Genius Ventures, Inc.
Genius Ventures, Inc. operates GNUS.AI, a decentralized AI/ML compute network that turns idle device GPU power worldwide into a distributed processing engine for AI workloads. The GNUS SDK works across desktop, mobile, console, and IoT platforms, and participants are rewarded with GNUS tokens, a multichain utility token (Ethereum, Polygon, Bitcoin, with Solana and Cardano planned). Clients are developers and businesses needing affordable, distributed AI/ML compute, as well as end users and gaming/app partners who share device power in exchange for token rewards.

Description
GNUS.AI, operated by Genius Ventures, Inc., is a decentralized computing platform that harnesses idle GPU and device power from desktops, mobile devices, consoles (Xbox, PlayStation), and IoT systems to process AI and machine learning workloads. The platform uses a hybrid blockchain to manage transactions, data transfer, distributed processing, validation, and payment settlement: customers pay for AI/ML processing in GNUS tokens, data is encrypted and distributed to nodes for processing via affiliated games and apps, results are validated on-chain, and payment is released from escrow to participating nodes (with GNUS retaining a portion and burning some tokens for scarcity). The GNUS SDK is designed to be mobile-first and cross-platform, integrating into games and applications to let end users earn tokens by contributing device compute power. The company works with technology and gaming partners (e.g., Graffiti Entertainment, AlphaGrowth, CSGOHUB, NexLogic, Orbis86, Paloma Chain, RiteStream, Shieldify, SolidProof, Vortex Foundation, Webfoot Games) to integrate decentralized AI compute and token utility into their products, targeting developers, gaming companies, and end users seeking lower-cost, censorship-resistant AI/ML processing.Grant Funding
