Full utilization
Rent via Console when demanded; idle-mine GPU/CPU into ABA. No provider inflation.
Investor overview · Pre-seed
SANDBOX LIVE
Compute that pays for itself. An investment thesis you can check against milestones.
Abakos is building a PoS compute network for maximum hardware income: buyers deploy CPU, RAM, GPU and storage via the Console in ABA; idle GPU/CPU mines the most profitable coin and auto-converts into ABA. ABA is not minted as a compute subsidy. Claims below are design targets or named milestones, not live production facts.
At a glance
What you'd actually be committing to.
Preferred instrumentCompute vouchers / grants / strategic capital against a fixed 10B ABA genesis, not a public token sale.
Supply10B ABA fixed at genesis. No mining emission bucket for providers.
Illustrative DEX start~$0.002 per ABA (~$20M FDV), with meaningful USDC pool depth rather than dumping the full liquidity bucket.
Target raise$1.5M pre-seed shaped. Staged option from a smaller first close.
That's the five-line version. Everything below is the detail behind it, on this page, so you don't have to email us just to get the basics.
Why now
Compute is structurally scarce. Supply is structurally centralized.
AI infrastructure spend keeps climbing while a handful of hyperscalers still control most data-center GPU capacity. That gap is why decentralized compute exists at all. The figures below are third-party category estimates, shown to size the space, not Abakos forecasts.

$8.9B → $22.5BDecentralized compute market, 2026 to 2030, third-party industry estimate

Idle wasteMost rental networks leave GPU/CPU idle hours unmonetized
Third-party market estimates, not Abakos-specific projections. Cited only to show the category is real.
The moat
The combination, not one feature.
Akash proved the whole product suite: a Console, Chat, a managed inference API (AkashML) and idle consumer-GPU monetization (Homenode). Abakos runs that suite on its own chain and adds a Provider Agent that keeps hardware fully utilized: Console rentals for CPU, RAM, GPU and storage, plus idle GPU/CPU mining auto-converted into ABA, with ABA wallet demand at MVP and Chat/API as demand engines. Fiat to ABA comes later.
Console + ABA wallet
Templates and bundles; every paid deploy creates ABA demand. No Stripe in MVP.
Demand engine
Developer API and Chat feed work into the same network.
Akash
Full product suite and mature rails. Idle capacity earns only while serving inference; the token is often behind fiat credits.
io.net / Vast.ai
Real rental demand today, but idle GPU/CPU hours are usually wasted.
Generic DePIN mining
Mints tokens to hosts on a schedule, decoupled from real compute demand.
Abakos
Own PoS chain, max-income Agent, Console bundles, ABA wallet MVP, idle GPU/CPU mining into ABA, Chat/API demand.
Business model
Fees on real volume. Not provider minting.
Protocol revenue comes from settlement fees and the Chat product markup. Provider pay comes from buyers or from mining proceeds auto-converted into ABA. There is no inflation: validators and stakers are paid from protocol fees and the staker share of the mining and Chat cuts.
| Flow | Rate | Split / note |
|---|---|---|
| Console / API / CPU / Storage settlement | 3% | 1% stakers / 1% treasury / 1% burn |
| Idle mining buyback cut | 12% | 88% to host as ABA; 4% stakers + 4% treasury + 4% burn |
| Abakos Chat / API product markup | +12% | 4% stakers + 4% treasury + 4% burn; provider net matches the Console, then 3% fee |
| Inflation | 0% | Fixed 10B supply; stakers paid from fees + cut shares, not minting |
Illustrative design targets. Exact parameters will be locked with legal and audit review before mainnet.
| Illustrative unit economics, 1 GPU-month | Assumption | Gross | Protocol take |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rented hours | ~$0.50/hr, 55% of 730h | ~$200 | 3% = ~$6.00 |
| Idle hours mined to ABA | ~$0.15/hr equiv, 45% of 730h | ~$49 | 12% = ~$5.88 |
| Host keeps | after fees, both paths | ~$237 |
Illustrative only, stated assumptions, not a forecast. The point: idle hours are not zero income because the Agent mines and converts them to ABA. Protocol revenue scales with active GPUs and utilization, plus the Chat markup on top.
Token & genesis
10B ABA. Fixed supply. Honest buckets.
There is no mining emission allocation for providers. Liquidity is market infrastructure, not team take. Team tokens vest. DEX start target is about $0.002 (~$20M FDV), with enough USDC depth to trade without dumping the entire liquidity bucket at once.
| Allocation bucket | Share | Tokens (of 10B) | Vesting / note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liquidity | 32% | 3.2B | DEX/CEX market infrastructure; staged seeding |
| Treasury | 18% | 1.8B | Operations, audits, runway |
| Ecosystem | 15% | 1.5B | Grants, integrations, compute vouchers |
| Reserve | 15% | 1.5B | Contingency / strategic |
| Team | 12% | 1.2B | 1-year cliff, 3-year linear |
| Community | 8% | 800M | Incentives, education, early users |
Draft allocation, not final. Legal review before any signed instrument. Older 2.1B / mining-emission tables on archived docs are obsolete.
The ask
$1.5M shaped pre-seed. Runway to mainnet: audit + external validators.
Target raise$1.5MPre-seed. Staged option: smaller first close
Preferred pathVouchersCompute credits / grants over a public SAFT sale narrative
Exact legal instrument is finalized with counsel. The product preference is clear: fund delivery against compute value and a fixed-supply token, not a public speculative sale.
| Use of funds (12 months, illustrative) | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Team (3 to 4 people, incl. technical co-founder hire) | $420k to 660k |
| Infrastructure (validators, indexer, chat gateway, partner GPUs) | $40k to 100k |
| Protocol audit (before mainnet) | $40k to 80k |
| Legal (token structure, trademark, ToS/privacy) | $30k to 60k |
| Liquidity seeding + market-making setup | $10k to 80k |
| Marketing / grants / vouchers | $20k to 50k |
| Total | ~$0.8M to 1.5M |

Next proof points
Milestones investors can inspect themselves.
Full phase-by-phase roadmap: status.abakos.ai.
01
Public sandbox (live): chain + EVM, wallet, explorer, ABA/USDC DEX, Provider Agent + Dashboard.
02
Console: first funded ABA job via template or bundle, visible settlement.
03
Idle buyback live: mine best coin then auto-convert to ABA, working end to end.
04
API demand: a developer request creates an explorer-visible job.
05
Audit gate: no mainnet before independent review. Fiat to ABA onramp stays post-launch.
Straight answers
What investors ask first.
Do I need to request a deck?
No. Everything substantive from a deck is already on this page. Get in touch if you want a downloadable copy to forward, or if you're ready to talk terms.
Am I buying equity or tokens?
Default preference is compute vouchers / strategic capital against a fixed-supply ABA design, not a public SAFT marketing page. Exact instrument depends on counsel and check size. Say what you need when you get in touch.
Do I need a crypto wallet to invest?
Not to sign or fund. Funding is a normal fiat or stablecoin wire. A wallet address only matters later if token delivery is part of the signed instrument.
Why not just run an ICO?
Wrong instrument for this stage. Public token sales draw securities scrutiny in most jurisdictions, and Abakos has no live product or audited token economics yet.
Why own-chain instead of deploying on Akash?
So ABA can be the settlement and staking asset with native fee capture, genesis allocation and validator economics. Forking open Akash modules is the technical path; remaining a tenant app would not capture that value.
Is there provider token inflation?
No. Providers earn from buyer ABA or from mining proceeds auto-converted into ABA. Validator inflation is separate and small, for chain security only.
What happened to Proof-of-Useful-Work?
Earlier PoUW / btcd research is archived. The product thesis is now maximum hardware utilization on a PoS compute chain: Console rentals plus idle GPU/CPU mining into ABA.
What happens if the mainnet timeline slips?
Any staged second tranche should be gated on publicly verifiable milestones (the sandbox is already live and inspectable), so a slip delays the next tranche instead of rewriting history.
Is ABA a security?
Undetermined and not overclaimed either way. A legal opinion is required before any public sale. Private instruments are structured with counsel so protection does not hinge on a slogan.
Why is this solo-founder-led right now?
Because the project is built to reach this stage capital-efficiently before hiring. Team is the largest line item in the use-of-funds table precisely because this round funds a technical co-founder and early engineering hires.
What this is not
No token-price forecast, guaranteed GPU return, guaranteed timeline or claim that planned products are already live. Every status badge on this site says exactly what is proven versus planned; this page uses the same rule.
