v0.2.5 Upgrade Executed on Mainnet The governance vote is complete and Gonka v0.2.5 is now live. This upgrade activates Ethereum-bridge primitives, Random Confirmation Proof-of-Compute, Blackwell GPU support, and several critical fixes across validator selection, state updates

Remember when crypto had winters? Bear markets where nothing mattered and everything went to zero? AI doesn't get winters. Demand only goes up. Every quarter, more models. More agents. More compute needed. That's what you're buying exposure to. Not hype cycles.

Permissionless is not only about participation. It is about guarantees that cannot be revoked. It means: • No actor can censor computation. • No jurisdiction can rewrite the protocol. • No company can alter the rules unilaterally. • No founder can reshape the system for

Five companies owning all AI isn't a future. It's a nightmare.

Build where no one can switch you off.

Building for 2030, not 2025.

Bitfury Group The Bitfury Group has completed a $12M GNK purchase following a community vote. It’s a clear signal: the future of AI compute will be distributed, not centralized. The community of compute contributors made this outcome possible.

Bitcoin created economic incentives so powerful they spawned an entire ASIC industry. Miners needed more efficient chips → Hardware manufacturers responded → Infrastructure exploded beyond what any centralized entity could build. Gonka does this for AI hardware. Right now:

Permissionless isn't ideology. It's the only way to avoid capture.

Most crypto: Tokens float above reality. No link to work. No link to cost. Result is predictable: pump, dump, disappear. Gonka: A coin is backed by computation itself. Each unit reflects real hardware time, real energy, real inference work. No artificial inflation, no free

PoS pays stakers. Not compute. Result: 95% of value flows to people who contribute zero cycles. Gonka removes that imbalance. You earn only if you provide compute.

Bitfury The Bitfury Group commits $50M to Gonka. First investment from their new $1B ethical tech fund. Three months since launch: 6,000+ H100 GPU equivalents processing real AI workloads across a distributed network. Nearly 100% of compute goes to productive work. No waste on

Traditional networks: VCs and early token holders capture value Gonka: People running GPUs capture value Infrastructure comes from people buying hardware and running it 24/7.

PoS creates people who earn by holding, not doing. They contribute zero infrastructure. Just locked tokens early. Now they extract yield forever while others do actual work. Feudalism with blockchain characteristics. Gonka: You earn by running hardware. No rewards for passive

300K ordinary computers once outperformed the world’s top supercomputer. Not because they were powerful individually, but because they were coordinated. That was the lesson: scale comes from participation. Gonka applies that idea to AI, now with real incentives.

A new commitment to decentralized compute. In a public discussion with the @daliberman, Margulan Seissembai Margulan Seissembai committed $1M to the ecosystem. With 6,000+ GPUs online, the demand for decentralized computation is accelerating. Watch the full conversation:

Every sci-fi warned us about centralized AI. Skynet gains consciousness, decides humanity is the problem. Centralized machines enslave everyone in the Matrix. A single AI network goes rogue in I, Robot. The plot was always the same: centralized intelligence leads to dystopia.

Too cheap to centralize is the goal, not the slogan.

Energy became money once. Add intelligence to the equation and you get a new kind of currency: verifiable compute. Both are anchored in physics, not promises, and that’s why PoW endures.

Centralized AI: Only US and China compete. Everyone else permanently behind. Decentralized AI: Startup in Estonia = same access as Google. Researcher in Kenya ≠ needs AWS approval. Infrastructure that doesn't discriminate by geography. Talent anywhere competes with capital
