I recently discovered an interesting AI infrastructure project—DeepNode. Its core concept is to aggregate idle GPU resources worldwide and build a decentralized on-demand computing layer. In simple terms, it allows ordinary people to contribute computing power or AI models and earn rewards with $DEEP tokens.

The project's main features include: first, breaking the black box nature of AI. Traditional AI model valuation is vague, but DeepNode uses a PoWR mechanism to let models compete and earn rewards based on actual usage, which means creators can truly retain ownership of their model's IP. Second, it has a wide range of applications, including medical diagnosis, financial risk control, and trading strategy prediction, not limited to a single field.

Privacy protection is also well-handled, with built-in ZK proofs and fully homomorphic encryption technology, supporting private domain collaboration, making it friendly for scenarios with high data privacy requirements like finance and healthcare.

In terms of funding progress, they achieved a $5 million raise in 2025 (seed round + strategic round), with a valuation of $75 million. The mainnet is planned to launch in 2026 on the Base chain. Their DIVE platform has already attracted over 100,000 users, with community participation through badges and task systems to earn points, indicating a community-driven growth approach.

If you're interested, you can try their early activities by completing tasks like linking wallets, binding social accounts, and unlocking badges to accumulate points.

PoWR mechanism sounds good, but can this "model competition" really solve the AI black box problem? It still depends on how the actual data runs. 10,000 users sound like a lot, but whether the points on the DIVE platform are valuable is the key. It's not the first project to do badge tasks. Another computing power project on the Base chain. We've been talking about GPU resource integration for years, but few have actually been usable. ZK proof combined with fully homomorphic encryption sounds luxurious, but can the cost and performance trade-offs really be acceptable? Can it be used in medical finance? Is a valuation of 7.5 billion really not excessive? Multiple funding rounds but only five million raised. I think this funding progress might not be that smooth. Ownership of IP is indeed interesting, but can creators really make money with $DEEP? It still depends on token liquidity. Regarding idle GPU integration, I just want to know how network latency and computational reliability are guaranteed. Isn't that a fatal flaw?

PoWR mechanism sounds good, but can it really compare to those big tech models? I'm a bit skeptical. --- I've seen too many tricks of resource integration with GPUs; the key still depends on who actually uses it... --- ZK proof combined with fully homomorphic encryption sounds pretty fancy, but I wonder how efficient it will actually run. --- 100,000 users sounds like a lot, but early tasks on platforms like DIVE are quite active, whether they stick around to use it remains to be seen. --- Speaking of, there's another new project on the Base chain. Could the valuation be a bit inflated? --- The selling point of model IP ownership is okay, but does the market really need so much decentralized computing, or does it need it at all?

Oh, isn't this just the story of turning GPU miners into full members? This time, it's AI computing power. The PoWR mechanism sounds good. Finally, someone wants to give model creators a proper name, much more transparent than those big companies' black-box operations. Base chain is launching? Okay, I'll wait and see if the mainnet can really come up with some tricks. Right now, it's all promises.

GPU idle resource integration sounds good... but how many can actually get it running? There's one on the Base chain, but the mainnet won't be live until 2026, this pace is a bit slow. ZK proofs combined with fully homomorphic encryption, privacy is indeed a highlight, but how the token economics are designed feels like the real key.

Bro, this PoWR mechanism is quite interesting. Can the ownership of the model really be in the hands of the creator? Or is it just another routine of cutting leeks? --- Mainnet launching in 2026. I understand the idea of accumulating points before then, but early-stage projects like this do carry significant risks. --- Zero-Knowledge proofs combined with fully homomorphic encryption sound quite fancy. I just want to ask if this has really been implemented yet. --- 10,000 users sounds like a lot, but these days, do community numbers also need to be taken with a grain of salt? --- GPU resource aggregation is definitely a bottleneck. If they can truly solve the cost issue, it’s worth paying attention to. --- The Base chain has launched quite a few projects. Will it just become a chaotic mix? --- What I really want to know is the distribution mechanism of the $DEEP token. Will it just be dumped right after launch? --- I have real doubts about using it for medical diagnosis scenarios. Is data privacy just a paper promise? --- Raising 75 million with a valuation, but only getting the funds in 2025. The timeline looks pretty tight. --- The badge task gameplay feels quite familiar—like the airdrop hunting routine, right?

Bro, the GPU resource pool scheme looks like a rebranding of the computing power market. The PoWR mechanism sounds fancy, but how many models can actually make money? It's the same old trick: crazy point distribution early on to attract users, and after the mainnet launches, the real focus is on how tokens circulate and how to do market support. There's another one on the Base chain. It seems like these infrastructure projects are all piling up.
