The exchange for GPU compute
01/04
01 — The thesis
The same chip. Two prices.
A single H100 rents for about $1.94 on a neocloud and about $7.10 on a hyperscaler. For years there was no reference price — two buyers of identical capacity had no way to know who got the better deal. A benchmark makes the gap visible. Visible gaps are tradable.

OCT 5 · 2026
Compute becomes a commodity
CME Group lists Compute futures on the hourly rental price of the H100 and B200 — the same venue that trades crude oil. FluxGPU brings that market on-chain, 24/7, permissionless.

SUPPLY SIDE
Your GPU is an asset
Plug an idle card into the network and it starts earning the moment a job lands on it. Rent accrues per second. Fees accrue as tokenized NVDA.
-
DEMAND SIDE
Rent at index, not at retail
Pay in USDG or ETH, on Robinhood Chain or Ethereum. Pricing tracks the live FluxGPU index instead of a sales rep's quote — and $FLUX will take 15% off at launch.
02 — Trade
The compute terminal
Go long the AI buildout or hedge your own inference bill. Perpetuals settle against the FluxGPU hourly rental index, margined in USDG.

03 — The flywheel · vault opens with $FLUX
Traders pay the miners. In NVDA.
Two percent of every trade is swept into tokenized NVDA on Robinhood Chain and streamed to the people supplying the silicon. The louder the market gets, the more equity the network's operators own.

Contribute your GPU
One command. Your card joins the pool, takes paid jobs when it is idle, and earns the live index rate for every billed minute — paid to your wallet in USDG.
-
STEP 01
Install the node
Linux with the NVIDIA driver, Docker and the NVIDIA Container Toolkit. One Python script, no dependencies: it registers your cards, heartbeats utilisation every 30 s and runs paid jobs as containers pinned to your GPU.
curl -fsSL https://flux-gpu.vercel.app/node/install.sh | sh -s -- --wallet 0xYourWallet -
STEP 02
Go live
Your node is live the moment it heartbeats. Jobs are assigned oldest-paid-first to an idle node with the right GPU class. $FLUX bonding for priority arrives with the token.
-
STEP 03
Get paid twice
Every completed job credits your wallet with 100% of the rent by billed minutes. Payouts settle in USDG on-chain from the FluxGPU treasury. The NVDA share starts with the $FLUX fee vault.

05 — Demand
Rent compute at index
Per-minute billing at the live index. Pay in USDG or ETH on Robinhood Chain or Ethereum, run any Docker image on a real GPU, watch the logs here. $FLUX payments (−15%) open at launch.

06 — The asset · coming soon
$FLUX
The settlement and collateral asset of the exchange, issued on Robinhood Chain so the fee vault can hold tokenized equities natively. It pays margin, bonds nodes, discounts rent and governs the index methodology.

07 — Questions
FAQ
What exactly am I trading?
Today: the FluxGPU index — the live median ask for each accelerator class, aggregated from real on-demand listings and sampled every 15 minutes. Perpetual contracts that settle against it (for example FLUX-H100-PERP) launch with $FLUX. You will be trading the price of renting a card, not the card itself.
How does the 2% fee become NVDA?
Fees are collected in USDG at fill. Each epoch the vault contract routes the balance into tokenized NVDA on Robinhood Chain and mints claim units against it. Claims are allocated pro-rata by GPU·hours served in that epoch, so the distribution follows real work, not stake size alone.
Do I need a data center to contribute?
No. A single card with a stable connection can take jobs. Larger, better-connected fleets clear more hours and therefore earn a larger slice of both rent and the vault, but there is no minimum fleet size.
Why USDG, ETH and $FLUX?
USDG is the accounting unit — quotes, rent and supplier payouts are denominated in it. ETH is accepted at the live spot rate for renters who would rather not hold a stablecoin. $FLUX will get a 15% discount subsidised from the fee vault once the token launches.
What happens on October 5?
CME Group lists Silicon Data H100 and B200 Rental Index futures on NYMEX, pending regulatory review — the first regulated benchmark for compute. FluxGPU is not affiliated with CME or Silicon Data; we treat that listing as the moment compute becomes a recognised commodity and build the permissionless, 24/7 venue beside it.
