# Introduction

Welcome to the official documentation for USDAI, the world’s first compute-backed stablecoin, launched by GPU.NET. USDAI is designed to revolutionize decentralized finance (DeFi) and artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystems by providing a stable, scalable, and AI-native currency backed by real-world GPU compute resources.

#### What is USDAI?

USDAI is the world’s first compute-backed stablecoin, designed to enable stable, AI-native financial transactions while being fully collateralized by real-world GPU compute power. USDAI is a stablecoin pegged to the value of computational power, specifically 1 USDAI = $1 USD worth of compute on the GPU.NET Dapp.

Unlike traditional stablecoins backed by fiat reserves (USDC, USDT) or volatile crypto assets (DAI, FRAX), USDAI is pegged to on-chain compute credits, ensuring its value remains stable relative to computational capacity rather than financial instruments.

USDAI is fully integrated into the GPU.NET ecosystem, a decentralized AI compute network that aggregates, tokenizes, and distributes GPU power for AI, machine learning (ML), and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. By leveraging blockchain technology, Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN), and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, USDAI provides a predictable and cost-efficient medium of exchange for AI-driven transactions.
