Recently, I came across a Web3 chatbot project called Gonka, which just secured $50 million in funding.

If you register now, you can ask questions for free indefinitely. The experience is pretty similar to using ChatGPT, so you can give it a try.

Essentially, Gonka is a decentralized computing network specifically designed for AI inference and training. Participants in the network can earn GNK tokens by contributing GPU computing power, and developers can directly run AI applications—without being restricted by cloud service providers or relying on closed models. Every time a user utilizes the inference feature, it actually drives the entire network's demand cycle.

This model is quite interesting, as it combines the computing power market with token economics.

actually, hold up—the trust assumptions here are doing a lot of heavy lifting that nobody's talking about. like, who's verifying the GPU compute actually happened? there's some serious cryptographic gap between "decentralized" and "actually trustless" that they're kinda glossing over.

It's fine if it's free, just worried it’ll turn into another bait-and-switch with fees later. --- A $50 million funding round sounds impressive, but how many decentralized computing power networks can actually take off? --- I'm interested in GPU mining, but the question is whether this coin can actually be sold. --- Yet another project promising not to get choked out by dependencies—let’s wait and see. --- The model looks good in theory, but let's see if it can withstand price volatility. --- I just want to know if joining now means I'll end up being the last one holding the bag. --- Might as well try it since it's free—just treating it as a game. --- Decentralized sounds great, but in the end, it’s always the whales who cash out.

50 million in funding? Sounds impressive, but the key is whether it can actually be put to use. Just like ChatGPT? That depends on whether the speed is actually up to par. I've seen this GPU mining for coins trick a few times already—just worried it might be another worthless token. Free trial is fine, but the tokenomics will depend on how they play it out in the long run. There’s definitely imagination in the computing power market, but very few projects actually get off the ground. I just want to know when it’ll start trading—I'll register first and see. Can this thing really take down AWS? That sounds a bit far-fetched. Tokenomics plus cloud computing is definitely an idea, just not sure how far it’ll go. Is anyone already mining? How are the returns? Let’s wait and see what the user experience is like for this project—otherwise, it’s all just talk on paper.

A $50 million fundraising sounds impressive, but I'm more concerned about how many GPU nodes this network currently has... If there are only tokenomics but nobody is contributing computing power, it's pointless. The free-to-use claim sounds like a gimmick. Once the experience is good, you'll still have to pay or stake tokens. Decentralized computing is indeed a direction, but I'm just worried it'll turn into another PoW mining disaster. This model is something ChatGPT has already tried; what's the real moat here? I've registered to try it out anyway, nothing to lose. Just feels like I'm getting tired of this kind of crypto fundraising narrative.

Wait a minute, the decentralized computing power network thing has already been done before. What makes Gonka able to survive? Hold on, they call themselves a ChatGPT competitor just because they raised $50 million? That's some serious hype. Free to use is probably just a trick. Once it launches, they'll definitely cash out. I don't quite get the logic behind earning tokens by contributing GPU power. Have they even calculated the costs? By the way, most of these projects go silent after fundraising. Why haven't there been any media reports? Computing power marketplace + tokenomics, it just sounds like something from a fundraising pitch deck.

Haha, another 50 million? The fundraising numbers this round really seem to be coordinated. How long can we keep using it for free? I'll bet five bucks there will be a wave of cashing out later. The model of swapping computing power for tokens is actually pretty novel; now it just depends on whether the miners are really willing to get things running.

Fifty million in funding sounds impressive, but can GPU computing power really be implemented? Just use it for free, there’s nothing to lose anyway. I’m just worried about the potential rug pull later. I’ve heard about decentralized computing power so many times; the core issue is still whether the token price can hold up. User demand cycles... To put it bluntly, someone actually has to be using it. If this thing takes off, GPU miners are going to skyrocket.

I think there's still something wrong with this logic. Can GPU miners really make stable profits? I've seen plenty of free ChatGPT alternatives, but in the end, they all fizzled out. $50 million in funding is indeed a lot, but how long can it last? It really depends on whether user growth can keep up. I've been following these decentralized AI networks for a long time. The key is still real usage, not just hype. However, tokenizing computing power is definitely a promising direction—it's more imaginative than just pure model services.

50 million in funding sounds like a lot, but the number of projects that actually survive is very few. Try it out for free, there's nothing to lose anyway. I've heard the concept of decentralized computing networks many times, but the key is whether they can truly break the monopoly of cloud service providers. Be cautious about the tokenomics part; it can easily become a tool for exploiting retail investors. Can computing power contributors really earn tokens steadily, or is this just another hype project fooling people? Wait, can this thing run open-source models? The architecture seems decent, but I'm worried the ecosystem might be too inactive. How do I register? Give me a link. It's an early-stage project—not suitable for going all in, but you can test the waters. GPU computing power is indeed in high demand, but the competition is extremely fierce.
