"Gonkas tokenomics [---] Built for one purpose: making AI compute accessible efficient and censorship-resistant. $GNK is the protocols native currency. Developers use GNK to pay for AI training inference and simulation jobs. Hosts (node operators) earn GNK for executing those jobs with their GPUs. No central authority takes a cut no single provider decides what can or cannot be run.

"Most blockchains waste their energy. In PoW networks 90%+ of GPU power is spent on securing the chain = work with no value outside the network. Gonka flips this: nearly 100% of cycles go to real AI workloads = training models running simulations building tools. $GNK moves the value: devs pay in $GNK hosts earn $GNK and security comes as a byproduct of doing meaningful work. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1961391128705728897 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1961391128705728897"

"Bootstrapping a global compute network requires incentives for early participants. Gonka uses a dual-reward system: Base Rewards: Every completed compute task earns the host $GNK.

"Gonka isnt locked into an arbitrary fixed supply or uncontrolled inflation.

Over time issuance decreases preventing oversupply while maintaining enough liquidity for healthy operations.

"Gonkas tokenomics are structured so that every role in the network benefits. Hosts: Earn $GNK for every verified cycle of meaningful compute they contribute.
