Roadmap
TL;DR: Building the Decentralized GPU Supercloud
OpenGPU’s mission is to democratize high-performance compute access using decentralized GPU infrastructure. Our roadmap reflects a strategic evolution — from core infrastructure to global-scale network effects.
✅ Phase I – Core Infrastructure & Testnet Launch
(Q1–Q2 2025)
Goal: Build the foundation of OpenGPU’s decentralized compute marketplace and onboard the first batch of contributors.
🧠 MVP GPU Orchestrator built and containerized
⚙️ Node registration + provider identity management module (off-chain + on-chain handshake)
🧪 Internal testnet deployed for job lifecycle validation
🧾 Early version of smart contracts for:
Task management
Escrow system
Token staking logic
💻 Partner onboarding (data centers, bare-metal hosts, miners)
🔒 3rd-party audit initiated (Trail of Bits, Spearbit – TBD)
🌱 Launch of community Dev Ambassador program
📘 GitBook docs v0.1 (internal dev + provider onboarding)
🚧 Phase II – Mainnet Alpha + Token Launch
(Q3–Q4 2025)
Goal: Launch $OPEN, decentralize resource access, and kick off ecosystem-wide incentives.
🚀 $OPEN token launch (ERC-20 on L2, e.g., Arbitrum or Base)
🥩 Public staking live (Providers + Delegators)
⚖️ Smart contract v1 audit passed & deployed
🧾 Governance DAO setup (Snapshot + multisig)
🛠 Job Marketplace UI/UX released
🌉 Cross-chain bridge integration for token (Axelar, Wormhole, LayerZero options)
🧰 Partner SDK/API kit v1 for provider integration
🧪 Mainnet alpha goes live with curated providers
🔁 Task validation oracle network v0.1
🎁 Genesis incentives:
Task miner rewards
LP yield farming
Contributor airdrops
🔁 Phase III – Decentralization + Ecosystem Growth
(Q1–Q2 2026)
Goal: OpenGPU becomes permissionless, open, and self-sustaining.
🌐 Permissionless provider onboarding
🧩 Modular compute verification using zkML or MPC tooling
💼 B2B dashboard for AI/ML workloads
🧬 DAO voting on fee policy, treasury emissions, and slashing rules
📉 Liquid staking + LSD token (stOPEN) integrations
💻 GPU task marketplace V2 with job auto-splitting + multitenancy
📦 Multi-framework workload templates (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Blender, etc.)
🪂 Community grant program + Hackathon rounds
🧠 Reputation engine upgraded with on-chain + off-chain analytics
🔁 Community-curated provider score registry (DAO-run)
🌍 Phase IV – Global Expansion & AI/DePIN Integrations
(Q3 2026–2027)
Goal: Scale OpenGPU into the go-to decentralized compute backend for AI, DePIN, and Web3 infra.
🧠 Integrate with leading DePIN networks (e.g., Akash, Render)
🧠 Partner with AI-focused chains (e.g., Bittensor, Gensyn, Ritual)
⚙️ Compute-as-a-primitive tooling for LLMs, game engines, render farms
🌐 Regional compute alliances (Africa, LatAm, SEA) for idle GPU onboarding
🔐 zk-compute verification for confidential AI tasks
🧾 Usage-based stablecoin billing layer (USDC/DAI via LayerZero)
📱 Mobile app for client workload monitoring + stake mgmt
💥 DAO v2: Treasury proposal system, quadratic voting, advanced governance
🧩 Continuous Goals (Across All Phases)
🔍 Security audits and bounty programs
🎨 UX and branding upgrades with Web3-native design language
📚 Developer education and docs scaling
🧑🎤 Influencer + technical content ecosystem
📈 Token analytics dashboards (Dune, Flipside, custom explorers)
