Proof-of-Useful-Work · AI Compute L1

Compute that pays for itself.

Abakos is the AI-compute blockchain where every paid GPU job also secures the chain — so compute costs less than anywhere else.

Battle-tested Bitcoin/btcd base NVIDIA + AMD Audit before mainnet
112 MW → 0 useful AI

Today's "useful" mining isn't useful. A leading PoUW chain runs ~320,000 GPUs burning ~112 MW — producing zero real AI, almost all random matrices. Abakos fixes that.

How it works

Real work in, real value out.

Full block rewards require compute that is actually paid for and used — enforced on-chain by a stablecoin-escrow marketplace.

For buyers

1Order compute — chat, inference, embeddings or fine-tuning.

2Funds lock in escrow; a miner runs your job and proves it with a ZK proof.

3You pay below market — because miners also earn block rewards.

For GPU providers

1Plug in your GPUs — or idle neocloud capacity.

2Serve paid jobs → earn stablecoin + ABK rewards on the same watt-hour.

3Empty mining earns only 25%. Real work pays full.

Three pillars

Why Abakos is different.

Enforced usefulness

Full rewards only for paid, verified work. No more random-matrix theater.

Marketplace + escrow

Trustless matching and atomic settlement in stablecoin, on-chain.

Abakos Chat

A simple AI app anyone can use. Crypto stays invisible.

FAQ

Good questions.

Is this just another Pearl or Gonka?

No — we enforce usefulness via paid escrow + a reward-split, ship a real compute marketplace, and add a consumer app (Abakos Chat) that drives genuine demand.

Which GPUs are supported?

NVIDIA and AMD, from consumer cards to datacenter GPUs. CPU/Apple Silicon for light tasks. Standard BF16/FP8, drop-in for vLLM/SGLang.

Is there a token?

Yes — ABK, used for payments, mining rewards, and staking. It launches around mainnet, after a security audit.

When mainnet?

After a short incentivized testnet and a security audit. We move fast but won't risk a live chain with unaudited consensus. Follow along — we build in public.
