What is GNK: The Gonka Network Token
GNK is the Gonka network's token, its 'fuel'. Users pay GNK for AI requests, hosts receive GNK for providing GPUs. Without GNK, the network doesn't work – like a car without fuel.
What GNK is Used For
GNK is the internal currency of the Gonka network. Every AI request to the neural network is paid in GNK. Hosts (GPU owners) receive GNK as a reward for processing these requests. GNK is also used for collateral, voting, and paying transaction gas fees. One token – many functions.
How to Get GNK
Main ways: join a pool (the easiest – you invest funds, the pool mines for you), set up your own GPU server (requires an NVIDIA GPU with 40GB+ VRAM), or buy on an exchange. Pools are suitable for most – they don't require technical knowledge or hardware.
Key Figures
Total emission: 1 billion GNK. Distribution: 80% to hosts (800M), 20% to founders (200M). Current price: ~$0.54. The network has ~4,648 GPUs and ~582 ML-nodes. Model: Qwen3-235B. The price is tied to the real demand for AI computing – the more users, the higher the value.
