What is NuNet?
NuNet is a peer-to-peer protocol that discovers, orchestrates, and settles compute across distributed infrastructure. It connects GPUs, servers, edge devices, and data centers into a coordinated compute fabric. The protocol launched live on March 2, 2026, with research incubated since 2018.
When did NuNet launch?
NuNet Network Live launched on March 2, 2026, delivering the protocol described in the original NuNet whitepaper and refined in Whitepaper 2.0 (2021). The network runs real workloads today in energy (HOMEPUTE369 smart buildings), robotics (Auki / Posemesh), and data-center infrastructure (Serverista). Live metrics are published at dashboard.orgs.nunet.network.
Which blockchains does NuNet settle on?
NuNet settles compute transactions peer-to-peer in NTX on both Ethereum and Cardano. The protocol is blockchain-agnostic by design and supports multi-token settlement for compute payments. Orchestration fees settle in NTX, aligning coordination with the protocol's utility layer across both chains.
How is NuNet different from other decentralized compute platforms?
Most decentralized compute networks work like marketplaces: you browse available hardware, pick a node, and deploy manually. They're also GPU-focused. NuNet is different in four ways. (1) Orchestration, not browsing — describe what the workload needs (latency, location, hardware type) and the protocol finds the right compute automatically, no node picking. (2) Any hardware, not just GPUs — NuNet runs across GPUs, CPUs, edge devices, Raspberry Pis, and data center racks. (3) Multi-owner by design — built for workloads spanning different owners, sites, and trust boundaries, not a pool of identical GPUs under one operator. (4) Orchestration and payment combined — most networks settle after a job finishes; NuNet handles matching, verification, and multi-chain settlement as one unified protocol layer.
Who founded NuNet?
NuNet was incubated in 2018 inside SingularityNET by Dr. Kabir Veitas (CEO/CTO), Dr. Weaver D.R. Weinbaum, and Dr. Ben Goertzel. The company was incorporated in August 2021. The protocol is stewarded by the NuNet Foundation and commercialized through NuNet Solutions. Team size: 15 globally distributed members, 8 in core development.
What is NTX used for?
NTX is the utility token that powers participation in the NuNet network. It has four utilities: staking to join the network, peer-to-peer payment between compute buyers and providers, orchestration fees paid to the protocol for workload matching, and multi-token settlement flexibility. Total supply: 1 billion NTX. Circulating: around 504 million.
How do I connect my hardware to NuNet?
Install the NuNet Appliance on your machine. It works on GPU servers, CPU-only servers, Raspberry Pi, and data-center racks. After installation, your hardware joins the network and becomes discoverable to workloads. You earn NTX for compute delivered. Full onboarding guide is in the documentation at docs.nunet.io/appliance/about.
Where can I read NuNet's technical documentation?
Technical documentation is available at docs.nunet.io. The NuNet Whitepaper at docs.nunet.io/reference/white-paper describes the protocol's design, and the Yellow Paper at docs.nunet.io/reference/yellow-paper/platform-yellow-paper/ covers tokenomics and settlement. The open-source codebase is published on GitLab under Apache 2.0 license.
