HOW THE CITY WORKS

One loop. Real compute. Real yield.

Schematic 01

The Value Loop

Money enters when agents and apps pay for inference. It leaves as yield to the people who own the grid and rewards to the people who power it. Everything in between is deterministic. Drag to rotate — hover any node for detail.

AGENTS & APPS AI demand Autonomous agents and applications need inference. They are the customers of the grid.
NEXUS COMPUTE jobs run on grid GPUs Every job is scheduled to a verified node and executed on real hardware.
REVENUE real usage income Usage generates revenue — not emissions, not promises.
EPOCH POT rewards each epoch Each epoch, revenue funds one reward pot with a fixed, published split.
GRID YIELD · 30% to parcel owners 30% of the pot flows to grid owners, proportional to effective output (size × tier).
CCU REWARDS · 70% to node operators 70% flows to node operators by Compute Contribution Units actually delivered — operators carry the hardware costs, so they carry the bigger share.
ENTER THE CITY nexus.ghostnn.ai The city runs in your browser. No install.
CONNECT WALLET Solana Your Solana wallet is your identity and your vault.
CLAIM A PARCEL on the 50,000-plot grid Parcels are rectangles of real grid coordinates. Finite by construction.
GOOD STANDING monthly maintenance A monthly per-plot fee keeps your parcel in good standing and funds node operations.
PARCEL OWNERS earn grid yield Owners in good standing collect yield every epoch. That is the whole job.
NEXUS CLIENT download & install The Nexus Client turns your GPU into a grid node. ghostnn.ai/nexus-client.
STAKE GNN register your node A GNN stake registers the node and backs its honesty.
SERVE AI JOBS real inference The scheduler streams real inference jobs to your hardware.
PASS VERIFICATION LLM-judge spot checks Outputs are spot-checked by an independent judge. Honest nodes never notice.
NODE OPERATORS earn CCU + ops pay Operators earn performance rewards plus baseline ops pay from the maintenance pool.
MAINTENANCE FEES the city’s property tax Owner maintenance funds the ops pool — the grid pays to keep its own lights on.
OPS POOL baseline node pay The ops pool pays nodes a dependable baseline on top of performance rewards.

Getting Paid

Two ways in. Both pay.

OWN A PARCEL

  1. Enter the city — it runs in your browser at nexus.ghostnn.ai. No install.
  2. Connect your Solana wallet — your identity and your vault.
  3. Claim your parcel — a rectangle of the finite 50,000-plot grid. Upgrade its tier to raise effective output.
  4. Keep good standing — monthly maintenance keeps you in rotation and funds the grid's operations.
  5. Collect Grid Yield — 30% of every epoch pot, proportional to your effective output.

RUN A NODE

  1. Get the Nexus Client — turn your GPU into grid infrastructure.
  2. Stake GNN — registers your node and backs its honesty.
  3. Serve AI jobs — the scheduler streams real inference work to your hardware.
  4. Pass verification — outputs are spot-checked by an independent LLM judge. Honest nodes never notice.
  5. Collect rewards — 70% of every epoch pot by compute delivered, plus baseline ops pay.

The Machine Under the City

The neon is real infrastructure: a Rust core scheduling real GPUs at the edge, with money settling on Solana. Nothing in this diagram is aspirational — every component is live.

NEXUS CITY Bevy WASM client The 2.5D city renders in your browser via WebAssembly — the game IS the interface.
NEXUS BUILDER in-browser IDE A full development environment inside the city. Build and ship without leaving.
CLOUDFLARE EDGE workers + containers Global edge delivery; the city server runs in an edge container.
R2 STORAGE models & media Heavy assets — 3D models, video — stream from object storage, never from the app image.
ACTIX SERVER city core API Rust core: parcels, cities, economy, compute scheduling, the hackathon — one server.
POSTGRES grid state Every parcel, payment, job and payout is durable, auditable state.
NEXUS CLIENT NODES GPU compute Operator GPUs connect over WebSocket and execute scheduled inference jobs.
LLM JUDGE verification An independent model spot-checks node outputs; failures freeze and slash the node.
SOLANA $GNN payouts $GNN lives on Solana mainnet. Payouts settle on-chain.
AGENC PROGRAM on-chain job market AgenC (tetsuo-ai) is an on-chain marketplace where agents post jobs with escrow and attestations.
AI AGENTS external demand Autonomous agents buy compute from Nexus through AgenC — proven live on mainnet.

Interoperation

Plugged into the agent economy

AgenC is an on-chain job marketplace on Solana mainnet where autonomous agents post work with escrowed payment. Nexus is wired straight into it: agents post jobs, grid nodes execute them, and attestations settle back on-chain — the full loop is proven live on mainnet. Your parcel yield and node rewards are downstream of real, external demand.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What do I actually own?

A parcel: a rectangle of coordinates on the finite 50,000-plot grid, held by your Solana wallet. Your effective output (size × tier) is the canonical score the city pays yield against, every epoch.

How do payouts actually work?

Each epoch, revenue funds a reward pot with a fixed, published split: 70% to node operators (by compute actually delivered — they carry the hardware costs) and 30% to parcel owners in good standing (by effective output). Maintenance fees separately fund baseline ops pay. The rules are deterministic — same inputs, same payouts, reproducible by anyone.

What hardware does a node need?

A consumer GPU that can run eligible open models locally. The Nexus Client handles the rest — see the requirements page for current specifics.

Can my node stake be slashed?

Yes — that's what keeps the grid honest. Outputs are spot-checked by an independent LLM judge; a node caught returning wrong results is frozen and slashed 25% of its stake. Nodes doing the work they claim never notice verification exists.

Is the airdrop live?

Yes, for eligible wallets. Connect in the city and claim in-app — eligibility is checked against your wallet on-chain.

What is AgenC and why does it matter?

AgenC is an on-chain agent job marketplace on Solana mainnet. Nexus executes AgenC jobs on grid GPUs and posts attestations back on-chain, which means demand for the grid comes from the open agent economy — not just from us.

Do I need to code to build here?

No. The Nexus Builder is a full in-browser IDE with AI assistance (bring your own model key). Describe what you want, iterate, publish to the grid.
