Gonka is a blockchain-based network purpose-built to deliver high-efficiency AI compute by allowing anyone with hardware—from a single GPU to a full data center—to contribute capacity directly to AI workloads. Unlike typical proof-of-stake systems that waste most GPU cycles on consensus, Gonka’s proof-of-work design routes nearly 100% of contributed power toward productive tasks. Launched in August 2025, the network already aggregates performance equivalent to more than 6,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs after only three months of operation. Governance is fully on-chain; a 120 million GNK community pool (12% of lifetime supply) manages treasury decisions, ensuring no single entity can control the protocol’s evolution. The project was incubated by U.S. software company Product Science, whose founders include the Liberman siblings. Gonka generates native-token rewards (GNK) for compute providers and offers permissionless access to researchers, builders, and enterprises needing scalable AI infrastructure. The company’s balance sheet has been bolstered by a recent $50 million strategic investment from Bitfury, providing significant runway to expand the protocol and ecosystem.
