According to official news from Odaily Planet Daily, the Gonka Network currently boasts computing power equivalent to that of 500 H100 GPUs. Unlike traditional centralized private clouds, this computing power is distributed across a global network, forming an open and shared computing network. This avoids monopoly and control by a single institution, and opens up new possibilities for the popularization and innovation of high-performance computing.

As previously reported, the Gonka mainnet has officially launched, with AI inference services currently completely free. Contributors receive daily rewards in GNK tokens based on their computing power contribution. 323,000 GNK are minted each epoch, decreasing over time to create a scarcity curve and ensure predictable incentives.

Gonka was reportedly incubated by US AI developer Product Science Inc. Founded by the Libermans siblings, Web 2 industry veterans and former core product directors at Snap Inc., the company successfully raised $18 million in 2023 from investors including OpenAI investor Coatue Management, Solana investor Slow Ventures, K5, Insight, and Benchmark Partners. Early contributors to the project include well-known leaders in the Web 2-Web 3 space, such as 6 Blocks, Hard Yaka, Gcore, and Bitfury.
