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)
