CUDOS is a decentralized cloud computing network that provides a sustainable and scalable infrastructure for AI, Web3, and high-performance computing. The project aims to democratize computing by connecting blockchain developers and cloud service consumers with providers who can monetize idle computing resources. CUDOS Intercloud serves as a hub for delivering scalable, distributed, from-chain computing through smart contracts, enabling developers to build the next generation of the web.
The CUDOS platform offers GPU-as-a-Service for DePIN and AI tasks, providing high-performance GPUs per hour and LLM inference via a single API. It focuses on cost-efficiency and aims to fix the broken web by leveraging blockchain and Web3 technologies to remove centralization from global IT systems. The CUDOS token, which is undergoing a merger with the ASI token ($FET), plays a crucial role in powering this ecosystem, enabling a decentralized approach to cloud computing resources.
As part of the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, CUDOS provides the infrastructure layer, working alongside Fetch.AI for tooling, Singularity for services, and Ocean Protocol for liquidity and data. This strategic merger positions CUDOS to further enhance its capabilities in the AI and blockchain space, contributing to the journey towards artificial superintelligence by optimizing for SLMs with faster inference, lower cost, and permissionless deployment.
FAQ
Would CUDOS as a project merge with ASI?
No, CUDOS would remain an independent project, continuing to operate and maintain its own set of products, including Intercloud.
Would the Fetch.ai (ASI) chain and coin become the main blockchain for Intercloud?
Yes, Intercloud would migrate its home chain to Fetch.ai’s (ASI’s), and any future incentives planned for the CUDOS token would be associated with $FET.
Would my CUDOS staking discounts translate into $FET staking discounts?
Yes, they would. All current CUDOS utilities would be moved to ASI. Consequently, after the ASI Network upgrade, discounts would also be offered for staking FET.
Would the CUDOS Blockchain continue to run?
No, the CUDOS Blockchain would stop producing blocks and, consequently, cease to exist. All token balances and delegations would be merged into the Fetch.ai Network as part of a network upgrade, and the native CUDOS tokens would cease to exist.
What would happen to my current outstanding staking rewards in CUDOS?
They would be added to your new $FET balance, in addition to the current amount that corresponds to the current CUDOS tokens you’d be holding as a balance in your wallet.
What would happen if I already had $FET in my ASI account?
Your current $FET tokens would be unaffected, and you would receive the new $FET tokens in a vesting schedule in addition to what you already have.
What should I do if I have CUDOS tokens in a DEX liquidity pool?
You should remove your tokens from the liquidity pool so that they are liquid in your wallet, allowing you to convert them to $FET should the vote pass.
Why would there be a vesting period in my tokens?
This has been designed to ensure a smooth transition of holders and communities.
Would I miss out on my staking rewards during these three months?
No, you would not. The corresponding amount of CUDOS tokens that you’re currently delegating would also be delegated in ASI from the start, even if these tokens were still part of a vesting schedule and had not vested yet.
What wallets would I be able to use to see my $FET tokens?
ASI has its own wallet for $FET tokens, which can be found here and is the recommended one.
What block explorer would I use to see my $FET transactions?
A great explorer you could use is Mintscan. You could also use $FET’s explorer, for example, which can be found here.
What would be the relationship between CUDO Compute and ASI?
Cudo Compute would remain Cudo’s main product, independent of ASI. CUDOS Intercloud would make the Fetch.ai (ASI) network the main blockchain it connects to.
