand through an autonomous pricing mechanism.
For GPU Renters
Browse Listings – explore available GPU configurations, filtering by compute power, memory, pricing, and geographic location.
Set Rental Terms – Renters specify duration, storage needs, and optional extras such as dedicated bandwidth.
Smart Contract Execution – The rental agreement is executed on-chain, securing both funds and resource allocation.
Access & Compute – Once confirmed, renters receive connection details (SSH, Jupyter, or API access) to use the GPU instantly.
Terminate or Extend – Upon completion, users can extend their session or finalize the rental, releasing resources back to the marketplace.
For GPU Providers
List Hardware – Providers register their GPUs, specifying performance details, pricing models, availability and ratings.
Automated Matching – The marketplace algorithm ranks available GPUs based on renter preferences and pricing.
Lease Confirmation – When a renter initiates a contract, the provider's GPU is allocated and locked for the specified period.
Passive Revenue Generation – Payments are processed in real-time, and earnings are claimable in $NAI.
Reputation & Optimization – Providers with high uptime and reliability receive priority in ranking, increasing visibility and rental frequency.
Decentralized Matching Engine
GPU resources are allocated automatically through an order-matching protocol, ensuring that demand is efficiently met with available supply.
Renters receive transparent, up-to-date pricing based on real-time market conditions.
On-Chain Transactions & Smart Contract Enforcement
Rentals are governed by immutable Ethereum smart contracts, preventing fraud and ensuring that payments are securely locked and released upon successful rental completion.
Both parties are protected by escrow mechanisms, eliminating disputes.
Dynamic Pricing with Maximum Fair Price (MFP) Mechanism
The Maximum Fair Price (MFP) model regulates rental costs, preventing extreme price fluctuations and ensuring fair market participation for both renters and providers.
Two Rental Modes: Spot vs. On-Demand
Spot Rentals allows users to access GPUs at lower rates but with potential interruptions.
On-Demand Rentals secure exclusive access to GPUs for uninterrupted workloads.
Seamless dApp Integration
The Nebula AI marketplace is fully integrated with its Web3 dApp, enabling direct wallet-based transactions and account management.
API support allows automated resource provisioning for developers and enterprises.
Scalability & Infrastructure Efficiency
GPU providers can register individual machines or entire Nebula Fleets, optimizing large-scale deployment and resource distribution.
AI Developers & Researchers – Train large-scale machine learning models, fine-tune LLMs, and run complex AI simulations on high-performance GPUs without infrastructure constraints.
Blockchain & Crypto Miners – Utilize decentralized GPU power for mining operations, reducing dependency on centralized cloud services while maintaining cost efficiency.
Creative Professionals – Accelerate 3D rendering, VFX compositing, and video editing workflows through high-compute GPUs optimized for media production.
Enterprises & Startups – Scale resources dynamically, eliminating the need for upfront hardware investments while ensuring on-demand access to GPU power for business-critical applications.
