Begin with OGPU Cloudverse

Cloudverse is OpGPUโ€™s decentralized, cloud-native compute environment that allows users to seamlessly deploy workloads on distributed GPU infrastructure. It offers the flexibility of traditional cloud providers (like AWS or GCP), but with the cost-efficiency, transparency, and decentralization of a Web3-native system.

It is particularly optimized for compute-intensive workloads in fields like AI/ML, high-performance computing, scientific research, data science, and generative media.

Core Attributes:

  • ๐Ÿ”— Runs on a global network of GPU providers (individuals, data centers, edge nodes)

  • ๐Ÿš€ Designed to deliver sub-60s job deployment

  • ๐Ÿ’ฐ Metered billing via smart contracts (Cloud Payments)

  • ๐ŸŒ Integrates wallet-native authentication (no user accounts needed)

  • ๐Ÿ“ก Supports real-time job streaming, logs, and output retrieval

Cloudverse turns the GPU economy into an open marketplace โ€” programmable, scalable, and community-owned.


๐Ÿ’ณ Cloud Payments: Pay-as-You-Compute

Cloud Payments is the payment and metering layer within Cloudverse that powers trustless, on-chain billing. It ensures that users only pay for the exact amount of compute they consume, with smart contracts managing pricing, deposits, refunds, and payment settlement.

๐ŸŒ Supported Payment Options:

  • $OGPN โ€“ Native token (default and incentivized)

  • Stablecoins โ€“ $USDC and $DAI via cross-chain bridges (Polygon, Base)

  • Fiat โ€“ via integrated payment gateways (Stripe, Transak) โ€” Coming Soon

๐Ÿ” Workflow:

  1. User estimates job cost via the OpGPU dashboard or CLI

  2. Funds are temporarily locked in a smart contract (escrow)

  3. Upon job success:

    • The GPU node is paid

    • Unused gas/credits are returned to user

    • Receipt + audit log is generated

Cloud Payments removes the need for centralized invoicing, prepaid credit systems, or trust in intermediaries.


๐Ÿ›  Use Cases: What You Can Build with Cloudverse

Whether you're a solo ML researcher or a startup deploying production AI, Cloudverse has you covered:

๐Ÿง  Machine Learning / AI

  • Train LLMs or fine-tune small/medium-sized models

  • Deploy inference endpoints for generative AI (Chatbots, Stable Diffusion)

  • Experiment with custom model architectures in PyTorch or TensorFlow

๐Ÿงช Scientific Computing

  • GPU-accelerated simulations in physics, chemistry, genomics

  • Monte Carlo methods or fluid dynamics

  • GPU offloading for compute-heavy research

๐ŸŽฎ Real-Time Rendering & Media

  • Render high-fidelity scenes in Blender or Unity

  • Offload GPU rendering for 3D NFTs or game environments

  • Generate synthetic datasets for AR/VR

๐Ÿ” Data Science & Quant

  • Large-scale data analysis (Pandas, Dask, RAPIDS)

  • Backtest trading algorithms or run ZK-proof circuits

  • Natural language processing (e.g., vector embeddings, RAGs)

Cloudverse brings the infrastructure muscle to the open compute frontier.


๐Ÿงญ How It Works (Expanded)

๐Ÿ” Step 1: Connect Wallet & Fund Cloud Wallet

  • Connect your crypto wallet (e.g., MetaMask, Phantom, Coinbase Wallet)

  • Deposit $OGPN (or stablecoins) into your Cloud Wallet, a non-custodial smart contract holding your compute credits

  • View your balance, active jobs, and staked $OGPN from the OpGPU dashboard

๐Ÿ”„ Optional: stake $OGPN to receive priority access + discounts


๐Ÿš€ Step 2: Launch a Compute Job

  • Choose GPU class: NVIDIA A100, RTX 4090, or tiered performance categories

  • Select runtime environment:

    • Pre-configured: PyTorch, TensorFlow, CUDA, Jupyter

    • Custom Docker Image: Bring your own dependencies

  • Upload your code + data (via IPFS, GitHub, or direct upload)

  • Set job parameters (runtime, region preference, output location)

Cloudverse automatically matches your job to a node with compatible specs.


โš™๏ธ Step 3: Metering + Payment Flow

  • Pre-bill: A prediction of job cost is generated using historical usage data

  • Escrow: Amount is held in a smart contract (time-locked)

  • Execution: The GPU node processes your job in a containerized sandbox

  • Completion:

    • Smart contract checks for successful hash/output signature

    • Fees are disbursed instantly

    • Audit logs are made available via IPFS or Arweave

    • Any unused funds are refunded

This approach guarantees fair usage, verifiable work, and zero hidden fees.


๐Ÿ“Š Step 4: Monitor, Scale, Repeat

From the OpGPU dashboard or CLI:

  • Monitor GPU usage (memory, compute cycles, cost)

  • Pause, resume, or clone workloads

  • Schedule repeating jobs or pipeline runs

  • Export logs, outputs, or performance reports for compliance

All jobs are containerized, stateless, and can be re-run from identical seeds.
