# OpenGPU Network > OpenGPU is a global decentralized GPU network for AI inference, training, rendering and high-performance workloads. Route workloads to any GPU, instantly and automatically, at up to 70% lower cost than traditional cloud. ## About OpenGPU Network is the global routing layer for AI and high-performance GPU workloads. It connects GPU providers worldwide into a unified compute network, enabling developers and enterprises to access distributed GPU resources on demand. The network operates its own blockchain for transparent transaction settlement and provider verification. ## Technical Architecture - **Workload Routing**: Intelligent global GPU routing with automatic load balancing and failover - **Relay Gateway**: Optimized workload distribution layer for enterprise-grade routing and SLA - **Blockchain Layer**: EVM-compatible OpenGPU Chain for settlement, governance, and provider verification - **Provider Suite**: Desktop application (Windows, macOS, Linux) for GPU providers to contribute resources - **Client Interface**: Web-based dashboard for submitting and monitoring GPU workloads - **Smart Contracts**: On-chain protocol for staking, rewards distribution, and governance ## Key Features - Global GPU routing for AI inference, training, and rendering - Up to 70% lower cost than traditional cloud providers (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure) - Decentralized provider network with transparent verification - Own blockchain (OGPU) for settlement and governance - Provider Suite application for Windows, macOS, and Linux - Enterprise routing for large-scale AI workloads - Relay Gateway for optimized workload distribution - CertIK security audited ## Performance Benchmarks - Up to 70% cost savings compared to traditional cloud GPU providers - Over 1 million tasks processed - 230+ active GPU providers globally - Live network since March 2025 - CrunchDAO validated performance: "OpenGPU delivered comparable AI training throughput at a fraction of the cost" ## OGPU Token - **Name**: OpenGPU (OGPU) - **Type**: Utility token for the OpenGPU Network -
