GAIB Advances in Tokenizing AI Compute Resources with $150M Pre-Deposit Milestone

GAIB, a blockchain-based platform focused on tokenizing Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) for AI infrastructure financing, reached a $150 million cap in its pre-deposit campaign on October 2, 2025, within less than three hours. This development follows a series of funding rounds and product launches that have positioned the company at the intersection of AI compute and Decentralized Finance (DeFi). 

Since its inception, GAIB has secured investments totaling $45 million across pre-seed and strategic rounds, while expanding partnerships to build Asia's first sovereign AI cloud and introducing AiDollar, a synthetic stablecoin backed by AI compute assets.

What is the GAIB Pre-Deposit Campaign?

The GAIB pre-deposit campaign, known as AID Alpha, allows users to deposit stablecoins into vaults to earn rewards and gain early access to AiDollar (AID). Launched in May 2025, the campaign has progressed through multiple phases with increasing deposit caps. It supports deposits on chains such as Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Base, and Sei Network, and integrates with DeFi protocols for additional yield opportunities.

Overview of AID Alpha Structure

AID Alpha serves as the pre-launch phase for AiDollar, where participants deposit assets like USDT, USDC, or other supported stablecoins into smart contract vaults. In return, depositors receive AID Alpha tokens (AIDa), which accrue Spice points over time. These points serve as a reward mechanism, with multipliers applied according to the campaign phase. 

For example, early caps offered 7.5x multipliers, while later phases, such as the Final Spice, provide 10x multipliers for both new and existing deposits. The campaign's design ensures controlled total value locked (TVL) growth, with caps adjusted to manage inflows.

The campaign began with a waitlist in March 2025, inviting users to connect wallets for priority access. Initial deposits were opened on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain, and Story Protocol, with the expansion to Sei Network to follow later. AIDa tokens represent temporary receipts that will swap for mainnet AID tokens upon launch, expected in Q4 2025. This setup enables users to earn yields from AI infrastructure before the full product rollout.

Recent Achievement: $150M Cap in Record Time

The October 2 announcement highlighted the rapid fill of the $150 million cap, accompanied by plans for expanded initiatives. This follows a cap extension from $125 million earlier that day, demonstrating controlled TVL management amid demand. 

GAIB's platform now supports mechanics like minting AID against GPU exposure, staking sAID for yields, and providing liquidity in AID pools. Risks include hardware depreciation and utilization variance, mitigated by diversified operators and onchain disclosures.

Funding Rounds Supporting GAIB's Expansion

GAIB's financial backing began with a $5 million pre-seed round in December 2024, led by Hack VC and including participation from Faction VC and Hashed. The funds were allocated to develop protocols for tokenizing GPUs, enabling investors to access yields from AI compute without direct hardware ownership. This approach addresses the capital-intensive nature of AI infrastructure, where tokenized assets represent fractional shares in GPU revenue streams.

In July 2025, GAIB raised an additional $10 million in strategic investment from Amber Group. This round aimed to scale the platform's integration of robotics and computing into DeFi ecosystems. Amber Group's involvement brought expertise in digital asset management, supporting GAIB's efforts to create liquid markets for AI-related yields.

A $30 million partnership with Siam.AI was announced in September 2025, focused on tokenizing GPUs to establish Asia's first sovereign AI cloud. This collaboration emphasizes decentralized control over AI resources, allowing sovereign entities to manage compute infrastructure onchain. The partnership includes technical integrations for GPU tokenization, where assets are backed by real-world hardware and utilization metrics.

Overall, these funding milestones have provided GAIB with the resources to deploy tokenized GPU products. For instance, in January 2025, GAIB launched its first tokenized GPU pilot on BNB Chain in collaboration with Aethir Cloud, supported by the Amber Group. Investors could purchase tokens representing enterprise-grade GPU revenue, with mechanisms for periodic rewards and secondary market trading. The pilot demonstrated transparency through blockchain-tracked revenue sharing, reducing barriers to entry via fractional ownership.

By March 2025, GAIB introduced additional AI assets on BNB Chain, tokenizing high-performance GPUs to generate sustainable yields. This expanded the platform's offerings to include GPU-backed lending and structured products, aligning with broader trends in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.

Engagement Through Industry Events and Panels

GAIB has actively participated in industry events to promote its vision and objectives. In July 2025, CEO Kony Kwong discussed tokenized GPU financing in an interview with Korea IT Times, highlighting liquidity unlocks for global AI compute.

The company hosted RWAiFi Day in Seoul, attracting 400 participants to discuss AI, robotics, and onchain finance integrations. Co-hosted by Plume Network, OpenMind AGI, and GoKite AI, the event featured partners such as Arbitrum, Pendle, and Aethir Cloud.

On October 1, 2025, at TOKEN2049 in Singapore, GAIB led panels on embodied AI financing and autonomous DeFi infrastructure. Panel 1, "Financing the Rise of Embodied AI and Autonomous Economies," included speakers from SMBC Nikko Securities, OpenMind AGI, and PrismaXai. Panel 2 addressed RWAs and stablecoins, featuring World Liberty Financial and Plume Network. Panel 3 focused on AI in scalable infrastructure, with participants from Animoca Brands, GoKite AI, and Lagrange Dev.

GAIB also attended side events during TOKEN2049 week, including the House of ZK's ZK meets AI" panel on September 29 and the Open Robotics AI Forum on September 30. These engagements underscore GAIB's role in fostering discussions on AI tokenization.

Conclusion

GAIB has established a framework for tokenizing AI compute, securing funding, launching AiDollar with $150 million in pre-deposits, and participating in key events such as RWAiFi Day and TOKEN2049. 

These efforts enable direct investment in GPU yields, privacy-enhanced transactions, and DeFi integrations. For users interested in AI infrastructure, GAIB offers tools to participate in the growth of this sector, emphasizing the importance of scalable, onchain solutions for compute financing.
