Aura Compute (AURC) aims to transform idle GPU power into a global, censorship-resistant AI infrastructure through Proof of Useful AI Work — where mining power is directed toward real AI computations instead of arbitrary puzzles.
The AURC token is NOT live yet. If you see this project attached to any other coin or token — that is NOT us. When the project is ready, we will announce it officially on our X profile.
@AuraComputeThe global demand for AI computation is growing at an unprecedented pace, yet access remains locked behind a handful of hyperscale cloud providers. Startups and researchers pay premium prices, while billions of dollars worth of GPU capacity sits idle in homes and data centers worldwide.
By incentivizing GPU owners to contribute their idle compute through the AURC token, we create a permissionless, globally distributed AI supercomputer. AI companies pay in AURC for compute; miners earn AURC for providing it. The result is a self-sustaining, deflationary economic loop.
Unlike Bitcoin's energy-intensive puzzles, PoUW channels computational effort into real AI tasks. The work is useful, verifiable, and economically valuable.
An AI company or developer submits a training or inference job to the Aura Network, paying in AURC tokens.
The Aura Scheduler breaks the task into subtasks and distributes them to available GPU miners based on capacity and latency.
Miners run the AI computations on their GPUs — training models, running inference, or processing datasets.
The network cryptographically verifies the results using a challenge-response protocol, ensuring work quality.
Verified miners receive AURC tokens as rewards. 10% of every client fee is permanently burned (deflationary), while 90% is distributed to validators as ongoing rewards.
Total supply of 1,000,000,000 AURC. The majority flows to miners who power the network, while a burn mechanism ensures long-term deflationary pressure.
Mining rewards halve every 2 years or after 100M AI tasks processed — whichever comes first.
10% of all network fees are permanently burned, creating deflationary pressure. The remaining 90% is distributed to validators, ensuring long-term network sustainability.
AURC is designed to run forever — not just until the last token is mined. Here's how the network sustains itself long-term.
Phase 1 — Now to ~2046
Miners earn newly created AURC tokens for every AI task completed. The 720,000,000 AURC mining pool is distributed gradually over ~20 years, with rewards halving every 2 years.
Phase 2 — After all tokens mined
Once all 720M mining tokens are distributed, miners continue earning from transaction fees paid by AI companies. No new tokens are created — the supply is fixed forever.
Fee distribution per task
The 10% burn makes AURC deflationary over time — as more AI tasks are processed, the total supply slowly decreases, increasing scarcity.
Why this design matters
Every halving cuts new token creation in half, gradually reducing the rate of new supply entering circulation.
10% of every fee is burned forever. As network usage grows, the total AURC supply slowly decreases — a mechanism similar to ETH's EIP-1559.
Miners always have an incentive to keep the network running — as long as AI companies need compute, there is demand for the network's services.
AURC is not controlled by a central team. Token holders vote on key network parameters — from burn rates to new task types. The more AURC you hold, the more voting power you have.
Every governance proposal is recorded on the Solana blockchain. Votes are transparent, tamper-proof, and verifiable by anyone.
Approved changes take effect after a 14-day delay. This gives miners and users time to react before any parameter is modified.
Miners with higher reputation scores get a small voting bonus — rewarding those who actively contribute to the network.
What token holders can vote on
How much of each transaction fee is permanently burned
Votable range: 5% – 30%
Share of fees going to miners vs. other uses
Votable range: 70% – 95%
How often mining rewards are cut in half
Votable range: 1 – 4 years

Votable range: Proposal-based
🗳️ Governance launches with the mainnet
During the presale and beta phase, parameters are set by the founding team. Once the mainnet launches, full governance is transferred to token holders.
An accelerated two-phase launch strategy: establish the token and community first, then activate the full PoUW mining network.
