🛠 Technical Updates & Product Progress (Q1 2025)
-------------------------------------------------

As we wrapped up Q1, our engineering teams across protocol, frontend, AI, and infra delivered major strides toward building a more open, performant, and developer-friendly compute network.

### 🔗 GANchain Development

*   🚀 _Nova Upgrade Initiated_: Enhanced block rewards and improved tokenomics now live.
    
*   🛡 Stability > Speed: Maintained chain integrity during high-load 1s block tests.
    
*   💸 Dual Reward System (PoW + PoS):
    
    *   50% to **Kings & Providers** (based on GPU usage)
        
    *   50% to **Queens & Validators** (based on $GPU staked)
        
*   ✅ On-chain voting UX for Queens with daily refresh logic.
    
*   🔧 Stable release: **GANchain v1.2** deployed with validator upgrades.

### 🧠 AI & Inference

*   Split clusters using MIG for optimal resource usage.
    
*   KV cache offloading & quantization tests underway.
    
*   Achieved **10% faster LLM inference**.
    
*   Benchmarked providers via MLPerf.
    

### 🧱 dApp & Ecosystem

*   🧭 Enhanced dashboard now live at `dapp.gpu.net`.
    
*   🔄 Real-time GPU listings & compute credit systems integrated.
    
*   ✅ GraphQL → REST API migration completed for speed and simplicity.
    
*   👤 Auth system rebuilt from scratch—no Authorizer dependency.
    

### 🧠 AI Agent Stack

*   Subnet AI Agent assists with onboarding and template setup.
    
*   More agents rolling out across GANchain, dApp, and community tools.
    

### 📦 Barrel of Compute NFTs (on Solana)

*   Smart contracts + frontend live on [sol.gpu.net](http://sol.gpu.net).
    
*   Burnable NFTs redeemable for GPU credits and Queen NFTs.
    
*   Live on Magic Eden. Token rewards now live via [token.gpu.net](http://token.gpu.net) quests.
    

  

🌐 Network Upgrades & Global Infra Expansion
--------------------------------------------

We are rapidly scaling our global infrastructure footprint to bring high-performance compute closer to our builders, developers, and enterprises.

*   🇮🇳 **India (Bangalore)**  
    Newly acquired **5MW facility** to host NVIDIA H200s for AI + blockchain workloads.
    
*   🇭🇰 **Hong Kong**  
    $3M invested into 4090 GPU deployment for ultra-low-latency compute in Asia.
    
*   🇻🇳 **Vietnam**  
    Active talks with **Viettel** and **Techcom Bank** for regional colocation partnerships.
    
*   🇦🇪 **UAE**  
    Strategic partnership with **G42** to power data center ops and support GPU rollouts.
    
*   🇩🇪 **Germany**  
    Live partnership with **Northern Data** (Tether-backed) for access to **25,000+ GPUs** across Europe.
