NetMind Token (NMT) is the native utility token of the NetMind Power ecosystem. This ecosystem is a decentralised computing platform specifically designed for the training, fine-tuning, and inference of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) models. NMT serves multiple purposes within this platform, such as facilitating payments for access to its services, incentivising participants to contribute their idle GPU resources, and supporting governance and staking processes.
NetMind Token operates on a public blockchain called the NetMind Chain, which utilises a Proof of Authority (POA) consensus mechanism. This blockchain is compatible with Solidity smart contracts and the Ethereum protocol, allowing for task scheduling, fee payments, and the distribution of rewards within the NetMind ecosystem. Validators in this system are required to undergo rigorous reviews to ensure their reliability, contributing to the network's security and trustworthiness.
Potential use cases for NetMind Token include:
NetMind Token was founded by Kai Zou, who has a strong background in mathematics and AI research. The development of the NetMind Power platform began as part of Zou's vision to leverage distributed computing resources for AI model training. NMT was launched on February 18, 2024, and has experienced significant growth since its initial coin offering (ICO). Notable milestones in its history include achieving an all-time high value and various updates to improve its economic model.
