FAQs
What is Compute Labs?
Compute Labs transforms GPU infrastructure into structured investment products. We enable accredited investors and web3 participants to gain direct exposure to real-world AI infrastructure — and earn yield from actual deployed GPUs.
What is a GPU RWA Vault?
A GPU RWA (Real World Asset) Vault is a structured financial product that allows investors to directly participate in the AI infrastructure economy. Capital raised in the vault is used to buy, deploy, and operate high-performance GPUs in data centers—earning real-world revenue that’s distributed to investors as yield.
Investors in the vault receive GNFTs or miniGPU tokens representing their share of this deployed infrastructure.
What are GNFTs and miniGPU tokens?
GNFTs (GPU NFTs): Tokens representing full ownership of a deployed GPU (like an H200).
miniGPUs: Fractionalized GNFTs for retail investors, offering the same exposure to GPU yield.
How does yield generation work?
The deployed GPUs are operated by data center partners. They’re utilized for enterprise AI workloads or sold to cloud buyers, generating revenue. That revenue is distributed as USDC yield to GNFT and miniGPU holders.
Yield accrues daily and can be claimed gas-free on a net 30 basis.
5. Why is yield distributed in USDC, and not Compute Labs’ own utility token $AIFi?
We’re focused on building trust and proving that this innovative approach works—so we chose USDC as a stable, credible payout currency. Our priority is giving investors a smooth and reliable experience, with no added speculative risk. Once we’ve demonstrated real, sustained yield from our GPU deployments, we plan to introduce $AIFi to further increase the speculation and expand the ecosystem.
6. What do you mean by “structured” in this context?
Structured access means Compute Labs manages everything — hardware acquisition, deployment, operator relationships, risk mitigation, and revenue distribution. Investors hold tokens that are directly tied to these real-world, revenue-generating GPUs.
7. How does Compute Labs track GPU performance?
Each GPU has a proprietary agent that continuously monitors uptime, usage, and performance. This data feeds into our yield calculations and ensures transparency.
8. Who are the operators?
Operators (data center partners) provide physical infrastructure — from racks and cooling to power and connectivity. Compute Labs vets these operators through technical and financial due diligence as well as standardized agreements to ensure reliability and uptime.
9. Can investors track the GPUs they’re exposed to?
Yes, we offer a live dashboard showing several GPU performance metrics such as utilization, uptime, power usage, along with yield flow in USDC.
10. How is this different from other DePIN / RWA projects?
Unlike most DePIN or RWA protocols, Compute Labs directly manages the capital allocation, hardware sourcing, and operator relationships — ensuring real yield tied to actual deployed infrastructure, not speculative emissions. Our team’s experience bridges deep capital markets knowledge and web3-native expertise. This blend lets us run a complex, real-world infrastructure business while bringing it on-chain
11. What risks are associated with investing in Compute Labs vaults?
Like any investment, there are risks — including hardware performance issues, operator-related risks, and broader market dynamics in AI compute demand. Compute Labs mitigates these risks through rigorous due diligence, real-time performance tracking, and strong operator partnerships.
12. Who can invest in GPU RWA vaults?
Currently, vaults are for accredited investors only (as defined by U.S. securities law). Non-U.S. investors may also participate in certain vaults based on local regulations.
13. How can I get involved if I missed the first vault?
Join our waitlist on the Compute Labs site. Future vaults will be announced and offered to the community as they become available.
