Market Overview

grafilab_market_overview.png

The global artificial intelligence market generated a revenue of USD 196.63 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $1.81 trillion by 2030. A compound annual growth rate of 37.3% is expected of the worldwide artificial intelligence industry from 2024 to 2030. Key drivers of this growth include rapid advancements in machine learning, deep learning, and the adoption of AI-powered tools across diverse industries like healthcare, logistics, finance, and entertainment.

One of the most transformative trends in AI today is the rise of AI agents. These autonomous systems, capable of executing tasks and making decisions without constant human oversight, are being integrated into customer support, personal assistants, and enterprise-level automation. Companies are leveraging AI agents to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and provide hyper-personalized user experiences. This trend highlights the need for scalable computing resources and advanced model training platforms.

Simultaneously, the evolution of generative AI, exemplified by OpenAI’s ChatGPT and similar models, has revolutionized content creation, marketing, and customer engagement. The integration of AI agents with generative AI capabilities further amplifies their utility, enabling creative problem-solving and dynamic interactions. These advancements underline the critical importance of accessible infrastructure and real-time data systems.

Looking toward the future, Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) remains a transformative milestone, with projections suggesting early achievements by 2030. AGI development is expected to drive unprecedented demand for computational power, secure data layers, and robust collaboration tools, creating a significant opportunity for innovative AI ecosystems.

Challenges

As the global AI industry is projected to grow to $1.81 trillion by 2030, the path to achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) faces significant challenges:

AI Commercialization: AI models need an App Store to reach users and generate revenue. Grafi AI App Store provides a seamless AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS) platform for developers to monetize their work.

Barriers for Developers: Small teams and startups face high costs and limited access to tools. Our AI Co-Builder lets anyone build, deploy, and scale AI models using fractional GPUs.

Insufficient Compute Power: The existing infrastructure can’t keep up with the demand for AI. Our CeDePIN Cloud solves this by offering scalable, cost-effective compute resources.

Data Integrity, Ownership & Security: Data ownership and model integrity are critical. Our AI Data Layer ensures tamper-proof, verifiable records of AI development on-chain, protecting data rights and usage.

Goal

To drive the evolution of AGI

Our goal is to make AI development, deployment, and monetization accessible to everyone—regardless of technical expertise. By providing secure data environments through our AI Data Layer, and easy-to-use platforms like the AI App Store, Co-Builder, and CeDePIN Cloud, we empower users and developers to participate in and benefit from the AI revolution.

Token Emission

Compute Mining Emission

  1. Allocation
    • Total Compute Mining Allocation: 15% of total $GRAFI supply
    • Total Compute Mining Emission: 315,000,000 $GRAFI (i.e., 15% of the entire supply is set aside for rewarding decentralized GPU providers.)

  2. Rewards Factors
    Four key factors determine how these monthly emissions are distributed among individual GPU providers:
    i. GPU Model
    • Higher-performance GPUs (i.e., newer architectures, larger memory, or faster processing) earn a larger portion of rewards. 
    ii. Uptime Ratio
    • GPUs that remain online and available for longer durations receive a higher share of rewards.
    iii. Bandwidth
    • Providers offering higher network throughput or more data-transfer capacity qualify for enhanced rewards. 

    iv. Staking Collateral
    • GPU providers who stakes more GRAFI tokens gain a multiplier on their compute mining rewards, incentivizing them to align with the network’s long-term success.

    3. Emission Schedule

    • Total Mining Supply: 315,000,000 $GRAFI
    • Monthly Emission Rate: 1% of the 315,000,000 $GRAFI (i.e., 3,150,000 $GRAFI) every month.
    First Month
    • Emission: 3,150,000 $GRAFI (1% of 315,000,000)
    Following Months
    • Emission Each Month: 3,150,000 $GRAFI (1% of 315,000,000)
    At a steady rate of 1% of the total mining allocation per month, the full 315,000,000 $GRAFI will be distributed over approximately 100 months (a bit over 8 years).
