San Francisco, CA — GAIB, the economic layer transforming AI infrastructure investment, has announced on March 20 the upcoming launch of AID, the first AI synthetic dollar. AID is backed by a portfolio of GPU financing deals, GPU cash flow, a reserve of treasury bills, and other liquid assets, aiming to introduce AI-related yield to onchain markets. The token will bridge the gap between AI infrastructure and blockchain finance to provide direct exposure to the AI economy.
The AI revolution is driving an unprecedented demand for computing power, yet traditional financial systems have failed to keep pace. While AI infrastructure and GPU compute require significant capital investment, funding options remain limited, inefficient, or speculative. AID is a yield-generating synthetic dollar backed by AI compute assets, designed to reflect returns from AI-related financing.
AID is backed by AI compute assets rather than fiat reserves or speculative tokenomics. By tokenizing GPU-backed cash flows, it aims to introduce an asset class tied to AI-related financial activity while facilitating capital access for AI infrastructure providers.
"Compute will be the currency for the AI era,” said Kony, CEO and co-founder of GAIB. “AID uniquely offers investors direct exposure to AI compute revenue, enabling scalable and stable yield opportunities from the AI economy onchain."
When one U.S. dollar enters GAIB’s protocol or the portfolio generates a dollar in yield, one AID will be minted. Similarly, when a dollar of yield is paid out, one AID will be burned to ensure AID’s market capitalization mirrors its underlying assets' value. To accrue yield directly from AI-driven GPU-backed assets, investors can stake AID and receive sAID in return. This model allows investors to retain liquidity while benefiting from the growth of AI compute.
AID will leverage the growth of the AI industry and its infrastructure, offering a new way to gain exposure to this market. AID will initially launch on the Ethereum mainnet, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Story Protocol, and Base in Q2 2025, with plans for expansion across additional blockchain networks to make AID accessible to all users throughout the DeFi ecosystem.
